Gotta Make Em All: Turning Summer Into a Pokémon

Greetings Pleasants. I made a promise to my dear Blogging Bestie that I would turn her into a Pokémon!  I have turned Indigo, Irina and Myself into a Pokémon before!  So my bestie deserved this as well…. then stuff happened that every writer goes trough and “crisis”  happened.  Now however the time has finally come to redeem that promise!  And we find out what Summer would have been… had she been a pokémon!

Also check out her blog!

The Typing of Summer

My best friend on the blogosphere is really easy to classify into pokémon typings. So much so that she has an abundance of typings available to her.  She is a self proclaimed pixie, so the fairy type would be an obvious pick! That would mean I pretty much define everyone ever with the Fairy Type though. It’s my favourite type and while I definitely think Summer is a pixie I think the way how pokémon stereotypes people and pokémon she would actually not fall under that typing. You see, Pokémon quite likes to stereotype, iconography that is immediately clear on why it’s that. Maybe with Summer you’d have to look a bit before you see the pixie! Besides, people seem to quite dislike a lot of humanoid pokémon…or REALLY like them … in the wrong way. I do not want that to happen to Summer! So instead I looked at what would the eye see! After all.. in Pokémon.. if a Pokémon is Blue…. it is PROBABLY a water type! If it is green.. it’s probably a grass type and so on!

Summer and I share a diary in which we write and Summer writes a lot about plants, nature and her cute wooden fence!  Besides that she is a witch, I assume she is Wiccan, though I am not fully sure we ever truly specified, which has deep connections with nature as well. So I feel like making her a grass type would be a fairly logical pick!  She is a type of person I like to have by my side. I am not to keen on using water types, it feels so Vanilla.. but in 90% of my parties you will find a Grass Type and a Fairy Type. So by choosing grass as her main typing she’d be always by my side… Well I say that.. but in the design section I will track back on that point a bit.. but regardless, the grass type is a great base typing for my friend!  It is nurturing, but also durable, it can release powerful attacks with patience or support allies.  That very much feels like Summer! She endures and blooms!

For her secondary typing we have many, many options! As a witch the psychic type makes a lot of sense, but I don’t want her to be a grass variant of Delphox or a Celebi clone. Besides, Summer might like bugs as well!  I am not sure about that one..but she feels like she would talk to bees outside to pollinate her flowers! I could make a rock type joke.. but I won’t!  Fairy was viable as well!  Yet for some reason when I imagine Summer, I always imagine her “element”  is air. I do not why.. that’s just what my inner me tells me!  So she’d initially be a Grass flying type! She lives near vegas so she would not like the cold I assume! .. Though she loves snow she said!  Still…. I think the winds symbolise the wisdom and embracing nature of Summer very well. There is another type that fits her very well.. but that one is for the design.

Designing Summer

Grandmother Willow By Talesof - Grandmother Willow PNG Image | Transparent PNG Free Download on SeekPNG

While I had some difficulty coming up with a good design for Irina and John/Indigo with Summer I immediately had this picture in my head! Like I said Pokémon likes to stereotype and Summer has a few very distinguishable features!  She is a fair bit older than most other bloggers out there so I feel her design would kind of lean into that! It also works very nicely with the theming of nature! We haven’t had much of an ancient nature spirit!  There is Celebi.. and in fairness, Celebi is already a perfect depiction for Summer. It literally is a nature protecting Pixie spirit thing!  So if I were to give all those I made a Pokémon for a real Pokémon counterpart, mine would be Sylveon, Indigo’s would be Bisharp and Irina would be Froslass  I do want to do something special for Summer though… and I kind of imagine her being this great and mighty willow tree. You know, like the one from Pocahontas.. I hated that movie, and I think she might too but the design of the grandmother willow always stuck with me.

A willow tree naturally already includes the wind element in it a bit it’s design but for Summer I want to make it more of an element. She has other pokemon dancing on her wind, imagine cutiefly and ribombee but also comfy dancing around the gales that come from the tree.  She would be like a mother to all Pokémon.. where Mew is the genetic parent of all Pokémon, Summer would be it’s caretaker, their eternal guardian… not so much of the Pokémon itself.. but the fragile ecosystem that houses them. As such it would only be fitting to make her a legendary pokémon. Saying it like this makes her sound a lot like Xerneas but again, Xenereas is more fauna based while Summer would represent balance in Flora.. and general nature more. Since the grandmother Cedar is a true story in Ojibwe Native American culture, I decided to base her pokémon name on the Ojibwe name for willow, which is Oziisigobimizh. Which might need some tweaking. The Ojibwe word for Grandmother is Nookomis.. which is a lot easier to adapt. We will change it to Nakomis , to be a portmanteau of Nookomis and Nature (as I found no Ojibwe word for Nature.. just for Napkin). 

Nakomis would however get a second form! Much like Darmanitan, she would have an ability to change mode  Somehow Darmanitan goes Zen Mode when he takes damage and takes on an extra typing. Her ability we will call Nature’s Fury! It will not trigger on herself.. but when an ally in her party is on low hp and she is switched in!  If this occurs Nakomis will deroot herself from the earth to punch her enemies away with her massive power! Summer used to be a bodybuilder and was approached for martial art stuff as well.. so her being a vengeful nature warrior would make a lot of sense, and it would just be a Pokémon that otherwise would always be rooted in the round!  The roots hold the earth together though.. so it would explain her ground type immunity while being a flying type!  Now though she is no longer a cheerful protector..in offensive mode… those who put her in that mode.. have to go and they can only be taught the harshest of lessons!

So I did fail the art a bit this time.. but it’s just an indication!

Pokédex Entries for Summer

Nakomis would be a legendary Pokémon, but it would not be a legendary box art! Instead she would most likely be part of a legendary trio. Having some native american element to it, they would be represented in parts of a totem. The Tree that nurtures nature, the “Sunbird/Roc” that guides humanity and the predator that keeps Pokémon from rampaging. The predator being depicted as some kind of seaweed/moss-like wolf-shark hybrid. Respectively a Fire Flying type that gains the rock type when there is at least two fainted Pokémon in the party for the Sunbird/Roc”  and a Water Flying type that gains the electric type if hit by a super effective move.  They represent the entire spectrum of live together and would be known as the Totem Trio. Their Pokédex entries would describe how they differ from each other:

Nakomis: The wisest and most tranquil of the Totem Trio! Her roots are so deep in the earth, Nakomis can use them to sense threats to nature anywhere on this gloves! Her essence can travel on her own wind to aid where she needs!  When her allies suffer Nakomis awakens and will not rest until the assailant is dragged into the earth where it will remain snared in her roots forever.

The second entry in the mirror game would talk more about their origins.

Nakomis: Believed to be the spirit of a tribes woman who loved Nature so much! Every day she would come to take care of this ancient Willow Tree.. yet one day the wind only brought her spirit to the tree.. and they became a single entity.

The trio would basically be, a human taking care of nature, a pokémon/animal taking care of humanity and a plant creature taking care of Pokémon.  To bring everything into balance. There would be a few tribes scattered across the Pokémon World and depending on which of the trio is depicted at the top would be the one the tribe worships the most. By finding some ancient tables and linking humans to protecting nature, you can enter the sanctuary of the ancient tree Nakomis. Where the player would be able to capture her. The tribe would tell those who capture Nakomis, that this is but one manifestation off her  She can seemingly teleport on winds to wherever she is needed, as can the others of the totem trio.  On the spot where Nakomis would be, there would already be a new sprite! Implying this might be the first legendaries that exist multiple times! However it would be hinted that all Nakomis are the same being and would not be able to fight herself in a Pokémom battle. 

The Totem Trio does seem to battle each other throughout history a few times though!  For example a forest fire that decimated some woods, but created fertile land for man to grow crops would be marked as Nakomis losing to Ondaaman (The FIreBird )  Makéigan (the aquatic plant wolf) losing to Nakomis could happen if pokémon/animals got sick from eating some of the berries meant for smaller species who can’t eat other things or simply nature overtaking an animals former hunting ground. All in all these pokémon would be mentioned on a fairly regular basis in rumors and names. Some may simply say: Our town used to stretch out way more north.. but the forest overtook it all, I guess the spirit of the grandmother proved stronger than our ambition. Stuff like that!

Summer’s Role

Aromatherapy (move) - Bulbapedia, the community-driven Pokémon encyclopedia

Giving a legendary a role is quite hard! They usually are very mixed and do everything quite well! Some things are better than others for sure.. but their base stats are usually so high it doesn’t really matter.  In Summer’s case, she would have a much more specific role!  Summer isn’t the type to immediately spring into action!  She would be more tactical about it! She has endurance! So I feel like Nakomis stats would tend to be more on the defensive side.  She would have a lot of HP and very good special defence and normal defence would be solid as well!  In this form her moveset would probably rely on her casting tricks. Stuff like Tailwind to boost the speed of her team, using Spore to lull enemies to sleep and then use moves like Horn Leech and Drain Punch to keep her own life force up! She would probably use a lot of draining moves as nothing goes to waste. She would get full support move sets as well, moves like Wish/Healing Wish, Aromatherapy or Purify would all be great to run on a Nakomis.

The Battle mode of Nakomis, does still rely on moves like Horn Leech and Drain Punch, but it would also feature moves like Leech Life and ironically, toxic, nature itself can clearly use toxins to defend itself. Strength Sap and Giga Drain would be other moves that could be ran on her!  She gets no moves that “just”  damage the opponent (well toxic maybe). All moves have to have a heal effect. THis can include status though! So moves like Smelling Salts, or Wake Up Slap still can be run on her, as they do have a secondary effect that implies healing.  This does mean her fairy move usability is limited to draining kiss, but hey she can also learn the fairy move moonlight!  While in her combat form, her offensive stats inverse with her defensive stats so she becomes more fragile but able to deal more damage! She is very slow though! This means players do have to balance healing themselves and their allies quite a bit!  But it will be a fun Legendary to use. Her supportive nature represents how the world arounds us allows us to grow and thrive but if we damage it to deeply nature will strike back.

The Plant Wolf thing Makéigan would start out as a a physical attacker, that swaps into a speedy sweeper, (hoping that he faces already damaged pokemon to now properly outspeed them and take their little remaining hp down). It gets a mix of priority moves but also heavy damaging physical moves.  It represents how a wild animal at first will attack without reservation.. or feast on a large meal.. but in order to survive it must adapt and get smarter.
Ondaarman would change from a special attacker into a physical attacker. Symbolising that lessons to humans are first tried to be bestowed by words ..but if humans refuse to learn from each other eventually man will turn violent and try to teach the lesson through force.

