  • Tasty. Funrelated Fact: I put a small foil plate on one of my cats' head earlier, earning laughs all round from the family. I'm not being racist, but it did look like he was wearing one of those caps that Jewish men (stereotypically, and in my experience) wear.

    KIND OF YARLY.
    You know, Rusinka is actually turning out pretty well. CH and TLD gave out a vibe of being rushed and hasty, but I'm not getting that from this. We must be doing something right, so you get a cookie for being right about us having off-days, then picking right back up thereafter.

    ...Though I am thinking of either adding 'DX' to the titles of MT, CH and TLD, or redoing them and adding 'Redux' to the titles instead. It'd be a lot of work, but if we could be able to redo a bad one on a 'good day', we might be able to Tipp-Ex our 'off-days' from the record. Of course, that's nothing more than a flight of fancy.
    Just don't forget that she won't appear until they're on the airship of still-indeterminate origin. I guess the mooks would be slightly-more-sentient-than-in-Sonic-Heroes Egg Pawns.

    Um...yay, more laser swords. Also, Blazia's official Cyrillic transcription: Блацйя. Therefore also yay.
    Of course, combine that with what Midnight said at the end of Collision, and that would actually place Tsukimi in July. BUT I HAVE AN ANSWER TO THAT. It's Blazian Tsukimi. It happens four times a year- once at the height of each season. But the Autumn Tsukimi is the main one. It's like the Christmas of Autumn, but without the presents.

    ...As if you care about my selfless provision of supplementary material to further enrich your experience of the Neptune Universe.
    Also, YAY BLAZIAN TSUKIMI REFERENCE!

    Fun Fact Level Not-Sure-If-Gusta: Not only was Rex taken to Fernberg when he was one, but he was also conceived in Fernberg, on the night of an earlier Tsukimi Festival.
    I take it you don't really care. YAY ACCURATE PREDICTIONS.

    Also, courtesy of Jonah: as far as I'm aware, the first proper Title Drop of the entire TEE franchise! Because the ones in CH and RS were just too unavoidable to count.
    Actually, that reminds me- unless I'm mistaken, I have at least one character to represent each of the 8 points of the Kinsey Scale. Fascinating, no? No? OH OKAYZ.

    YARLY.
    Shut up. ...On second thoughts, whatever. HM OKAYZ.

    DOH YOU MISSED for not telling me until now.

    Fair enough. But until I get her to okay the idea, IYF is still your responsibility. TL and TEM likewise, except Izzy's not going to 'buy out' your roles in them.
    From that art, I'd have to think the reverse.
    And I shall refer to them as Ebony and Ivory for now. In the same way that I obstinately refer to the BW pair as Blair and Whitlea.

    I haven't seen my teams in quite some time, so I couldn't possibly comment. However, my offer of exchanging FCs stands.

    And while I remember: since you're so keen to let IYF die, I've begun considering asking Izzy to write your parts instead (i.e. letting her commandeer Wes and Jade for the length of that spin-off). Objections?
    Well, I haven't really seen much of them, but from what I have seen: well-designed.

    I just never train other pokémon directly without Exp. Shares, and since that starts serving me well as my ace gets more powerful, I just never learn my lesson, since the Exp. Share usually pops up, on average, around or before the 4th Gym, so I power through the Gym with my only decent pokémon, and one or two of my lesser ones feel some of the benefits from it. This keeps up until I reach the Elite Four, by which time everything's fine. Yay, no planning involved.
    On White, I second-guessed that I'd struggle with Elesa (you know, since my only good pokémon would be Jens, a then-Dewott), so I traded a Boldore over from Black, not knowing that trading makes it evolve. So Elesa got blasted into next week. By total accident.
    Fun fact: if there had just been a third version to BW, I would have chosen Tepig. But since there's B2 and W2, I'm just going to carry Craig/Jared and Myfanwy/Jens over.

    It took me two attempts, and I ragequitted on the first one when Jared got OHKO'd by That One Move. And I suck at team-based Gyms- especially earlier on in the game- since the only time I raise pokémon other than my starter is when I have an Exp. Share or five, so the rest of my team were just low-level Dex-fillers. They were just to stall time. Bah.
    ...But Mitney's Whiltank...cannot be surpassed. That took me several attempts in HG. With a corresponding number of ragequits.
    Ah, Burgh. A funny story. I struggled against him in Black until I got the Liberty Garden Victini, whose Fire-typing made Burgh into a joke, and on White, he didn't give me any trouble at all. Do bear in mind, of course, that in Black, I had Jared (who was a Servine at the time) and in White, I had Jens (then a Dewott).

    In all honesty, though, Lenora's Watchog gave me more trouble than Burgh's anything.
    The only thing to bear in mind is that the Czarina, like the Czar, speaks Russian much more often than English. And, as is the point of the story, Anastasiya doesn't speak English at all. In any case, are we good to start?
    You're quite welcome.

    Alright, then, let's get Rusinka set up. We shall open with a royal meeting between Russia's current Czar and Czarina (since Neptune Russia still has a royal family, though, unlike Blazia, their main government is like it is in this world) and their daughter Anastasiya, and the Blazian royals, and said meeting would just be drawing to a close, so royal tour arrangements would be being made. To clarify further: said meeting would take place within the Blaze Palace, and I guess Midnight could cameo as a translator. So here's the thing: how many character are you going to call, given that the Czar and Czarina are kind of one-off cameo characters, and Anastasiya will be recurring almost throughout?
    ...You know, that's exactly what I needed to hear. Thanks. Thought I'd say that ITS was better-planned than MT. The pessimist would say that MT marked a decline in the series. The optimist retorts, "Fuck off, we're still going strong."

    I...guess we'll just stick to the established series order, then- except for one detail. I want to swap PWF and PiC over, because I think PWF would make a better Triton-side series finale than PiC.
    It's an aggravating situation. I want to do Rusinka, because it seems to be the only thing you give a damn about right now, ergo any alternative would just make the final result seem forced. However, I want to do PiC, because it's the most thoroughly-planned. However, clearly, you don't give a crap about it. I do wonder whether we're flogging a dead horse with ATEE, given that, of the 4 episodes so far, only 2 of them turned out decent. I don't want to think that, by any stretch of the imagination, but...well, suffice to say, I'm worried.
    I only have that impression of you because that's what you told me to think. And it kind of holds true.

    The problem, as I've pointed out, though, is I'm afraid that if Rusinka doesn't get enough planning done, it'll bomb just like CH and TLD did, as did MT before them. Frankly, at the rate ATEE is going, I'm also afraid the entire series might tank altogether. As for the spin-offs...well, if you posted in them more, there would be more to be interested in.
