Fave Pokepatterns Vol. II, or Dumb Fabric

Nothin' but Pokemon so far this year! So I dig most of the patterns in this shockingly unexpected set, and had ranked both halves as best I could. There's no clear favorite or top six or anything as in the first set (where Weepinbell won!) But these rock the hardest...

  1. I don't really wanna turn this blog into a diary for random crap like this, so...more comments? Sure. Just somewhere other than the hard drive...
    But I can't believe my mom & I just had the following conversation.

    "Ma, where's the foam soap from the green bathroom? I'm pretty sure it wasn't close enough to empty to be gone already."
    "It was empty, I recycled it."
    "I doubt that."
    "It was making noise, sucking air, it was empty."
    "I'm SURE it wasn't."
    "It's gone, don't go in there, there's yucky stuff. It was empty."
    *easily retrieves & washes bottle* "It's not. There's plenty on the bottom. I'm gonna prove it and show that you're a liar."
    "How dare you call me a liar!"
    *presses pump* "Wow, so empty. Look at all that emptiness foaming up in my hand."
    "I'm not even looking."
    "Yes, shut your eyes and refuse to see the evidence right in front of your face. How very you. Undeniable proof, it's not empty. If you have some weird hangup about using it when it's this low, fine, but give it to me. I'LL throw them away. Otherwise all you're doing is wasting money and a whole bunch of washes with perfectly good soap. Unfortunately this stupid little thing confirms I can't trust you. You'd lie to your own daughter for the stupidest reason imaginable, because you have a bizarre obsession with throwing out shit that shouldn't be thrown away. Everything on my missing list that I suspect you got rid of and will deny for the rest of eternity--why should I believe the denials?"

    She drives me crazy. x_X

  2. *commence another unrelated rant* Fuckfaces. If I wanted to get stuck on the fucking phone for Bob knows how long, why have I been conveniently writing to you?? What can be done over the phone that can’t be done via email/DM???? WHY do companies constantly try to get you to fucking call them??!!??!!?? And why do there always need to be multiple sucky, time-wasting options when there could just be one of everything that does its job perfectly??!!?? And goddammit earbuds suck. Haven’t found a pair yet that’s comfortable or stays in. What else sucks? (Everything/damn near everyone/this world!) WIRES‼️ The fact that any object at any moment can & will vanish into oblivion—rendering existence meaningless & life pointless‼️ Blu-ray players!‼️ “Top-quality” brand-new one, same as the old—turns to pure static  guaranteed. Bring back ๐Ÿ“ผ, they never failed me. ๐Ÿ˜ฉ๐Ÿ”ซ This world, is just...more trouble than it’s worth

  3. Since I've no maternal instinct, hopefully "cool/fun aunt" will suit me better (though of course there will still have to be the "DON'T TOUCH ANY OF MY SHIT" rule...)

  4. Man, there really are Lucy quotes for every shituation. xD *dishwasher breaks* "LOOK WHAT HAPPENED TO *YOUR* WASHING MACHINE!" "Ma, you want me to go in on that boring practical gift, or is there something else you'd like...? 'I wanted a toaster!' 'Well, Fred told me that, but I couldn't beLIEVE you could be that dull!'"
    And then for Father's Day...it's a power-washer. Which he'll probably enzhoy. Called it a weedwhacker. "Well, I knew it was a yardwork thing...it whacks, it washes, it does something with a w...I like whackin', so I went with that one..."

  6. These comments are handy. x-3 And it is disguuuusssting that I can't find the "I like the beach! J'aime la plage!" song from a middle-school French-class video...seems like the type of thing you'd be able to find...like the educational marine-life tape with the catchy-ass theme song: "Underwater world, it's a place full of beauty and wonders, like you've never seen; underwater world, full of fantastic shapes and colors--ooh, it's like a dream!" Omfg, I cannot believe that one. And everything else from "ye olde nostalgic rambles" and beyond that's unfindable...;;

  7. Aw, I guess I never paid enough attention of the Thumbelina credits. Glad to see the Beetle got his wings back, Ms. Fieldmouse married Mr. Mole, and Grundel fell in love with a female toad. x-3

  9. And yanno..ya finally shave and can hypothetically wear all your nightgowns & short/capri pjs, but ofc it's almost always so freakin' freezing here that you still need sweaters/dusters/robes/thick socks/legwarmers/whatever...`-` Like, the a/c just blasts until it's too frigid to even move...why isn't its purpose to CONDITION THE AIR to a comfortable state? Why just because it gets hot outside does it think that going to the extreme opposite is desirable?