Thus all of them in their own way guide those who face them to adapt and live a better way and keep everything in balance.. and that is what I think Summer’s Pokémon lore would be! Nakomis is my newest Pokémon!

So how about you?! Would you like to become a Pokémon?! What Pokémon would you have made based on Summer?! Let me know in the comments and who knows, you might become a pokémon too , if you let me! 

Summer Brings the Sunshine When Winter Comes: Another Sunshine Blogger Award

Konichi-welcome Island Guest !  I lost count of how many Sunshine Blogger Awards I have done by now!  I think  it’s close to ten!  I took a break from tag posts for a good while but I can never refuse to answer my Blogging Besties questions! So we tackle a new Sunshine Blogger Award .. but break most of its rules again. I know that may be rude.. but it’s just SOOOO many people to tag! We all did this a lot .. so I am trying to shape this into something on a a more pro-active basis rather than a reactive one! I do love the tag though and I do love Summer’s Questions.

Do we even do the Rules Still?

Display the Sunshine Blogger Logo, thank the one who nominated you, answer 11 questions, nominate 11 other bloggers and ask them 11 new questions. It’s so familiar to me that we can brush through these! Will I nominate 11 bloggers? No!  The tag has been around for so insanely long that I think everyone did these. If you like my questions you can answer them if you don’t that is fine as well.  If you want to participate just comment one of the questions in my comments.. and as a reply I will answer it.. in the end up to 11 questions can be asked of me and by then I will have nominated 11 people.. who interact with my blog! Isn’t that a neat less intrusive system?!   Woot! Ideas!

It’s not that I dislike rules or anything but 11 is a very high number to  nominate if you have done this tag 10 times or so! Thats 110 nominations!  I don’t have nearly that amount of active followers.. the community I dabble in I’d say is .. 50ish people large.  I can’t even keep up with so many of you even though I’d like to.. so self nomination by mutual interaction is the way to go!  I don’t mean to be disrespectful to any post creator .. just as a tag is used over and over again I think it should evolve a bit.. and this feels like a proper evolution!

What?! Your Blog-Tag is Evolving!

Now with that said , Thank you Summer for nominating me and I was really intrigued by your questions so I will answer them!  Here we go! Thanks for being such a loyal follower and supporter and having such an amazing life that leads to some of the most interesting tag answers I can read as well! You have such an interesting blog and people really need to check out your amazing art and insightful ideas! They can even do so by clicking on this link! Summer has free Butterscotch candy for everyone! Here is my answer to your questions!

Summer’s Questions

Question 1:  Now that the pandemic has thrown all the building blocks of our lives up in the air, shuffled them, and dropped them randomly – have you made any significant life changes, either day to day or in your future plans? What have you learned?

I remember this episode of the tv show Community called Debate 109. In which Annie and  Jeff have to debate whether mankind is good or evil. Covid to me has shown that mankind is inherently evil and selfish. It might sound rude but we have revealed to have zero respect for each other. I usually stand with the more careful side but I do occasionally see some people and a close friend may come closer than six feet on a rare occasion. I think we need to be careful .. yet we also can not be TOO scared and pretend to fight everything. Nature is calling and telling us we did bad… we can fight for those we hold dear and we should.. but we can not fight for everyone.  If we oppose nature too much.. it will happen again.. and again.. so for me the Covid times are about finding balance. 

Making choices.. both paths have their benefits. .and none is inherently wrong.. as long as we keep some semblance of sense. That doesn’t mean balantantly ignoring the rules because you think masks are stupid.. or saying our goverments are harvesting DNA or testing panic scenario’s… No I simply mean that if you want to give your cousin a hug.. and none of you are anywhere near sick.. and the hug is worht more to you than that risk.. if you wash your hands afterwards.. maybe you can.

What we can not do is let this divide us. If I am more careful than a friend of mine.. I do not mind if he goes out to party with more people than is allowed.. It just means I will wait 10 days before I see him. I do not judge him because he needs that interaction to thrive. He doesn’t judge me for being careful. If he needs to socialise.. he will then afterwards not visit family that is weak.. or at least warn them of what he did so they can make an informed choice. It’s okay not to listen to all advice.. but if you ignore advice , accept that people might stay clear of you.. It’s okay to follow all the rules to the letter.. but do note that without people ever taking risks and breaking the rules we would have been much lesser of a world as well.

We share this world .. and we already have plenty of enemies so let’s not let a disease separate us. Respect each other’s opinion and don’t try to force your way upon others. Of course you will have to follow the law.. so if the government says you need to wear a mask.. you will need to wear a mask. There is no big evil government trying to collect DNA samples to easier keep track of everyone and turn the world into a police state.. and even if they did what do you have to fear from them having your DNA if you are a law abiding citizen.. Sure you have right.. but the right to privacy will not be invaded  if you act like a normal person.

Sure you can’t go burn down 5g towers.. that sucks if that is your thing.. but what good will privacy do for you.. if you are not safe.  People measure only with their own best interests in mind all the time..and have become less and less compatible with each other.. that is what Covid has thought me.. and I adapted to it.. in a sense that I will focus my life on the people that matter in my bubble, I can not create a better world.. but I can create a better world for myself.

Question 2: Of all the many streaming services now offering anime, who is your favorite and why? Which one do you watch most?

Crunchyroll offers less basic stuff than Netflix does, and is the one that works most consistently in Europe..  HighDive I think is not available to me.. and let’s not even begin about Fun.. I basically select anime shows I watch now based on whether or not I can find them on Crunchyroll or if one of my DvD collecting pals has them in their library.  There are a few more factors that come into play but Crunchyroll has been my defacto service for a while now. So much so that I use it’s icon for my Anime Cocktail featured image-thing!

Question 3: Do you even know what a CD is? 3.5 Floppy Disk? Vinyl record? Owned any? Still own any? Is this one question or five?

I owned all of them and I still have a few CD’s.  I had Commander Keen on Floppy Disc , it was this space platformer game about a guy in a pink shirt shooting space slugs with his laser! It  was very fun!   There was a while when we had to do our homework on Floppy Disc even which was super nifty because it was so easy to cheat.. those things cost like nothing.. so if I had done a bad job on my homework I would always wreck my floppy. I would always pretend to be super upset.. because I always had good grades teachers always believed me.. my odd movement would make them put them in my bag unlucky and that little metal thing on the top would clip to my zipper and voila.. I skipped homework!  Vinyl I did not own a lot of .. my dad was a hobby musician and grandpa was a music teacher that kept forcing music onto me.. and so often that I always felt listening to music is a chore.  

The Vinyl I did have was Disney Audio Books.. or well retellings. I had the Smurfs on Audio Cassette.. which I think is missed in this question as a medium and I had the Disney collection on Vinyl. my favourite Vinyl was that of Robin Hood.. because we did not have those on VHS .. another medium that kind of is missing here as well.. we never had Betamax though..  anyway.. since I never had Robin Hood on VHS I would often listen to the vinyl in our playroom. One day my sister wanted to play with me and I wanted to finish the story.. so she took the record from the player and hit me on the head with it.. it broke!  I was super upset for days!  I have never watched or listened to Robin Hood ever since!… Well the disney movie at least.

Question 4: What do you think is going to happen after you die?

I believe in reincarnation of sorts. As physics tell us the energy before a reaction equals that of the amount of energy after a reaction thus energy can never be expended and just transformed. Whatever energy we have will return to the earth.. whether that is us decomposing to fertilising the plants, after my death my energy will remain.  Eventually that plant will be fed to a few cows and I will love on as the energy of a 20 cows.. and then the stereotypical american will go Mac Donalds and eat 20 burgers.. and I will live one as an American!… If Mc D still uses reall beef and not Soylent Green by then. Maybe I will return as an actual person .. who knows.. I just know my energy will never go away!

As for an afterlife.. I do think there sort of is one. When we are dreaming time slows down we see things and can experience things beyond what is thought possible. I do belief that when we die our brain.. just like it makes your life flash in front of your eyes just before you die.. can enter a dreamlike state.. which can be considered an afterlife.. a nearly everlasting dream…caused by all sorts of processes going up in there. Trapped in a bliss induced by our own decay.. this final dream will be what we perceive as “heaven. Now I already told I believe if planes of existance beyond our comprehension linked to creativity and ideas and I do belief that our concious from the dream state can transition into these other planes.. as long as people remember us.. , think of us or imagine how we would respond to a thing after we are gone. It will literally allow us to live on in the memories of others.. digging into that plain of existance that we call imagination. This is also why I do kind of want to be remembered for the person that I really am.. if I ever meet my demise.. that way my dream may never end and I can stay in heaven.

Question 5 : What is your favorite bird?

This should come to no surpise to people who frequent my blog but it’s a duck!  It’s an adorable species that is distinct enough from other birds to be recognised by anyone, it has this level of clunkiness to it that I do appreciate in animals and a very distinct sound.  Ducks aren’t as evil as Geese and make for good and lovely pets! I have seen so many videos of ducks just enjoying being petted or even listening to the radio.  Back when we had a little pond in our garden we always had ducks in summer. They would come and hang out to the pond and walk to our window to be fed.  These were wild ducks yet they all bonded with us.. and each had a bit of a different bond with most of the family. The female duck really bonded with mom while  one of the male ducks really preferred me.. It was quite lovely to see personalities in them and such.. A few other birds had that as well but for me duck have the full package.

Question 6: Do you think you have a totem animal? Or Spirit animal? What is it?

Yes I do, it’s a cat.. and that is strange because I am totally not a cat person. Yet I “hallucinate” a cat every now and again. It’s a black cat.. and it’s always the same.. it has yellowish eyes and a white tipped tail. It also has a bit of white in the face. I see it staring at me from time to time.. usually just from outside a window on a roof. The first time I saw it.. I told dad  I saw a cat in my room (I was 15 I think)  it walked backwards after seeing me spot it.  We searched the entire house but could not find it.  Whenever I see it it usually is a signal that I should be careful because some bad luck is coming my way.  It’s avoidable..but in a way it works like the Pokémon Absol to me. Who predicts disasters.. the cat predicts trouble. Yet I have also seen it running in some bushes and when I look below I found money.. or once a little mouse that got trapped in empty soda can. So I do believe I have a animal spirit guardian of sorts.. it might also bring me bad luck! But just like with real cats.. you never no what they will drag in.

Question 7: What is a comfortable indoor temperature for you? No, really, I’m curious. What’s your thermostat on, if you have one?

