Panel 1: Jehanne (my Pokémon Legends Z-A character) tries to leave the nightly Battle Zone during the introductory scene. She's looking over her shoulder at Urbain, who's standing in the distance and yelling. Their dialogue box says "Urbain: Not that way!" Panel 2: Jehanne crouches down to pick up a Pokéball with an item in it, during the day. She's stopped by Urbain's waving. Their dialogue box says "Urbain: Hey! We're heading to the Looker Bureau, remember?" Panel 3: Jehanne's trying to catch a shiny Fletchling during the late afternoon. She looks desperately over her shoulder, as from offscreen, Urbain's dialogue box says: "Urbain: Something's happening at Rouge Plaza! Come check it out!"

Panel 1: Jehanne (my Pokémon Legends Z-A character) is asleep in her room at Hotel Z. She's got a cute sleep shirt with a Dedenne on it, bags under her eyes, and everything is tinted purple. Panel 2: Her sleep is disturbed by a blonde-and-peach-tinted series of knocks at her door. Panel 3: Jehanne's eyes fly open as Urbain's dialogue box appears. "Urbain: Hey. Sorry," Panel 4: She's furious and about to glare a hole through Urbain' dialogue box as it continues. "Urbain: "I know I said you should sleep, but can we talk?"

I call this comic "Purgatutorial."

A drawing of Eternal Flower Floette. She’s smiling gently at the viewer. It’s captioned “Don’t cross me, bitch ❤️I’ll fucking kill you ❤️” against a blue textued background.

So, uh. Eternal Flower Floette, huh

A single green Zygarde cell (squishy green blob Pokémon) looks up at the viewer. It's got a red polka-dotted bindle and a sign that says "GOING 2 LUMIOSE," but the "S" in "LUMIOSE" is written backwards so it looks like a "Z."

Guess who's been playing Pokémon Legends ZA and has been doodling notes? (It's me)

Ffffuuuuck. ACAB, unfortunately, also applies to Chopper. Or should we call him Copper?

A young man once performed a forbidden rite and called forth a demon. He sought to make an unholy pact. "I want to sing like an angel," he told the creature. "I want to be a household name." "This kind of power comes with a price," said the demon. "Name it," said the man. The demon's mouth split open, revealing rows of sharp, crooked teeth, in what could charitably be called a smile. "Sing and record every Christmas song."

The man blinked. He has been ready to wager his soul. "Every Christmas song?" "Every one currently known to your people." The demon shrugged. "There are some older than 'O Come Emmanuel,'" and here he grimaced as though the name hurt, "but I'm not a total monster." This was too easy, but the man's want for fame was so great that he made the pact with no regrets. As the demon promised, the man sung with the sweetest voice and perfect pitch. It wasn't long before he was famous, particularly for his repertoire of Christmas songs. The man had discovered that if he went too long without recording a Christmas song, his voice would falter and crack. So he went down the list of every song he could find. As long as he fulfilled his end of the bargain, he would be famous forever. Until he reached "Santa, Baby."

The blood drained from his face as he scanned the lyrics. "Santa Baby?" he stammered. "No, I... I can't do this. It's a lady song." The demon's laughter echoed in the back of his head. "It'll make me sound a little gay!" he cried. The laughter would not stop. The man tried to put it off. He sung other songs, dropped another album. But little by little, his voice ebbed. When he could no longer hold a note without cracking, he realized the extent of the demon's cruelty. Either he could record a song that made him sound a little gay, or he could lose it all. There had to be a way out.

Hello, Bluesky, it's time for the annual retelling of the Christmas Fable I wrote back in 2017 on twitter.

(1/2)

A black, white, and yellow drawing of a Golden Retriever in the Power Rangers Samurai Yellow uniform. The dog is holding a Samurai Saber in her mouth and slashing with it. The background has the kanji for "earth" in yellow.

A pen doodle of the Red Mystic Force Power Ranger, doing the "horns" gesture, while riding a horse, which is wearing Sock 'Em Boppers on its front hooves, and balancing on a motorcycle labeled "Nick." The Power Ranger and horse are sparkling. People off-screen say "WOW NICK IS SO COOL"

A pen doodle of Wes Collins and Jen Scotts from Power Rangers Wild Force, Episode 24 and 25, "Reinforcements from the Future." Jen is in her tactical outfit, and holding up Wes in his Silver Guardians uniform. Wes is swooning, blushing, and saying "ooh Miss Jen ooh." Jen is blushing too.

A sketch of Fran from Power Rangers Jungle Fury. She's wearing Lily's Yellow Solar Morpher sunglasses and bracing for action. A note says "fist held wrong."

Today, I'm thankful for @morphingrid.bsky.social ! It's where Jake and Josh talk about Power Rangers, wrestling, video games, outfits, and pitch "what if this Power Ranger was secretly a dog turned into a human?"

Here's some fanart I've made over the years!

The title screen for Digimon Story: Time Stranger. A human-eye level POV-ish shot of a narrow street in some sorta blocky greenish digi-city.

aight, time to liveblog the Digimon Story: Time Stranger demo

“John dies at the end”? Yeah, buddy, we all do. He ain’t special 😤

my has wife asked me to stop my running Werner Herzog commentary during our Donkey Kong Bananza playthru

@kamehouseparty.bsky.social do I have to play the first Aisle Fight to understand what’s going on in Aisle Fight 2?

@kamehouseparty.bsky.social boys, this latest episode may be your magnum opus! You should use that phone call between Vegeta and Carl Weezer and Meatwad to promote the show! Also idk what this says about me that I know that Jimmy Newtron’s mom’s first name is Judith, but I do… anyway keep fighting!

@kamehouseparty.bsky.social hey so y’all have mentioned on the podcast finding *ehem* magazines in the woods as kids, and the anime Summer Pockets’ latest episode showed a couple characters doing just that. Guess it’s super universal if it also happens in Japan lol

@podofgreed.kaiba.online can’t believe it’s almost the end of 5D’s and no one has referenced the song “Stay (I Missed You)” by Lisa Loeb. It’s all I hear in my head whenever Yusei is mentioned.

Ohhh now I get the rebrand!

Got it

So it’s just hands? That’s the only thing that has a slider? lol that’s so silly I love it

I'm Mikado in episode 8 of Ranma 1/2! Miyano Mamoru is my favorite seiyuu, so to have folks compare my new voice to him is a dream! Here's hoping I launch into my long-awaited bishounen arc. 😂

Found my new favorite Christmas decoration at a thrift store and I love the crazy cryptic vibes of this pic. The location, the flash, the empty space, the weirdly long Pumpkin, how her foot makes it look like she has balls

Guess what! Today is Sophie's birthday!!