  15. FUN FACTS ^u^  ️
    -bodies are thoroughly repulsive and stupid and I wish we didn’t need to be trapped in ‘em 
    -sleeping is a waste of time, eating is a waste of time & dough; we should only have to do them on occasion if desired purely for fun
    -obviously I have a particularly tremendous appreciation for physical beauty but even that would be infinitely better if made of, y’know, nice shiny plastic or summat 
    -I could occupy myself without being so much as spoken to for multiple eternities and do not remember what boredom feels like

  16. Just came across this whilst fetching a face from Emojipedia cuz I couldn't find it on Twatter.
    https://blog.emojipedia.org/217-new-emojis-in-final-list-for-2021/

    a) It's so few...where are my cassette, lime, curly redhead, etc.? So many useless cluttery/redundant ones could be replaced.
    b) THE FIERY HEART OF THE LORD OF LIGHT OMGGGGG
    c) Bearded ladies be lookin' like Jesus LOL
    d) YAY DAD, the black-bearded man (or perhaps his yellow Simpson self)
    e) The hell is the difference between "man" and "person?" It's just confusing. "Man" is just a narrower bearded face.
    f) Preview of 2022 candidates...vulture, raven/crow, bubbles, lily pad, salute, saucepan, unknown hand gesture. Hm. Well I can dig most of those.

  17. Dear Bloggary, Need to vent! Because red-eyed, white-hot flaming fury and incandescent rage are my dominant emotions! Everything in the universe finds ways of being total bullshit and thus pissing me off! I feel a murderous rampage coming on...!
    Insurance is a bullshit fucking crock scheme. Companies should not exist to rob people constantly for nothing. They just make you WANT to have an accident/emergency to make it worthwhile. Otherwise you're just paying them instead of only paying for stuff when & if you need it, as logic would dictate. Whoever came up with the notion should be skinned alive.
    Also, the local ShopRite is run and staffed by imbeciles. They neglect to give you $50 worth of your order and you have to spend an absurd amount of time calling them over and over to reiterate the issue, being totally dumped by four separate worthless assholes including the fucking manager, until you FINALLY get the one helpful lady in the damned place.
    Could go on about other bullshit, but ehh.

    ma: every time i sing my little song the dogs start howling.
    me: like in pain, or singing along?

  18. Dear blog-comment-diary: *singing Sweet Adeline a la Lucy & the gang* ...Not my niece probably getting called Harper when almost-literal tons of pretty names like Adeline are staring my friggin brother & sis-in-law directly in the face...  Not that he has great taste himself, but it seems clear he’s just leaving everything up to her as usual. “Let’s have a kid, we can just dump her in daycare all day...” What’s the point of becoming a parent when you’re as utterly disinterested as she is? I of all people can totally understand wanting to spend minimal time with them, but the current two are the way they are because of your shitty-ass parenting in the first place, and anyway that’s why I’m self-aware enough not to be a mother...easiest thing in the world, trust me...

    1. I think I sometimes kinda conflated Between the Lions with The Lionhearts, hosts of my MGM sing-along video. xD Even though one was puppets and the other traditional animation.

    2. And whoops, I think I was kinda mixing up Tutu from Little Bear with the Chinese Crested from Sagwa.

    3. Yes, of course, CM+PI were in TLC's Ready Set Learn, as I explicitly recalled. And then questioned. And then confirmed. 8''D Knew it was bayou animals and then puppets with a skeleton-bird character on TLC. xD Took me forever to find Prof. Iris, my fave, but it was instant recognition and remembrance.

  20. Omg. Very exciting day. c-x Came down to find my old doodled-all-over, personalized ruler on the dining room table--the one where I naturally wrote "rules!" after my name. No idea why it was left out. Found the two Milky ways I forgot I'd hidden under the few remaining Twizzlers in the bowl fulla Snickers. Fillup agrees that the Midnight Milky Ways are the best in the bunch; nothin' wrong with Snickers, they're just kinda basic and were overpopulated in the bag. Like peanuts in the mixed nuts. The best things went first--hadda have my daily Sour Patch & Swedish Fish. Reese's went next, though there weren't many to begin with...
    Fill takes a "Joe"-marked Quarter Pounder box outta the fridge and goes, "Did you know that this is Joe?" I'm like, "He turned into a burger? Figures! It's only surprising it didn't happen sooner. And that he's only a Quarter Pounder. A quarter-pound? That's nothing. 4 ounces. I'd have expected a Big Mac or something." #weamuseme