Well isn’t this a tricky one.. .. I do have a thermostat in my new home but as a European I use Celsius and not that weird one Americans use.  (Celsius uses the temperature that H20 changes from liquid to  solid and gaseous state as 0 and 100 point and other than that scales to the absolute scale of Kelvin). I usually use 19.5 degrees C to be productive but warm and 20.5 degrees when I want to be toasty and snuggly in front of the tv. This means that I am usually most comfortable with temperatures between 66 degrees Fahrenheit and 68,5. The warmer it gets the least productive and groggy I get!  I love wearing big sweaters to hide in so I don’t need the temperature to be insanely hot!

This is before I get my first gas bill though! In my old house gas was included in the rent price.. though they tend to frick me over in the end! 

Question 8: How do you feel about slice of life anime?

Slice of life is a very big concept and there are anime within the genre that I do like.. I mostly like Slice of Life  when it is used as a subgenre though.  Slice of Life episodes in Shonen anime I absolutely adore. Slice of Life moments in horror make the impact  of it all so much bigger.  It makes characters really relatable. I do enjoy Slice of Life moments a lot.. ..

Pur Sang Slice of Life anime however I usually find boring. There are exceptions like Watamote which is one of my favourite anime, but usually I find Slice of Life anime devoid  of any relatability.  I do not talk with friends on how to eat a pudding bun, I do not have 27 potential lovers or even 2..  It either depicts an to idylic life for me or something to zaney.  I like my loony characters and odd stories but I don’t really feel anything by seeing a potato peel itself and jump into a curry.  Japanese culture often doesn’t help make these situations any more relatable and without that connection I do think many of those stories are lackluster.

Question 9: Do you watch the same genres in live action as you do in anime?

No, life action I mostly watch Sci-Fi and Horror shows.. also a lot of those crime shows! Or well I used to.. I nowadays barely watch any life action fiction. I rewatch some Buffy, some Power Rangers and a few sitcoms just because they are on tv but I am mostly done with Life Action series. I like the Mandalorian and will watch the second season once it is completely released  but there is a predictabilty in Western Media that has mostly put me off it. Each CSI clone has basically the same episodes in a different order, there is a structure that makes them ultra predictable to me. I did not care much for Game of Thrones after season 3 because we mostly just had a looping plot. Stranger Things is just “every Steven King Novel Ever”  stretched over an entire season with just a dash of cosmic horror and some 80’s flavouring.  The west really very much more than the east wants to see the same thing over and over again.. and due to how my mind works I can’t watch those series and feel I haven’t seen this before.

This is also why I don’t watch a lot of Shonen and prefer the odd ball anime that I do .. I want to be suprised, I don’t like to be able to predict a series. I try to turn my head off when watching these things but I pick up on this subconsciously. Even in movies I have been able to predict a final scene of a movie based on how the first shot was framed. For example there was this movie where we see a woman come home and put her key on the dresser. Putting it away in a drawer.  The scene was shot from a frog  perspective and  would linger for just a second so I knew in the end she would attack the killer with that key.  At some point she did not do it when inviting a certain character over.. because .. she had mail in her hand that day or something and I knew.. well that guy is the killer then.. he does not know she keeps her key there and it will allow her to escape. A 20 second opening shot and I already connected the dots and solved the entire movie for the intermission in the cinema. I can’t do that with anime! ..It’s also why I tend to wath more YouTube nowadays because predictability isn’t a thing there.!

Not even sure what genre this would be!

Question 10: Do you remember the very first anime you saw? Was it love at first sight?

The first time I subconsciously saw anime .. was either Alfred J Quack if you count that one or MapleTown  and I loved both series.. especially Mapletown had me crazy as a kid!   I have NO memories of the series except for .. I loved Mapletown and the theme song in dutch! Then it would take years to see an official anime and it was Gundam and I hated it! It was aired in front of shows I thought that were good and Gundam was just too complex and dark for me at the time. It would take me awhile until they started to air Dragon Ball, Yu-Gi-Oh Beyblade and Medabots to fall in love with it again.  Pokémon as well of course.  Those were love at first side.. but Mapletown will always be my really official first. I watched it when I was 3 to like 5 or maybe 6.. not sure.. and I just remember it made me happy.. so love at first sight? Yes! I think so. Opening down below if you aren’t checking this in reader!

Question 11: The EMP hit. Everything with a computer chip is fried. Will you survive?

Nope! I have a device on my heart that helps me out at times.. I assume that would break as well .. so I’d probably literally die from the EMP itself.  It kind of depends on how fried the pacemaker would be. I have no landline to call for help , and not a strong enough voice to yell out I am in trouble.. so I’d probably be up doodies creek without a paddle.. and a hole in my canoe!

If the device powers down without leaving me with any damage I would be good for a while. I do  keep a slightly okay stack of cash with me.. so I can pay for some groceries, I usually live on  day to day basis so I don’t have a lot of supplies going to waste, so I would probably just buy some bread and cheese and wait it out while getting some paper and pens to write stories down the old fashioned way as a way to kill time. I also have a lot of analogue games, and a pretty great analogue hobby so in that sense I would not die straight away.

However deep stress can cause my heart rythm to go wonky pretty easily and I think seeing the entire world blacked out and having no means of communications would cause enough stress to still kill me..  So unless I happen to have a friend over.. I would say I am quite litteraly done for! .. Not in the sense that most millenials would.. but like actually ..dead dead!

Elle’s Real Quest! What Bad Luck! I got Reborn into another Life and Now I am a Side Character 4

It has been a while since I have returned to my Isekai and my beloved character Elle.. who now combined with me! In this series we explore a fictional me being reborn in another world.. yet because she did not want to give up her qualities she asked the gods to just amplify every trait of herself. Her intelligence rose, her memory became almost perfect and she even became able to also do magic. However also her social awkwardness rose and worst of all her bad luck!  Her bad luck in fact was so bad.. that she did not reincarnate in her own story as a main character.. she was reborn as a side character.

In the last part Elle got a mock quest of her guildmate Carlita to find her cat Autumn. When Elle came home with a wrong (black)  cat she adopted it herself and named it Autumn.. a few days have passed since then.. since the main character is out of town..nothing really interesting happened. Part 1 , Part 2 and Part 3 can be accessed by clicking on those part names.

Day 29: Morning

Dear Diary, I groggily awoken on the 29th day of my residency in this new world by a thumping sound on my door! As the temperature began to rise as the summer season drew closer the air was thicker than before. The smell of the ocean gathered deeper into my house. It made me sleep more soundly. With nearly one month of being in this world nothing has changed much compared to my first five days. Maine returned a few times.. but each time I want to grab her for a mission.. she relegates me to the side. I have been taking on side missions like shearing sheep and gathering a rich kid’s balloon among other things. It has left me with numerous injuries but also enough coin to provide for myself and Summer. Who now has a collar!  The tieflings at the docks still shun me! I do not know why! Oh but yes! As I was telling there was someone knocking on my door. As I stumbled with my fooves down the stairs I got another splinter stuck into them.. for those who may find this diary and open it somewhere in the middle.. fooves are what I call my feet.. they are a mix between hooves and human feet.  I tumbled down the stairs.. but I landed in the pillows I placed there. I fall off the stairs a lot so I spend some money on pillows to prepare myself.  I used a spell named Mage Hand.. which I had been practicing for about ten days.. to open the door and there was our guild Cleric.

Ynaja in Elle’s House

Ynaja stared at me from the door opening. Her raven curled hair tightly kempt behind her melanated face. Her holy light reflected in her eyes given them a goldenish tint. Her holy symbol was that of “the Gentleman” a god in this world that represents romance and adventure. It is rumored that he has a mortal form publishing all those picture book romance novels she loves a lot! It is just a rumor though! I think real books should have more words personally! Also for a god to pursue such trivial matters seems unlikely. Regardless, she asked if she could come in to help me up and I agreed.  She smelled like wet clay and strawberries. ‘Did your sealing break again’ I asked, trying to show interest for her social situation. She looked at me really surprised.  ‘Uhm.. how did you?!.. Maybe we should start with Hello?” I shook my head “Hello is a great greeting to make acquaintance, however we have since long passed that phase I am at the guild on a semi daily basis so I feel greeting each time is redundant.. so how is your ceiling’. Ynaja let out a chuckle “I am surprised you noticed there is some stone in my hair?” I once again shook my head. “Negative! Your bodily scent however has undergone a tonal change, normally you smell more like the wood teak wood that your guild booth is constructed out of now you smell like clay..since you told your ceiling to crack earlier.. I figured the scent of clay would explain that you once again had to fix it up’ Ynaja blinked telling me I was really something.  My inquiries on what that exact thing was she thought I was however went unanswered. She interrupted my questioning with a smile when she told me she had a real quest for me.

Apparently in the nearby city of Twiddir there is a Grande Casino that has been losing money to a roguish figure by the name of Romegg Xanwych. Some kind of young rich kid who enriches himself more by cheating and taking state money! The Twiddir Grand Casino is owned by the state. I was to travel there with Mirina the Drunken Monk and Ynaja. Mirina was there in case we got in a fight and Ynaja was there in the , according to her , a somewhat likely case that I got injured. I was to use my analytical ability to find out how Romegg cheated and put a stop to it before he stole more of the state’s money! I could totally do that! I was finally going to apprehend a criminal! So I quickly got dressed..which might have embarrassed Ynaja a bit in hindsight.. not that I slept in the nude but I had my duck Pyjamas on! My first real mission I was so happy!

Elle’s room.. a little more broken than last time

Day 30 : Morning and Noon

Dear Diary..that was a 51.2 Kilometer cart-ride from Windmere Port to Twidder. It took us a whole day, we arrived the next morning at the crack of dawn. This city smelled quite differently.. Dusty and manurey from too many horses kicking up the dust and dropping their colon’s  contents. Houses were plentiful oftenly stacked on top of  each other. All roofs had white shingles and blue songbirds nested on most of them. People were loud here! Yet nowhere were real conversations.  Instead people just shouted stuff at each other. I was too broken up from the trip to really enjoy it though. Shouting people are also scary! A heavy poluted rivier streamed trough the town..it would end up in Windmere Port but by then it would have cleared up in quality a bit again. Here you could see well.. everyone’s number two’s flowing. Judging by the smell when passing into town number 1 was also there a plenty! Living in a world without sewage is not what anime makes it out to be!

