I would have been so tilted if I lost this match by a sleep tactic on a 1v1 Sylveon fight. #Pokémon #PokémonChampions

So I finished season 3 of JJK…. What do I do now?

BenderMerk (Knowledge Seeker) @bendermerk.bsky.social · 12/08/2026

I had been gatekeeping JJK from myself for so long thinking I wouldn’t really enjoy it. Well after a friend had me watch the movie I’ve now binged season 1 and 2. Officially ready for the Culling Game #JJK

Never thought I’d see the day the right would give up 2A. Always thought that would be a “when hell freezes over” type of thing. Well there certainly is enough 🧊 for that

I won #FFXIV yesterday 😂 A year and a week after starting this adventure I took my first steps into Dawntrail. Even more importantly I got a freaking tank!!!

Also, the fact they're scheduling trailers akin to what they do with main series rather than just drop them like other spin-off truly shows how much faith they have in this game. Pokémon Pokopia is going to be huge. Mark my words

Come one, come all to my Doodlethon. I will be celebrating one year of being a twitch affiliate by holding a doodlethon. This means art, giveaways and raising money for my friend @tealaine.bsky.social who needs funds after a recent pet loss. More information on the stream on Comments.

Took a car trip 10 hours from Ohio down to Atlanta for an official Beyblade X tournament and all I got was a first round loss and a sunburn. 10/10 had a great time. Got to cheer on some friends with better results and meet some cool people.

Stream 7 of the BD Nuzlocke was a successful night with the clearing of Gyms 6 and 7 while not losing any Pokémon. Snorlax aka “The Boulder” put in the work! Was honored to be raided by the lovely friends @bunnihaj.bsky.social and @qunquat.bsky.social 💕 We raided out to @cierravera.bsky.social

Tonight I finished Heavensward in FFXIV. This game has been such a blessing the last 5ish months and I couldn’t have done it without the help of some great friends. @tiktwotail.bsky.social @bunnihaj.bsky.social @antinasart.bsky.social plus more I can’t tag

The first half of Season 2 of Vinland Saga felt slow and hurt my interest in it. Came back around to finish it and boy did it pay off. The last 5-6 episodes were so good
