It's been a while Keeping a fair amount of my blogging bandwidth (a personal metric, not a data one) taken up by drawing pokemon every day and then getting incredibly sick, I've noticed that some of my more prominent "post archetypes" if you will have fallen by the wayside. Just at a casual glance, it's been a...
In which I challenge myself to draw a pokemon every day until I stop We got a doozy today. I'm still recovering from long covid and I've also been dealing with a huge work project that involved some weekend work and long nights and I'm happy to say that not only is that done (and I'm taking a 5 day weekend around...
Dude, so I spend an inordinate amount of time thinking about giant monsters. I was introduced to the Showa-era dubbed Godzilla films ("GODZILLER!") very young by my older brother and my cousin and that canon event permanently adjusted my brain chemistry so that a radioactive lizard created as a metaphor for the...
In which I challenge myself to draw a pokemon every day until I stop I get that I'm still sick and very busy with work but some days go by where I'm like "shit I have 4 pokemon on my camera's card and I need to get them out of therrrrrre" Anyway - these were all RNG over the last 5 days.

Birdchosting to the max, my friends This morning while I was taking out my AM litter haul (living with this many cats you do multiple empties per day) I heard more birdsong than usual, and it sounded a little distressed. Upon closer inspection: They were flomping around on the ground violently and I was really...
In which I challenge myself to draw a pokemon every day until I stop Tues 04/28/2026 - Ninjask Man, I love a bug in a sentai mask. I get that a lot of sentai masks are like, bug adjacent anyway but it's just cool. Never had one of these in a game but I'll def be on the lookout in titles where they're present. Weds...
In which I challenge myself to draw a pokemon every day until I stop Ok we're back to it (the posting) - I haven't decided what I'm going to draw for today's (Tuesday) but since I have a kind of chaotic day due to work I figured I should get the last weeks worth of dexes up. Please enjoy some faithful...
In which I challenge myself to draw a pokemon every day until I stop Alright alright catching up. Sun 04/19/2026 - Jumpluff The first time I ever heard anything about this pokemon was in the Great Gundam Project episode (189, a benefit of them doing this numerical bit is that it's easy to find) where Jackson tries...
Here's some thoughts about how Gundam 00 adapted as a live performance is better than it has any right to be For some backstory, a few months ago I'd been doing a re-watch of 2007's Mobile Suit Gundam 00 with my kids; for one of them it's a favorite entry in the franchise but for the other it's a Gundam series they...