The town of Twiddir

Ynaja had  hired a donkey cart to move us forward..it was so slow! I miss cars! Mirina got really drunk and began ranting about a book of friends she once read. Like for hours and hours… she would not stop! When I told her I have not read it, she told me she could read it to me! She had the book with her! But every time.. a certain character would do a certain thing I would have to indulge in alcohol! That seemed detrimental to our mission so I passed. After a very long cartridge.. in which I actually managed to finish the book of friends which she borrowed for me to read in peace after me asking for it.. we arrived at the inn that hosted the casino! We checked in.. washed up.. and Ynaja guided me to the casino hall straight away. I could use a nap but she told me it was very important that we get this job as quickly as possible. After me explaining my cognitive functions had be impaired.. she went to vent as she said for a bit.. After coming back she agreed to let me sleep until lunch and after lunch I would have to hit the casino.

During lunch I was pretty sure I saw Maine and Rho sitting at a table in the back! I waved at them but my visual stimuli did not seem to reach them! The audio stimuli of calling their names was ignored as well. They just stared at each other and then I saw them kiss. I had my suspicions before but now I felt like a Facehugger had laid eggs in me and I was giving birth to a Xenomorph..but instead of in my stomach the Xenomorph was in my heart! Ynaja told me that it wasn’t Maine and Rho, just people who looked like them. However I was sure it was them. Maine with her length of 1 meter and 72 centimeter or 5.6430446194 feet as some readers would prefer, was taller than the average human female. While Rho’s crimson hair colour only occurs once in every 80 half elves or so. With the average woman is almost 8 centimeters smaller as Maine I think the fact that a woman of her age, hair colour and height would date a man confirmed to Rho’s states would be a statistical near impossibility.
Ynaja snapped at me however and told me to leave it alone so I did.

Elle is hurt her love interest found someone else

I was forced into the casino soon after eating lunch and I was brought to a table that had a young blonde man who reminded me a bit of Spark from Pokémon Go.. just in more medieval clothes. His blonde spiky hair, and youthful look fitted his tacky noble roguish look. An air of self confidence came from him as he played with coins between his fingers. He was playing a game of Roulette, which is strange because in our world Roulette only was invented in 1796..I am not sure why I know what because I never knew that before! Either Way this would make my mission challenging. Ynaja gave me 100 gold of the guild funds to play with! Should I win anything I was allowed to keep it for myself she said! If I lost I would still get paid.  She told me she and Mirina would keep track of me! I introduced myself to mister Xanwych and wished him a nice play! Now in full expectation of what Ynaja told me I knew that Romegg would be winning a lot so I placed a single gold coin on the number he bet on. We both lost! Also Roulette here has three colours and 45 numbers but no zeroes! He frowned a bit and I noticed he tabbed the table with a coin.. is that how he cheats? He bet on 42… so I did too! I was pretty sure he would win this time.. but when then number landed on 1 instead… I was actually pretty shocked! Did I just read that wrong? His mannerism seemed to reflect utter surprise too. Could he just have failed his cheat?!

Romegg Xanwych

Day 30: The Encounter

For some reason Romegg Xanwych began coughing violently and tabbed the table harder with his coin! By now it was not even subtle anymore! Yet the croupier guy seemed not to notice.. or did he? He did get flustered!  Wait could they be in cahoots?! I like that word. I told Romegg he would be my lucky charm and we would win together and he did not seem to mind me so much..but he was very much glaring at the ball guy! When we lost our money again he however turned at me!  “Is It you, are you messing with us”. The Croupier drew a weapon and Romegg as well.  The ball guy asked me “How are you doing it, did you see through our plans”.  He signalled five security guards to come in closer. ‘Mister Xanwych, we will make our payments to you as soon as possible.. we are sorry.. I am not sure what magic she uses,’ Romegg nodded at the guy ‘If your boss wants to keep the magic box you better bring me this girl’s head’. The Rogue then made his way outside but Mirina got in his way.. but she backed off with a tisk when she saw the Croupier called in more guards and drew a dagger from his sleeve as he charged at me. In his other hand still that steel little ball! That frightened me more than the dagger I would trip on it if that ever fell on the floor! I would have to finish this fight fast.

The attacking Croupier

A sharp pain went through my gut as I was shanked by the dagger. My brain was working harder than it ever did, my body however was not fast enough to react..I guess as a mage I have a low armor class and I bet my Dexterity modifier is trash! However.. if I did not stop him I would die! I had to cast a spell.. even if it might have harmed harm me! I know that one ice spell a bit!  The knife twisted in my gut a bit as he was clearly trying to kill me!  There wasn’t even a hiding it anymore.  Or was there?.. the guards drew away the sight of the crowd.. I was being murdered and Ynaja would most likely not be able to help me soon.. I had to do this myself. After the boar killing idea to become an owl.. I was offput on killing. I did not really study much.. offensive spells.. but perhaps if I approached it trough science I could still make it work! I saw that in a really lame Isekai show once. Cheat Magician. Since I was here to stop a cheater..using an approach like that seemed appropriate.


Elements get colder when their molecules get pushed closer together. I just had to use my Mana to slow down his molecules and put them closer together. I imagined my hand casting a mana net.. or more like a mana wrapping paper.. that I would cast around him then tighten to chill him.. but I was so scared! Being stabbed hurts a lot more than I could have thought! For those who think.. oh it’s a dagger..she probably only lost like 10 to 20% of her HP! Well .. Health Points mean nothing if you are actually stabbed! In games we always shrug it off but this was nothing like that. I had difficulty focussing! I might hurt this man.. but the pain and fear.. really made me let go of that desire not to hurt him. So when I touched him..I felt my mana flow as I let it out.. it felt as if a dam broke! Energy washed out of me all over the room! A Dewish..frosty white appeared on the floor, the glasses and even that roulette table froze shut… and the guy… well he just disappeared.. I heard a soft thud.. but he was gone.. and all around me was snow and ice forming.

Mirina meanwhile was using her monk abilities to deal a few Stunning Strikes and some flurry of blows knocking out three of the guards with ease. Using her reactions to deflect some throwing knives the others tossed at her. Their success hindered by Ynaja who was hindering her foes with the Bane spell.  Mirina approached the fourth and the fifth guard but she was low on Ki.She seemed genuinely concerned about my safety and spent her final Ki on another series of attacks. Her way of the Drunken Fist style fighting made her immensely hard for her opponent to hit. ‘When the Pink friend cries in panic, take a jab’ she yelled. “When Ynaja casts a spell take a Punch” she set knocking out some teeth of the fourth guard.  and when Mirina spends the last of her ki.. take a Nutshot” the guy grabbed his groin and fell down. Ynaja dealt with the other guards showing me both fighters were so much stronger than me. She casted the Area of Effect spell .. Spirit Guardians. A third level conjuration spell generally learned by Clerics. Four super pretty anime like boys  made of light appeared. They seemed slightly based on fairy tale tropes. As I touched her shoulder and smiled at her then dashed at all the guards invading our private space and they were knocked out by the light magic.

Mirina versus the guards and Ynaja’s Spirit Guardian (One of them)

There I was the dagger still in me.. but no more croupier in sight. I knew I was about to fail my mission again! Mirina had gotten a scratch from her scuffle as well.. I could not let her wounds be in vain so I searched around and I found a previously guarded door now open.. but there.. slithering against the wall was Romegg. He was almost at the exit.. I had to stop him.. but I knew no spell that was within range..I was not gonna fail however.. what felt like a breaking dam suddenly felt as if everything broke.. I wasn’t going to fail more! I had failed enough! By instinct I pointed my hand at him…and then everything went white! It was over! 
Oh no! Now that I read it that almost sounds like I died or passed out.. no I meant like.. the entire area I pointed at went white.. It all just deep freeze. Unfortunately so did Romegg. Like if you ever saw that Jason X movie?! Where he kills a girl with liquid nitrogen?! Kinda like that.. only he fell while his head froze and then.. well… at least he won’t be stealing money from the casino… wait a minute….

Day 30: Wrap Up

I remember crying a lot! I killed a man! I did not want to do it ..but it happened! Ynaja came over to heal me and Mirina seemed really angry at Ynaja. ‘You should have told her the truth’ I was crying so much that actually I did not realise this until much much later.. but whatever you are reading now is the revised version. I was a bit traumatised by my first kill that is not that easy either.. just because I get Isekaid. Regardless.. so yes.. Mirina told Ynaja she should have told me the truth. Ynaja scowled ‘She would not have come if I told her the truth’  Mirina apparently put my head on her shoulder and let me cry out! I don’t remember but I do  remember smelling tequila that day! ‘She failed her mission again.. or so she thinks, she actually did exactly what you wanted her to do, didn’t she?’ Mirina asked Ynaja shrugged. ‘No idea what you are talking about’ Mirina slightly rocked me up and down with her eyes glaring at Ynaja. ‘You used her bad luck to make Romegg lose all that money and cause a conflict ..so that Maine and Rho could get inside and do the real mission and find that box he was talking about right?’ Ynaja smiled. ‘Correct, we just needed Elle to create discourse. The real price is inside.. but trust me.. that artefact justifies the means’ Ynaja went on to pull the dagger out of me and heal me. However from the shock I completely passed out. For all those who ever role played a character getting stabbed with a knife!.. It hurts! ..It’s not just.. Ouch!… Mirina saw something laying next to my unconscious body.  She picked up a diamond and studied it. Inside it was a little steel roulette ball. ‘Did she just?’ Ynaja shook her head and looked at Mirina sternly. ‘Sell that and give the money to Elle as her share of the loot but don’t tell her about this’ 

 The dark skinned woman then said ‘We are done here’ Mirina wanted to object. Elle could be dangerous if that was the extent of her abilities. Suddenly a voice in  the drunken monk’s head appeared. “Seize this act Mirina, Elle acted precisely as I predicted. She has her uses to us and her role in this world and she has her flaws.. if it ever needs be we can take her down easily’.The voice thundered in Mirina’s head sounding femine and commanding.  ‘She is our Guildmate.. I’ll protect her like all my allies’ the monk objected. The voice boomed in her head once more! This time more divine and more regal ‘Do not forget your place, your loyalty lies with your guild not with one member’  The voice would then grow colder and more cruel.. almost inhuman for a moment. “Besides would you really risk HIM for someone not even of this world?.. Our mission is bigger than just one girl, if you can even call her that now do as Ynaja orders” The monk picked up my unconscious body and lifted me over her shoulder  “Yes of Course Guild Master” Mirina answered to the voice..

I woke up in my own bed?! How long had I been out! Summer was pawing at me looking hungry! There was a big sack of money  there at that time I had no idea where it came from! It had a note from Mirina saying it was all the stuff we could loot from our quest. It said the dagger that stabbed me was poisoned with a poison that made me see things that were not there. They kept me asleep for it to wear out. They captured Romegg after I made him slip because I froze the floor?! That’s not what I remember! Wasn’t he dead? I was told I must have been delirious. That knife did not feel poisonous! Also the way the croupier held his dagger did not make sense if it were poisonous. He hid it in his sleeve! Had my memory been that tainted?… I felt I had to investigate but something in my head told me to leave it alone and buy a fat fish for Summer… so I ended up doing that instead! She likes fish so much!.. Also I fell in a fish pile again…..