  21. You're always gonna think of more good'uns later, ain'tcha? Good & Plenty, Twizzlers (although those two come under licorice, so yeah), Jujyfruits, Jujubes, gumdrops/spearmint leaves, Chuckles, Pop Rocks, Fruit Stripe/Bubble Beeper/Ouch! & pretty much all fruity or minty/non-cinnamon gum, aerated chocolate (ofc any good chocolate from any good brand...white, coated in sprinkles or hard candy, Mounds/coconut, Hershey bar family, ones w/ fun colors & shapes & fillings, etc. etc. etc...) - https://twitter.com/bellatrixkiddo_/status/1322145412858478592

  22. ...Let it be a lesson to all objects...if you wish not to be hurled, chucked, pounded, stomped upon, violently kicked, etc., you must do precisely as I wish precisely when I wish it. I cannot be held responsible for my actions when things drive me into a fiery blind rage, as they do nearly daily (often by behaving in physically impossible ways purely to piss me off.) And as I never even agreed to be born in the first place (and might well not have had I known what total shit this world is in most ways, how deeply unworthy of my awesomeness), I should never have to deal with even the slightest inconvenience or displeasure! Dx

  23. Made the mistake of listening to Pokemon music and now the damn "Pikachu's Goodbye" song has me crying over my dog again.
    Not to mention the friendship songs that have me wanting more than ever to reconnect with everybody. ;;
    Something dreadfully wrong with the Christmas Bash album, though. It played all right, but then when you went for any specific song, each track would play some random one other than what you'd selected. Yet the times & titles were somehow matching up to what it said...it was impossible, and yet every single day I'm forced to accept various contradictory truths. So. I literally witness the impossible on a daily basis. I'm used to this shit.
    And that Pokemon Day virtual concert? OY! The visuals of Umbreon ๐Ÿ–ค๐Ÿ’›๐Ÿ–ค and Vulpix ๐Ÿงก❤️๐ŸคŽ๐Ÿงก ๐Ÿพ and Torterra ๐Ÿข ๐ŸŒฒ ๐ŸŒณ and Shiinotic ๐Ÿ„ and Jellicent ๐Ÿ’–๐Ÿ’™and Lanturn ๐ŸŸ and Slugma ๐ŸŒ ๐Ÿงก๐Ÿ”ฅand.......ahh, they all looked so greeaaat ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ป๐Ÿ˜ Apparently no actual Pokรฉmon songs for some bizarro reason, so I headed to ol' Spootify...plus some HOOTHOOT & THE QWILFISH...^0^ (And by association, the Bay City Rollers’ “I Only Want to Be With You!” One of those instances of two equally good but totally different songs having basically the same title...kinda like the Poke "Together Forever" and Rick Astley's...;p Or "[You're] Still the One" by Shania/Orleans...)

  25. Alas the Shuppet design beats the Umbreon. Ludicolo design reminds of my southwestern beach towel. Seviper, my old black tee with the many strands of glittery beads printed upon. Cacnea, my cactus garden & stickers & general all-around cactus love, ofc. Lotad & Mudkip, the lilypads in the deer pond in the sculpture on me desk. Etc. ^w^

  26. Mystery Incorporated: The one where Daph's eyes are just purple dots. Weird, different format. Going a little too "wacky." Scooby talks too much, to everybody. Sometimes funny, sometimes fails for trying too hard. Trying to be more “mature” in a very immature way. Tries to be too snarky and self-parodic while simultaneously shooting for semi-seriousness; doesn't quite work. ;b Too noncanonical/AU/unbelievable even in the context of the extreme silliness that is SD. Dislike Daphne's portrayal sometimes. Nova is like some tall, odd-looking version of Lady who seems to have been drawn by Norman Bridwell. I dig Sunday Around Noonish & Randy Warsaw, and Inga+Olga+Heidi.
    Scooby-Doo, Where Are You?=THE real Scooby, of course. "What's New" is decent. Most remarkable episode="Homeward Hound" due to the red Sasha LaFleur/Brainy Barker Saluki seen throughout the dog show. Plus Meadow and her cute pupper. And o' course the Hex Girls. The live-action movies are pretty much eww. They barely tried to get Daphne right.
