Vitriol, anguish, and sorrow are powerful motivators to produce profound art. The problem is that our society is structured in such a way to deny me any time to express those feelings through my art. So my brain is just a whirling vortex of violent creative impulses building like a pressure cooker.

Some favorite teams throughout the generations! What are some of yours?

Pearl and Platinum were my first true games and by far the ones I had spent the most time in, but it actually took me years to come back and do a proper playthrough with a proper team instead of "Starter, Staraptor, Legendary." This was I believe the first time I nicknamed my team, though there was no theme. Some highlights: Forrest the Torterra ended up sweeping E4 Flint, something I only tried as a joke. People rag on Luxray for being a physical electric type with only Spark but honestly? Intimidate and STAB Thunderbolt take care of all the Gyarados's you need. Nova the Togekiss was appropriately the star of the team, even with her abysmal Jolly Nature. Togekiss just does whatever you need it to do. Gastrodon didn't do much until evolving but once she did she was the go-to-Galactic grunt beater. Mandy the Scizor made Candice and Lucien almost trivial, and Yuki the Froslass did her job of OHKOing Garchomp. I also liked that this team, if you squint, parallelled my rival's a bit.

I chose White 2 over Black 2 mainly for that early Braviary and I didn't even end up using him. I did for a little, but later I ran into a rustling grass Altaria, and since I'd never used one I thought I'd try it out. She ended up sweeping Drayden, most of Ghetsis, and most of Iris.

This time there was a theme, if you couldn't tell by the names, and that dictated most of the members of the team. Serperior, Electivire and Jellicent were a given. Pinsir was a nice surprise, and Erza the Bisharp ended up replacing Gajeel the Aggron who just wasn't pulling his weight.

I'll admit, I went into Legends Z-A with the lowest expectations. And I was delighted to be wrong.

I immediately named Chikorita Annette, but my Sassy "Claude" of a Froakie convinced me to go full Fire Emblem for the rest of the team.

I REALLY wanted to get an Alpha Tyrunt so I could have a biblically accurate Tyrantrum, but the RNG gods said no, and so, I took the one female and named her Edelgard to honor her short-queen status. This made naming Charizard Ferdinand very easy. Dragonite became Mercedes because you can't have Annette without Mercie.

Marianne just seemed fitting for Froslass, that's all.

Possibly my favorite team from my favorite playthrough, ever! Part of that is almost definitely because Moon was a much-needed pick-me-up after the 2016 election, but also because I just felt extra attached to these guys and their region. 5/6 of them have special stipulations for obtaining them, so catching them felt like its own mini adventure. Rowlet of course has the iconic starter cutscene; Pikachu and female Salandit are rare encounters; Jangmo-o doesn't show up until near the finale; and I don't think I need to explain Mareanie. Sandshrew was the only one with a mundane encounter, but paradoxically, that made him the odd one out.

I especially loved giving them their own Z-crystals; it really gave the battles an anime feel to them. While Sun and Moon are now sadly infamous for the amount of cutscenes, they mostly don't bother me (the trainer school can rot in hell)

This was the first team I had a set theme for the nicknames, though I don't remember why said theme was "Greek." Perhaps Decidueye brought to mind both Athena and Artemis.

I almost added Lunala to the team for the Elite 4, but I just liked everyone too much to box them.

It's sad when something bad happens to you. It's you that has to pay with your mental health, negative impact to your research, due diligence in reporting, and potentially, resigning out of fear of retaliation. Workplace misconduct ruins careers and lives, especially for young women.

So For years I assumed Torterra's shafting was due to a changing of hands in the DP writer's room. That's all that made sense But after some basic research, turns out nope! These 3 episodes were all written by the same guy Well nice to confirm that at least one writer DID hate this poor turtle

We talk a lot about how you should live the kind of life that doesn't have the world applauding your demise, and with good reason. But today's a good example as to how to lead your life so that you're celebrated. Dolly left an unmistakably positive mark on the world. May her memory be a blessing.

I did some touching up to my adult Rebecca design! #MezArt #Yugioh

An adult Rebecca Hawkins, from Yugioh Duel Monsters, in her 20's. She's wearing a dark blue open suit jacket and a matching skirt, with a light teal blouse beneath, with a pink scarf tied together in front.

Her hair has large, choppy bangs covering part of her face, and flows down to the middle of her back. She's wearing glasses with pink half-frames. She's posing stylishly, lips parted in a very slight grin.

Ash acquires his Pidove when he and Iris being chased by a Scolipede lead to them accidentally destroying her nest. She attacked them in a blind fury before immediately forgetting why she was angry at them in the first place. #MezArt

A redraw of Peter and Ernie the Giant Chicken, having beaten each other bloody, made into Ash from Black/White and a Pidove.

I wanted to get some practice drawing Latias not-so-stiff, as their character model after is. This is a living, moving thing! #MezArt #Pokemon #Latias

A Latias hovering in the cloudy skies, near sunset. The orange glow of the sun casts the front of her body in shadows. She's arched back mid-flight, with her wings jutted up and out at an angle, her tailfins are leaning forward, and her actual tail is curved back. Her neck is craned forward, and her gaze is intense. She's raising both of her arms in a cautious, battle-ready stance. Latias is wearing a Latiasite on a metal ring, on the middle claw of her left paw.