With that another episode is done! Will Elle ever realise she just did the side mission yet again?! What is this box? And what plans does this Mysterious Guild Leader have? What will Mirina do? So many questions, so if you like to find out, there will be a next time! Of course you can help to ensure there will be a next part by making sure I don’t starve to death, get bored to death or croak from Cafeine shortage! That is right! This is another Kofi plug! Until Raid Shadow Legends start to sponser me at least!

STAFF Introduction: Sunny The “Cabana Boy”

My dear Island Guests! Today we introduce our third and for now final STAFF member to our team. As in these are all the people who applied! You are of course always welcome! So who will join the team on this sunny day?! Why it’s Sunny of course! Sunny is our Cabana Boy. A Genderfluid biassed towards male who oftenly calls himself a Demi-Boy! Please give him a warm welcome!

<Disclaimer> Only the first picture for now is officially Sunny’s official art, another tool is used to make it.. more might come later. The extra images might deviate a bit but I wished to treat him the same as other STAFF Members <End of Disclaimer>

The Cleanest Cabanas

Sunny is a bit special as he is not the traditional avatar of his writer! He is but one avatar! He in fact is not even a human! He is a pixie! Recognisable by his Dragonfly wings and relatively short height of only being one and a half  meter of  five foot tall. He really is a chibi of sorts. His skin is kissed by the sun, while his hair is bleached by it. He prefers to wear his hair shaggy without much product in it. He goes for a very natural look. His golden dragonfly wings almost make it seem like he is radiant like the sun itself. His signature look is a fully yellow haiwain shirt he wears over a white T-shirt. He wears very short hand cut jeans and waddles around the resort barefooted. If he is not fluttering around chasing after little yellow bugs that is.

If you ask Sunny what is his function at the resort he will claim he is the Cabana boy! When you ask the manager , she tells you she hired him as an interior and exterior attendant. While both are vague the manager hired him to clean the pool, mop the hallways of the main building and clean up the cabana’s our guest can stay at.  In practice Sunny is found way more in at the pool or in the gardens then inside Cabanas or even the main resort. Yet he manages to keep everything sparkly clean. It is clear though he is an outdoor person.  His preferred pronouns are he and him as he personally finds they or them to be to much akin to the royal we. He is a down to earth Pixie that Sunny is! For the most part.. he claims he is a magical broom closet!  Sometimes he takes people there and once they get there they just get a slight sprinkling of fairy dust.. It soothes you and as you listen to what he has to say it takes you away to some magical story worlds. Like a little fantasy world – where the Tanuki King is waging war on the Chinese Astrology Animals, or Fluff Bunnies tend their Sacred Dandelion. Of course manager Pinkie has not experienced this yet because as demi-sexual as she is .. she is scared that the Broom closet is code.. after all you know what they say about cabana boys!

Back in the day, the Cabana Boy was basically a pool boy but was generally some super cute, sexy, got a six pack young Cuban male that all the middle aged white women drooled over and sometimes had an affair with over their vacation but he wasn’t someone you could be seen with in public you know? So if you ask, he’ll say he’s the Cabana Boy and grin winningly. It is unknown if Sunny does those Cabana boy things.. or what other powders might be mixed in with that pixie dust but the manager asks him to put these stories of his world into words on her computer screen. Just to be safe that she doesnt get lucky! So regardless if you want to go into the broom closet with you .. or you want to read through the story on your tablet while at the pool..sunnies stories are there for you to enjoy. While you are at the pool however Sunny may walk up to you and begin to talk about interesting bits of trivia about Japan, folklore, anime, games, animals and nature.So that is plenty of content this pixie can offer.

Sunny is a helpful but easily distracted fellow, he will fetch you a drink while you are at the pool to lazy to move, he will change your light bulb if you’d be to scared in the dark and he would take out the batteries of the smoke detector in your room, so you can light a candle or burn incense without you setting of the alarm. Indigo finds this irresponsible and sometimes wants to scold him  but after covering him in pixie dust the two they wander off together. Oftenly to go fishing!.. Or well they reel in fish.. give them a name then cast them back in. Unlike Indigo however , Sunny seems to recognise all the fish.

If he isn’t in the mood for fishing he is oftenly helping Kuro clean their glasses, talking about Daffodils or Butterflys. Fake sneezing so they can accidentally get a few colourful sprinkles on Kuro to make them look just a bit brighter and help them when their mood is at their darkest. He likes to help people find their way and because of this he often carries a little lantern. Which he borrows out to people when they feel they are stuck in the dark. Inside is a bunch of warm emotions and what seems like sunlight which guide people back to a happy place. For this reason he can be rather friendly with the manager when she tries to over decorate the island with pretty lights and sparkles again.  They can make the place so bright it even feels sunny at night.. and go as extreme as Pinkie putting her pink sparkles on Sunnies fairydust.. or Sunny wrapping pinkie’s coloured lights all around his guidance lanterns. Sunny also does some heavy lifting! Something the manager is utterly incapable of! So yes these two bounce off of each other very well!

A very Sunny Summer

The writer behind Sunny, is my blogging bestie Summer, by some of you better known as Foovay. She is  the reason Pinkie believes in real life pixies! Because.. if they are real Summer certainly is one. She claims to be one and I believe her. Just for all you sceptics out there interpret it as you want. A pixie and an alien together would make for a great anime!
My bestie has been around this earth for 29  years longer than I have, and she got married when I was three. So there is life experience and geek experience which will without a doubt result in some amazing stories from Sunny. She is Pagan as well, which I am pretty sure is like a Witch of sorts.. so she is a Pixie Witch.. which makes me think I need to add something to my Alien! What should I pick up? Let me know in the comments! I can’t stay behind my Blogging Bestie of course! As an american she isn’t going to help me much in my quest in finding all variants of English spelling but she lives in an RV so Imagine she is actually Miss Frizzle’s sister! The magic RV! She even scored herself a younger husband.. being eight years younger. Her husband’s health is a bit frail which at times can prevent her from writing so please be patient.. Good content will come from this amazing person.

Unlike Pinkie, Summer is quite an adventurer. She loves to  kayak, bike, hike and to travel. Kayaking will make me very sick.. and thus will probably kill me! (I get seasick from even swimming to long or standing on anything that doesn’t move solidly). While I am dutch I wrecked several bicycles. One time I was biking in the woods for gym class in school and we had to hop a tree.I woke up from a gym teacher talking at me.. I never felt so dizzy and when I saw what shape the bike was in I was so scared I would have to pay the school a new mountain bike..so doing it again would probably kill me. Hiking I kinda like.. but once I got myself trapped as I could not descend a hill with my footing.. so I ruined my clothes by sliding myself off.  I am not made for adventure.. but that is what makes me appreciate Summer so much. Having been an artist, animal control officer, a vet tech, an exotic dancer and  of course a writer she had a very interesting career which no doubt can lead to some very inspirational tales.  I am the NEET princessy girl locked in an attic because she is so frail and should not go out!  Summer is like the person who throws pebbles at my windows so we can sneak out and we end up Isekaid somehow! With her being like a very powerful fighter and me being the OP mage or healer.  Which again is neat because I really detect such an energy I can bounce off with her! So a great addition to the team.

There are still more colours to give away

Pink, Black, Blueish purple, Yellow!  Those are the colours of Paradise right now. With three people I can rely on I am extremely content! I did not think I would be having this many people here already! Yet if you too want a fun team to write with, if you are looking to blog without having to actually need to  do the whole backend! If you just want to write and have fun! You are also welcome to Paradise. As long as what you want to tell us is remotely geeky, we do not require you to have the skill for writing! Paradise is welcome to everyone.. We look at people with the drive to share their passions!  Kuro, Indigo and Sunny will undoubtedly produce some amazing content as we go along but so can you!  Passion and geekiness is what unites us and what will make you amazing as well! So if you are out there know that you will always be welcome… provided you can abide by the terms and conditions stated here.. As long as there are colours there will be a place for you!

In this welcoming spirit I would like you all to invite Sunny to the team. Have a chat with them on Twitter, leave something nice here in the comments or visit their own website! There are some sweet little posts there as well. I am not much of a mobile phone gamer, (not that I hate mobile games I just hate grinding in general)   but she sure tempts me with those cat and horses games.. and weirdly horses scare me a bit… not like really but if it’s not a pony I will keep my distance  a bit.. Even though I love unicorns.. I do know why though! When I was young a classmate of mine got bit by a horse right in front of me. His cry of pain was so intense I never forgot that pained cry.. So I am kinda scared to pet them. Okay I got sidetracked there! Anyway show some love! Stay tuned for some awesome content.. and allow this Sunny Summer to warm you up with wholesomeness..or possibly cute stories with some serious gruesome undertones!  It will be glorious either way! So show this new author some love!

As for my words to Sunny, whom I will address in their avatar form. Time for me to welcome him to the island! Dear Sunny! You are already such a fleshed out character, you have quirks and traits and that just shows how capable you are behind the keyboard as well. You have this energy and experience that makes me better and more peppy so I am incredibly excited to have you here! You were there for me for quite a while now and you helped me trough a major low!  You are like my duracell battery.. or my g-fuel.. (I think at least I still have no idea what G-Fuel actually is) . You can be the orange juice in every cocktail and bring that sunshine and pixie magic to everyone. I have zero doubts that you will fit in great and compliment the team greatly. I love the stories I have written of you so far and to share some is actually quite amazing. I may have gotten quite the amount of Sunshine bloggers alive in my one year career, you Sunny have already truly brightened my blogging experience! Now even more so!  Welcome to Paradise and thank you so much for being here!

What Bad Luck! I got Reborn into another Life and Now I am a Side Character (Part 3)

Hello dear Island Guests, it’s time for the third installment of my Isekai “What Bad Luck! I got Reborn into another Life and Now I am A Side Character. In this story I died by falling of a stairs in a moment of bad luck! When I could be reborn into another being with one wish I just asked to be a more amplified version of me! You know the whole super stats thing! Little did I know it would boost my social awkwardness and my bad luck as well! With that boosted bad luck, I became a side character! NANI!!! To see how my journey started you can read part 1 here and part 2 here! How will our quest go on?

Hello again dear diary!  I am sorry I haven’t written to you in so long! I spilled my inkwell on evening of the third day just as I was to chronicle that.. and well  I am sorry for tearing a pages out of you but things have gotten a bit messy! All in all it didn’t matter much anyway because that third day not a lot happened! I almost felled compelled not to leave my house and do anything! I kinda felt blue for failing my first quest as well. Like I could not be bothered doing anything so I just lay in my bed and thought about this new life. I wonder if Elle ..the lady I was reborn lived happily.. and where did she go?! Maybe I am just Elle and I am had a very weird dream ..and I am accidentally going insane..maybe it’s some sort of disease that rots my brain away! Then again I can still count exactly how many nails there are in my bedroom floor, and extrapolate that given my house dimensions to within a margin of about 12 nails are able to tell exactly how many nails hold my floors together. So maybe my brain is still fine!.. But day three came and went without any events. Day four was like that as well. I visited the Owl’s Nest briefly but they had no new quests. Since things were slow I thought I might ask Maine out for a date.. to thank her for the coins she gave me and .. you know she still is kinda good looking.. but she was still out on her forest trip.  Ynaja asked me where I was from and was like the way I was.. I did not understand at first but she thought I was weird.. it made me a bit sad and I went home, not doing much! I think I even forgot to eat!

Today however was quite differently! I went back to the guild and I saw Oscott, Mirina and Daria had returned so I guess Maine was back as well. I wagged my tail so hard I knocked over a glass of another woman in the guild, her name was Carlita a Celestial Bloodrager. She was Drow, from the Down-Underdark. If I ever find my way back to the real world and I can take  this diary let me explain! A Blood-Rager is an inbetween of a  Barbarian and Sorcerer Archetype.. who draw their magic power from something in their blood and Carlita is part angelic .. so she is prone to barbaric fighting but when she rages she changes shape of sorts getting a much cuter uniform and angelic wings! …A Drow is something close to a Dark Elf.. you know like those ones from Skyrim with the bluish skin In normal D&D they are from a place called the Underdark.. but in this world they call it the Down-Underdark ..and it’s like an Island far far away! So yeah I spilled her drink I saw her  transform because she was angry and then.. she looked super glowly and her outfit went white I even saw wings I think.. but then … I got knocked out again..later she told me she did not mean to , it was just a reflex and we talked a bit. When the dizziness in my head finally was over I walked up to the quest board and saw one new quest. There were more before but well in my time unconscious most were picked up already.

Bloodrager Carlita

The quest was a two person stake out in a romantic park, I would have to pose as the others lover ..so feed  each other sandwiches and like pretend to be a couple in love. Apparently someone was selling bogus love potions..or lust potions .. I am not exactly sure as I have found myself increasingly unable to read subtext. Regardless..a guy sold potions to couples to help deepen their bond but it actual makes people break up and hate each other and it had caused conflict in the town  that held the park.. which wasn’t to far away from our town either. I like love so the idea to defend it was super appealing to me!  Maine promised me to take me on the next quest so this is where I could make my move! However I did decide to ask around for other options though! Maybe she’d want some rest after her quest. Oscott looked quite pensive and said he needed to shine the inside of his armor so he could not. He must be a clean freak or something if he wants to do that because no one can see that!
Mirina told me to leave her alone and she wanted to get drunk. She would not go to a picknick because getting drunk publicly was fineable. Daria told me she had to do a thing.. at “whatsitcalled” and Carlia dropped her pen under the table, she could not hear me, she kept searching.. I did not remember her writing.. so maybe I am going insane!

Maine Finally showed up and I asked her to do the quest with me , she came up and smiled  reading the quest. “I think I might take this quest with Mister Mans if you do not mind Elle’ she said while taking the paper away from me. ‘I don’t think we would make a very believable couple now would we?’ she winked at me..I think..she might have stabbed her sword in my chest because that is how it felt! ‘Why?’ I was able to ask her that and she looked at me and frowned. ‘Well I like boys, for one and with your disabilities I don’t think you should go out there,you’ll be made in no time and get into danger, I rather see you safe’
‘M-my disability I asked?’  Maine looked at me and patted my head ‘You know , you are a bit low on charisma my dear, you have a charm for sure but socially you are a bit of a wreck’ I froze up … straight in the Kokoro! I bet this is how those anime characters feel like when the look grey and with the big white eyes and such! When she was gone.. so was my quest..
I sniffeled a bit when Carlita came to me and  gave me a quick hug. ‘I am sorry.. I bet she didn’t mean to hurt you…I just think she really wanted to take this quest with Rho though but hey you know what I have a quest for you, I recently lost my pet, I’ll give you 5 gold if you find it for me? ‘ 

Carlita told me she lost her cat called Autumn and upon me inquiring more details about the cat she at first seemed to be inclined to tell me something but than she changed her mind. ‘Maybe it is part of the quest you can ask around, meet some people in town, I live in near the ports. The house across the ship Jupiter’s Grace.. the one with the green roof. Perhaps you could ask one of the sailors if they have seen my cat?! It will help you proof Maine is wrong about your social skills as well sweety’ .  She winked at me shooed me off. ‘Come on you go girl! Your quest awaits’ . Since I needed the money and could use some experience points I dashed off. I did notice Carlita use a different voice inflection than before, indicating that  there is an increased chance of her knowing more about the whereabouts of her own cat. It is my hypothesis that she knows exactly where to find it and it’s not even missing but she wished to relieve my psycho-emotional malady. In fact given the downwards faced gazed and the avoidant approach factor Ynaja had heading towards the table I suspect she would soon inquire on Carlita why his quest was given to me!  Speculation could be made that this quest was given to me to secure my financial security.. but the way her eyes lit up it seems there have been well willing ulterior motives in play.  

Making why way to the docks I was almost overwhelmed with the salinity of the ocean air.. but also the scent of not so fresh fish! Probably heavily brined. I guess not having access to motorised ships and cooling decks has made the intake of fresh fish more difficult. After acclimating a bit I approached the ships. Apparently the ships are mostly named after gods followed by a blessing of some kind. Most ships were fishing boats like Silvanus Solace or Mystra’s Boon. One ship was a bit mysterious a trade vessel helmed by mostly Tiefling Sailors that seemed to avoid me, unlike me they  mostly had red skins, though there were a few variations and blue ones on top of the deck. They were the crew of a ship called Beshaba’s Pearl. It had a figurehead of a tiefling female but instead of demon like horns she had black deerlike antlers. I could not stop staring at it for a while.. until a seagull dropping hit my outfit.  I went onto the dock to wash it off..when all the Tiefling Sailors suddenly moved out of my way and withdrew the plank to their ship! I guess they really are superstitious about women being on boats. Unfortunately I fell in the water while  rinsing of my outfit because one of the wooden boards had come a bit loose… the ship would not even toss me a rope! Luckily I managed to climb back on shore again! Men can be so rude!

Finally I found the Jupiter’s Grace but it seemed all but abandoned. I noticed Carlita’s house which was quite a bit larger than mine. A single Drow woman looking very much like Carlita was sitting on the edge of the ship playing with a rose. Other than her the ship was completely abandoned. She wore a sailor uniform so I guess Drow have less issues with female crew members..perhaps they just do not genetically diversify that much so there is a big chance of being a female.. I should inquire more from Carlita at a later time. For now I had to proof I was sociable! So Maine would be proven wrong! So I spoke up as loudly as I could. “Salutations Lascar I was sent by thy kinsman to perform an inquiry upon a unaccounted for Genus Felis. hast thou by whims of faith perhaps perceived anything of such notion” The woman looked at me and pulled up an eyebrow. ‘Salty my what now?’ I do not know what came over me there I tried so hard to sound cool and convince her to work ..but now she thinks I was like a weirdo. I tried again.  ‘Excuse me Jupiter Sailor madame I am looking for my friend.. I mean my guildmate’s cate. She lives in that house with the green shingles over there’.  The lady stared back at me.  ‘Ai I have seen a cat, in fact the thing has been a pest and took off with some of the fish we were unloading.  You might want to check out the fish pile near the Mystra’s Boon, they are getting a cart.. I bet your fur ball will show up! ‘  She stared at me from the deck ‘Say you look soaked gal pal.. does li’l old Mako here make you THAT wet?’ She then licked her lips. ‘I fell in the ocean because a bird pooped on me.. I don’t know who Mako is.. is it a person with like a squirt gun or a like someone who throws a bucket of water?” The Drow looked confused “No I am.. you know what never mind’. So I went off.

Maho the Drow “Sailor”

I made my way towards the fish pile that was stacked near the fisherman boat the woman whose name I forgot to ask and tried to hide behind a crate.. unfortunately a bird had tried to pick up a fish and dropped it right in front of my fooves, my feet hooves and I slipped on it and fell into the pile of fish. While trying to crawl out getting fish slapped in the face everywhere I noticed the sound of meowing coming closer. I decided to hide for a bit longer in the fish pile and then flop out when the cat is eating it should not move then! The plan was quite successful, although the oil in the fish had made me a bit more oily than I would have liked.. so I slid a bit to far and bonked my head on a chest. Luckily my horns kept me safe.
The little cat did not get scared off by me! It was a tiny black cat.. not much past a kitten.  I called out “Autumn..come here.. Elle is going to take you to your Mamma!’ I do not know why calling myself by my new name comes so natural to me!  Yet the kitten actually abandoned the fish and like bonked it’s head against me a few times! Maybe it liked how fishy I smelled! I had no trouble picking it up!..Walking off the docks was a different story! I was so slippery.. but I had to keep Autumn safe.. so I brazed myself and walked back to the guild like I had pooped in my pants.. almost doing a crab walk as well.. so I would be sure I would not fall. At one point an orange Tabby cat began to follow me as well! It wasn’t as nice as Autmn though! It scratched at my legs a bit and trying to take a bit. So now I had to crabwalk with another cat nibbling at my feet! I bet if I could rinse of the fish oil at the guild it would return home! This cat actually had a collar! I should get Autumn a collar as well!  That way Carlita would be extra happy! Crabwalk to the store!

By the time I got there though the store was closed! I did not dare to move fast..enough so I guess I should give her that as a treat the next day. The orange Tabby had stopped scratching my leg as well.. which is good because I am pretty sure I could see some bone sticking out! I should have Ynaja heal that. ‘Oh look it’s the Tiefling and her cat parade’  a familiar voice suddenly said. It was the Drow woman that was the Jupiter Sailor. ‘If you like cats that much , I have a pussy for you’ she said. ‘While I would like to become a pet owner myself I am unsure if I currently possess the economical means to sustain a  cat for an extended period of time. ‘No worry babe’ the woman said ‘This pussy will leave in the morning’ I frowned.  ‘I do not think a pet should be only kept for a day, relocating stress will still be in effect so while I would not mind a cat staying over for a night I think it would not be in their best interest accept a deal like this so I am afraid I must decline. The woman laughed and patted me on the head. ‘Aren’t you precious lil old Mako likes you..she’ll probably give up for today but don’t you worry babe she will be back’ I gasped! ‘The water throwing person? ‘ The sailor laughed again and walked off. Such a strange person! I find myself completely incapable to comprehend what she wants.. perhaps it’s her way of speaking it seems more crude than I am used to.. I find myself unable to make conclusions based on these sentences.

Little Leg Hurting Monster

When I finally got back to the guild Carlita was already outside waiting for me. ‘She saw me coming in slowly for a while as crab walking was not very fast. “Autumn’ she yelled coming towards me. With some pain in my heart I held up the little black kitten! It was so nice to me! It fell asleep in my grasp even, making a purring noise! Then Carlita moved right past me and picked up the orange cat.  ‘Thank  you for finding Autumn she said kissing the orange one.  ‘Wait if that is Autumn who is this guy or girl?’. Carlita came closer inspected it and said it was a girl while handing me five gold pieces putting them in my pocket with a wink. ‘You earned them girlfriend’ she said.  ‘Okay but whose cat is this? It doesn’t have a collar’. The bloodrager looked at it and pointed out some out how it was somewhat poorly groomed.
‘She might be a stray, why don’t you take her home with you.. if you found her at the docks she might be hungry and  trying to keep herself alive.. it will not be long for a bad sailor would harm her. ‘How did you know she was eating fish’ I asked Carlita. ‘Well she’s a cat.. and you smell like a barrel of fish I just put 1 and 1 together’ she once more winked at me. ‘How did you know it was female then?’ I asked. Carlita winked again and said she might just have a talent or perhaps she met it once or twice..who knows? I am beginning to think Drow have really twitchy eyelids! I looked at the black girl cat kitten. ‘So do you want to come with me?’ I asked it.. It meows really loudly and pressed it’s head against my hand. ‘That seems like a yes, so how are we going to name you then? ‘ I stared at it for a while before I decided. I found it before I found Autumn apparently so I settled on the name Summer. Carlita congratulated me with my first completed quest and told me she would give me a hug..but I should go home to take a bath. That seemed like a good idea. 

So that’s about it my dear diary! I think I will call you Diana by the way! I took Summer home with me and she seemed to like it there! Like just before I got home she like jumped out of my hands and ran towards the home herself..she got in my way a bit as she swirved to the side…so I had to stop and I kinda jump aside into some horse manure..but well I was going to take a bath anyway it did not really matter!  I had a little friend now.. I am less lonely! Oh I forgot to mention that Ynaja healed my flesh that Autumn had scratched away! Otherwise the horse Manure could have easily caused horrible infections that might lead to amputations or weird diseases but no,  so don’t worry about me Diana I am going to be fine!  
Remind me to get a patch of fabric though once I go out to buy Summer a collar tomorrow!
I do need to teach her some manners, she got in my way again and since I not wanted to trip on her I just threw myself to the side and my growing back horns poke a hole in my couch!
I need the patch for that!

I had a nice bath though! I put Summer on my bed and told her to wait for me and she looked at me and meowed in agreement.  Then I filled a tub with some hot water and added some rose petals and scented oils. I first threw a few buckets of water on myself like in the alley behind my house to rinse of the fish.. I hoped Summer would like me after but I felt she would. When I was in the bath I wondered.. Maine shot me down.. hardly.. do I have a chance .. I think she like Rho!   He’s a thief.. so is it true women really like bad boys?! I don’t understand.. maybe I should find a bad person who likes me? Like a ..anti-paladin or a pirate or a corporate executive?! I wonder if someone like that would ever be into me?! At least Carlita was kinda nice to me.. It’s kind of weird though how no important quests show up when Maine is not around and when there is only one left she always gets the last one even if I try… She will still be away tomorrow as the next town is a day’s travel by foot. So I will see if this trend continues! Anyway I should go sleep now.. Summer fell asleep on the middle of the bed and i did not want to distrub her so I guess I will sleep on the floor next to her. I don’t want her to be afraid that I am gone should she wake up! I wonder if Ynaja can heal backpains?!

A Sunny Sunday: The Sunshine Blogger Award

It’s finally time! About a week ago we we nominated for the Sunshine Blogger award. With lots of social stuff I had to attend as some really sore muscles throughout the entire week it took me seven whole days to get to this.  Once more I would like to thank A Girl and her Anime for the nomination. I have handed the questions to reporter Pinkie Cherryblossom who will hold a short interview.

Thank you Pinkie! Amelia  from A Girl And Her Anime came up with these questions so mad props to her! Would you kindly visit her blog? Since I said “Would you Kindly?”  it means you all are going to have to do it! She writes some pretty insightful stuff as well as some fun reviews. She seems like an amazing person that deserves more followers. Then again she might be an alien mastermind coming to earth trying to charm way to an otaku army, you never know. Yet what are the chances that two of those happen to have the exact same idea and even follow each others blog. So nevermind that I am sure she is awesome! Moving on!

The Sunshine Blogger award has some rules which I will post near the end. I’d say most of you by now have seen these post before now anyway so I am sure you know. Let’s get down to these questions Pinkie if you please take a seat I will ask us the questions Amelia came up with. Even though she tagged 11 bloggers the first question she came up with seems to be made JUST for us! So thank you for that one!
Question number one is…..!

If you were a Pokémon, what sort of Pokémon would you be?

I wish I could say I was a Sylveon..It’s all about love and that is really big for me, and with a lot of pink and cute ribbons it is totally my style. It’s a bit of my spirit animal. However my friends always call me Pancham, because it’s a Panda. It has become a meme on how pure my mind is, I never understand sex jokes, I never get inuendo and I am honestly not all that interested in the physical stuff to a point of not at all. To my friends amusement I always seem to miss any lewd moments as well. If we are watching an anime, the moment I get up there will be a risque scene, when I get back the scene is over.  When two friends are making out.. I get distracted by a butterfly passing outside and completely miss it. One night a friend was joking and asking ‘What if Pinkie does see something lewd? Will the universe explode?’ He wanted to put something on his tv but at that exact moment the batteries of his remote control were drained. That’s when I became the ultimate Panda. So my Pokémon would have to reflect that as well. I really do feel like I would be a fairy-type though so lets say I am a regional form Pancham that is a Fairy-Psychic type (A nice counter part to the dark-fightingy type, pangoro grows into)  also to reflect I really like Kawaii stuff but also to play mind games with people.I would have pixilate as an ability.. because I’d love to make normal stuff cute and I could still show my love throughout the move Return that way!
That is a move that deals more damage if the Pokémon loves it’s trainer a lot. If I like you well enough I will fight super hard for you, so it seems like a great fit.

Do  you play video games? If so what have you been playing recently?

Well will not cheese this one and say I have been playing Pokémon Let’s Go, Pokémon Snap and Pokémon Ultra Sun… I do but those are all like stuff I normally talk in this blog about. What I have been playing most recently is Ducktales Remastered. Ducks are some of my favorite animals. When I was just a little girl, I asked my mother what will I be? She sighed and just put on Disney. Ducktales was one of the first TV shows I ever loved. To this day I have fuzzy memories and I ADORE the 2017 remake. Because I was a total dojikko (a clumsy girl)   when I was young, because it would turn out there was something wrong with, I never really liked playing outside. It would always end up with me falling from or into something. If that didn’t happen I would get stuck somewhere. It was stressful. So my parents decided to buy me a NES (Nintendo Entertainment System) with Super Mario Bros 3 and Ducktales as starting games. Mario 3 was nice, but I was in love with Ducktales. It was Shovel Knight, 25 years before Shovel Knight and it was the game that turned me into a gamer. Like a lot of games it has gotten a remake that I played with a friend once (at their place) but now it is being pulled of the market and going away for ever. So shout out to Kurtis for gifting me this one!

What is your favorite colour: Any particular reason why it’s your favorite?

Pinkie’s favorite colour is pink! I bet you didn’t see that one coming if you have ever been to my blog. Pink has a deeper meaning to me though then just being cute. I never grew up very girly, due to my faulty build the other girls and I grew apart, as my lack of grace resulted in me not really liking the stuff they liked and feeling happier with a controller in my hand. I could exert an amount of control over my actions in games I lacked in real life.  So I became a bit of a tomboy/loner/geek with teenage mutant ninja turtle shirts and the likes in an attempt to at least belong somewhere.. like being that girl that is one of the guys but who was never accepted as one either and a lot of bullying ensued .. mostly because I moved so weirdly . Itt took me many years to find that out and just around the time I was finally becoming me around when I was 22. I started to experiment with pink clothes. Around that same time I got very sick, my muscle issues seemed to tax my heart now as well. We didn’t exactly know what was wrong so I had to visit a lot of hospitals At the time I had a pink pyjama and pink bathrobes . In the hospital it’s not that hard for you to feel like just a number or patient X. I wasn’t at one ward each time I was at different places so it even felt more like that. It very much looked like there wasn’t going to be a future for me at all at that time which resulted in a bit of an existential crisis that I would die and no one would remember, that I would be a person that is truly gone straight away. Yet I got a bit better, a medicine was found that helped me greatly.  Doctors a lot more positive began to refer to me by my super pink look, calling me Pinkie. I developed a persona alongside it as a coping mechanism which turned out to be much closer to my actual core self.. but not as afraid and held back by the bullying i received in the past. It represented my repressed self, my true self and ever since that time I connect pink to the strength to be me the freedom to be me.

What is your favorite thing to do during summer?

Sorry about the long answers before this one! Amelia sure picked her questions neatly! There was a lot of stuff to tell.  My favorite thing to do during summer is stroll around on a boulevard on the late evening, the sun warming my muscles, the feeling of a vaction you can have while strolling through a place where everything seems to move just a tiny bit slower than it normally would, seeing that bit of heat distortion way ahead towards your destination. Just by the look of the sky being able to tell that tomorrow is going to be another great day The freedom and the level of comfort are great. Shall I go out with some friends for a drink? Shall I buy that cute purse in the window tomorrow. I love all those things , but that toasty summer stroll where everything is still possible is my favorite moment.

Ghibli is obviously very popular , but what movie do you think is the most overrated?

Honestly? I think all of them are at least a bit overrated. I do like them quite a lot but I do find some of them a bit overly artsy as well. They might impress me more than your average film, they might have the stronger messages behind them but I for one prefer to be entertained .
The Wind rises i saw in a premiere for example. With messages what we should not let technology pass us by and creative choices like having all engines be made by voice effects to make them sound more warm and personal is great. I sit there and nod my head going! Good Show that is impressive. When I watch the second Gurren Laggan movie I am not thinking , wow that’s impressive or  that is such a clever allegory. No when I watch that movie I am shouting at my screen. “WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK WE ARE” , extending my hand to help Giga drill break and in their first movie, when Simon and Kamina Gatai for the first time I am like kicking the floor in a giddy excitement. Ghibli can make me laugh, and it can make me cry but it can never take me on a real roller coaster of emotions. They feel like the Louvre museum of anime. Mad respect to the Louvre.. but when I am in Paris I much rather go to Disneyland

If you could travel back in time, when you travel and why?

Tokyo 1991. The Gameboy has just come out and Satoshi Tajiri will soon talk to Miyamoto about developing the link cable, during which they would talk about transferring insects. A concept that would  lead to development of Pokémon. I plan to go there and steal their pitch! So I can own the Pokémon IP, of course I would still entrust Game Freak with the idea after, but think of all the money I would have and I would be the princess or queen even of Pokémon. Sure I could help the world by altering a historic event but that’s boring!  I am going to be honest, I’d rather be rich than a hero, I deserve some good times as well.

As a the new leader of a country, what is the first law you introduce?

This is a hard one, I could spout some idealistic nonsense that is never going to happen anyway like ‘everyone’ is forced to love each other but this is not enforceable and it would  kill individuality if it works. No I would instead create the ‘my opinion’ law . It’s a harsh one as it would forbid any form of social influencing media from phrasing their opinions as facts.
‘People who can’t play Tracer should be shot … would be an illegal titel for your post. ‘I think people who can’t play Tracer should be shot’  would be fine. A lot of negativity in this world comes from big youtubers saying something is bad, convincing people their is only one correct opinion, if creates conflict and division. When we forbid people to claim their opinions as factual and make them say that this is only their opinion, it is much harsher to cause harm to anyone.  Don’t believe in a non-binary gender system? Saying “there is only males and females is hurtful’ hearing ‘In my opinion gender IS binary’ might be disappointing but is never hurtful. Both offender and offensee can realise there are two sides to this coin. We can learn to respect each others opinions because they are forced to be spoken out as such. A single opinion never has the power to change you, you can however choose to heed the opinion. So gone with the Count Dankula’s in this world and goodbye to “you are stupid and should die”  In my nation you’ll read “I think you are stupid and should die instead’ It already stings less, and over time maybe we can fix this weird ass Political Correct purgatory we are creating for ourselves.  and actually start being ourselves rather than our newly invented emblem or classical stereotype. If we know our enemies are just giving their opinon, we can hug them better.

Have you been reading anything lately?

I’ve been reading the Pokémon Adventures Manga as well as a bit of Is This A Zombie?It’s been a while since I read an actual good book. I’ve been trying to read Dan Brown’s origin but I don’t have a lot of positive things to say about that one. I’ve also been reading the D&D 5th GM manual and player handbook a lot! Those are technically books.  Finally I have been reading all of your blogs, they are all amazing, yours is even a little better than that of my others readers but that is a secret between us two okay?

Tell us about your favourite film

I actually have two. My regular answer to what my favorite movie is would be.  Catch me if you can.   I love the story of the young con-artist pretending to be a pilot, lawyer and doctor. Dicaprio portrays Frank Abagnale perfectly.  Tom Hanks playing the FBI agent who is after him is done exceptionally well, I root for both sides I watch the movie. It’s such a compelling story with a great soundtrack, stellar acting and basically anything a girl can wish for in a good movie. It’s definitely my favorite good movie and if you haven’t seen it yet you should definitely check it out.

My REAL favourite movie however would have to be Tommy Wisseau’s the room. The BEST worst movie ever. It is such a cringeworthy watch each time, yet it has become so much more than just a film to me.  I crossplayed Wiseau, I met people because of the movie, I went to special theaters, I carry plastic spoons when I see it. Whenever I see a small dog I go “hi doggie” even if I actually speak dutch. It gave us jokes inside our group of friends. We are even considering organising “tommy con’ It will not be an actual convention, it will just be fans of the movie gathering in a park.. dressed in a suit, tossing american footballs around. For those who don’t know what the Room is? The Room tells the story about Johny, and all American man (with a bit of an accent) who gets cheated on by his wife when his promotion falls trough. There are some other plothooks like a mother in law with cancer, which is never addressed, a  young boys issues with drugs, which isn’t really addressed or rounded out, characters appearing and vanishing from thin air… and random people who don’t live there having sex on the couch. There is a lot of spoons hidden in the movie as well as well as tossing the football. it is atrociously bad and almost unwatchable and I love every minute of my own.. and the friends I watch it with suffering.  James Franco made a movie about how bad this movie is called the disaster artist and that one was just as great.  All the stories surrounding The Room, make it something greater.

Put your music on shuffle. What are the first three songs to play?

My father was a musician and he always tried to force his music onto me, I never rebelled much as a teen, but I kinda rebelled to music in general,. Now I mostly listen weeaboo music or geek music. I never play any pop music or anything.  So I will just share the last tracks I listened trough videos.   

And one bonus song! Because it started playing right after and I felt bad in leaving this one off!

If you were to suggest an anime I had to watch, what would you recommend?

Way too known to be a proper suggestion would be Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann, it’s my favorite anime ever by a landslide. A giga drill breaker caused landslide, that one is just so friggin amazing I have to actively try not to soil myself in excitement. However because it’s that amazing I think everyone in the world already knows about it and follow the Gospel of Kamina and Simon so the thing I am gonna recommend is…..
Selector Infected Wixoss.

A slightly more obscure 2014 anime about cute girls battling with cards to get their wish granted.  If you win 3 card battles you get your wish granted, if you lose 3 you’ll lose your wish forever as well as the little buddy that dwells inside your main card.Yet no one knows the true and dark secrets about this card battle game. The anime starts out incredibly slow but once the story starts rolling you have an extremely dark story that brings Madoka and Yu-gi-oh together  in a grim tale. Do not expect a happily ever after when you start this one because this goes in the shadows, this isn’t cute girls playing a children’s card game… this is some serious doodoo. The characters are nice and though nothing to special they work and you pelted with a million of them . If you like Madoka, and if you like to a slower moving story filled with intrigue and mystery, with the pay off mostly in the later half of the series, then this is a series  you should watch.

The Nominees!

Now I have to nominated 11 others bloggers to answer my questions and hand them this award. Honestly tracking down he wants a nomination or who has been nominated has become way to much work so I just picked those who I really want to ask these questions  too and those who deserve a little sunshine. And the Nominees are!

I know this is 12 but I am pretty sure Mallow or someone on this list went on a hiatus. so it should be fine! Congrats guys! You have been nice for me, provided me some neat content, impressed me or all! of the above!

The Rules

Now there are 5 rules , with me completely ignoring one because I do promoting my stuff on others blogs.

Interview with Straw Hat Pikachu

Hey there my little monsters, today Pokémon Go launched a special event.
Rather than report to you that the “One Piece” Pikachu is catchable in go, I put on my own straw hat  and went on a cruise through town to catch one. I interviewed it and now here WE ARE.

Pinkie: ‘Well hi there little one, could you introduce yourself to us?’
SH-Pikachu: ‘I am Straw Hat Pikachu, me and my Nakama ,that is like our word for friends and teammates, boarded Pokémon Go today. ‘

Staw Hat Pikachu: Available from 22-7 untill 29-7


Pinkie: ‘Mind if I call you SH..it’s a bit faster? So SH what makes you so special’
SH-Pikachu: ‘Well I am a Pikachu with a special hat on..so that already makes me kind of special right?’
Pinkie: ‘Not really, your kind kinda cosplays a lot, you guys have more hats than I have shoes, and that’s saying something.’
SH-Pikachu: ‘Uhm well , instead of being your Pokémon I will be your Nakama, and with my launch you can wear a matching cap, that’s in the Go style shop’
Pinkie: ‘Well I am a sucker for matching outfits, so you got me there, but tell me , would it not have been cuter if Niantic chose to use Aipom for this event?
SH-Pikachu: I’m Pikachu I get all the hats, also why would they give it to Aipom, I am the mascot here.

Channel Luffy with this classy Styleshop Item..or protect yourself from the sun…whichever….

Pinkie: ‘Of course you are but I mean MONKEY D Luffy!? Kinda would have made sense.. it also has a somewhat stretchy tail hand thingies..so It would have made a lot of sense and diversified the game a bit. I have a LOT of versions of you.
SH-Pikachu: ‘Wait i am based on that stretchy pirate bloke? I thought this hat was just to protect me from the hot summer sun.
Pinkie: ‘No No, that’s Sun-Hat Pikachu that’s also a thing’
SH-Pikachu: ‘Well Arrrr then, time to plunder your booty’
Pinkie: ‘Thief is not in your moveset, so there will be no plunderin from you. Anyways, how long can we find you?’
SH-Pikachu: ‘Me and me mates will be here until 1PM on the 29th , then we shall hoist the anchor, keelhaul those who have not caught one and sail further down the Grand Line again.
Pinkie: ‘That means my dear reader that you have seven days to catch yourself a stretchy pirate Pikachu, speaking of which will there be anything else special about this event.
SH-Pikachu: ‘Nay Lass, except for the hat, and the hatted chu’s  that may be as shiny and valuable as One Piece itself, there is nothing to shiver your timbers.
Pinkie: ‘You realise Luffy doesn’t talk like that right..also.. maybe you should tell the people about the stuf in Japan.’
SH-Pikachu: ‘Awww… but I am already kind of boring if I dont talk like a pirate what else do I have?! Well should any of your three or so readers be in Japan, in the Kumamoto Prefecture , the statues of Luffy there, now will function as a Pokéstop. Doesnt that sound exciting.


Pinkie: ‘It does not’
SH-Pikachu: ‘Yeah you are right it really doesn’t’
Pinkie: ‘Anyway, I never asked, howcome you can talk? Did you eat the human human fruit or the Hito Hito no Mi, as the Japanese call it?
SH-Pikachu: ‘No, you are just talking to imaginary creatures again!’
Pinkie: ‘Frizzlesticks, I thought I got rid of my insanity’
SH-Pikachu: It’s okay, I can offer electroshock therapy

Did you manage to catch your own little Straw Hat? Did you like this cross over event?
Let me know in the comments and make my day by leaving a like, but most of all stay pink!
