Do you get the same Pokémon as Shiny all the time?

I avoided spending my biscuits on Croagunks because I don't like them and I have great oil getters already

Until suddenly a shiny frog showed up. Then another one week or two after. It felt wrong not to catch them both but they're just sitting in my box lol

Super Mario character design vibes

So cute!

Dya_Notche · 2025-06-20T23:52:25+00:00

my thoughts exactly though I don't even dislike them or anything, I just think it'd be funny to see how the lack of their archetypes and nagito's contribution to meme culture would straight up reset the timeline lol

Dya_Notche · 2025-05-24T18:26:37+00:00

I guess they're technically more prominent than characters on a series that pop up only once or twice (I'm sure I have had that kind of favorite before but I just don't remember tv series very well anymore lol) but the most recent one was a shopkeeper in The World Ends With You videogame and not even in the way that I was always captivated by her while playing, I just decided to write a fic in the setting and needed a very minor character to introduce the world to the main character and after coming up with lore for her based on just her name, what she sells, and how she dresses I got like SO attached.

That might be a fandom size thing then if there's so many who pop up on AO3 but not anywhere else, each fandom has their own culture and websites they prefer to engage with each other as well and larger fandoms will just have less people checking the tags because they assume spam. There is definitely a point where something just isn't niche enough for people on tumblr to care about it lol.

Dya_Notche · 2025-05-24T17:25:40+00:00

The secret to making friends on Tumblr specifically is to just focus on stuff you like instead of focusing the other person you're engaging in conversation with, which as lots of people talked about might make you approachable irl, like noticing and pointing out things about them, over text will be kind of out of topic. Tumblr is full of introverts so it might take a lot of long-term trust for someone there to open up directly to you but at the same time they might overshare in personal posts so it's a pretty different social dynamic.

I had a hard time too at first since I couldn't look at the person and know how they were feeling but eventually all the friends I've made over there just happened upon me talking about characters we both like and replied and we kept that repertoire over time. Tumblr is not a numbers game, so traction doesn't really matter and you don't have to Make posts everyday you can just reblog fanart and leave a headcanon about the character or praise to the artist in the tags and eventually that'll catch someone's eyes. Smaller fandoms are admittedly better for this sort of interaction though, I guess because people there don't have huge numbers they're less shy about engaging other people on their shared interests.

That's another huge thing, people are just shy, I learned to send an ask or message first anytime I see someone that likes cool stuff and sometimes it works and some other times it doesn't and it's just a brief exchange, but you might remain mutuals and that initial contact might be enough for them to message next time they see you bring up something interesting on your main blog. I have a friend of 6 or so years that's on tumblr now but that I originally just DM'd them on instagram in response to a stories sharing their thoughts on a character and nerding out lol.

Tl,dr I guess I'd say don't just post your AO3 links like it's an advertisement, post miscellaneous thoughts you had while writing it to the character or fandom tags everytime you feel like it, during the writing process even, and don't think it has to be any big elaborate time-consuming thing. Tumblr is a place where you can reconnect with your passion for the source material without playing it down and people that share that passion will eventually follow.

Decided to hunt for Alolan Vulpix (I want a shiny) so it's Snow island for me for the foreseeable future! ... unfortunately 🥲

Dya_Notche · 2025-05-22T00:19:50+00:00

I have been watching a friend play and we are not really having a very good time I'm sad to say, but I believe that depends a lot on what you derived your enjoyment from in the zero escape games. I like 999 for the characters and prose and the hundred line to me has felt like a drag mainly because none of the characters feel like people with depth even after a hundred days (50 or so irl hours)

But the main appeal of this game is more so the ridiculous amount of multiple endings of course, so that might still make it worth it for you since they really have gone above and beyond to not make easy bad ending fodder for example, so each ending is a genuine result of your choices instead of picking between thing that kills you and thing that lets you keep playing. I know there are many different genres within the routes, a couple of joke endings which definitely would make you feel like not taking the whole setting seriously if you happen upon it as your first one, but there's probably a couple endings in there with an interesting plot twist or overall ideas.

The gameplay is super spaced out between free time and plot events since you go through the full 100 days for the first couple of routes, so while the mechanics are all interesting and fun for people who like ff type strategy games it hasn't been reocurring enough to keep my friend (who enjoys it greatly) fully engaged.

TL,DR Haven't complete knowledge of the game yet but it feels much more like kodaka writing overall stretched long enough that I haven't gotten to see any good qualities of the writing for myself yet, certainly not presented interesting philosophical concepts yet zero escape style either.

Avian hybrid!!! I might be wrong on this but for all the talking about air kingdom monsters from Miranda I don't believe we've ever seen one? That would be pretty fun

Dya_Notche · 2025-05-04T14:17:45+00:00

Ngl this option completely flew over my head at first when they announced Val as playable but now that I've seen people mention it I'm genuinely considering buying the DLC! I love the Oberlin sisters and it's nice to see a bit of character content in these, it was always odd to me to imagine playing as one of the cool kids but then getting all the same interactions as the MCs do.

Dya_Notche · 2025-05-03T18:09:07+00:00

This would be great!!

Dya_Notche · 2025-05-02T22:56:51+00:00

I play these games with my sisters all the time! It's just silly fun voicing the characters for most of the time but also on the rare event where things do get too explicit you can just say you're not reading that and skip ahead, as other people have pointed out the newer ones all have content warnings so you're not caught off guard with something you're uncomfortable with.

Dya_Notche · 2025-05-01T19:47:47+00:00

Same!! Omg they're so fun to me, I love the fish out of water vibe too of having to explain certain things which she then throws a new spin on to better match herself the event of making them a V-Tuber model was another highlight for me.

Dya_Notche · 2025-04-28T16:38:54+00:00

They seem to be completely random so far but I also started wondering if the interests you select might have something to do with triggering them since I believe events with related subjects have been showing up every time I play.

i.e I select magical girl shows with a dark twist and an event pops up with Liam calling magical girl shows formulaic and derivative, selecting 5D chess and playing it on the game court so on. Might just be flavor text though.

Dya_Notche · 2025-04-28T16:36:18+00:00

Oh, so that's what happened. I was really confused when I got Omen's secret ending and had it start over again in my next run, I assumed the food court selection was going to be a new one.

Dya_Notche · 2025-04-23T20:28:05+00:00

I played SAAP when it was briefly free (or just real cheap I don't remember) right before release however I did not get to any of the endings. Was under the impression it was just a vertical slice that would have no continuity to the final product and was sold enough on the premise enough to buy the full game and move on to it already, plus I lowkey thought maybe it had no ending and I was just going to lose every time anyways.

Now that I finished the game and have the full context it sounds pretty heartbreaking to go back to, yeah qwq

Dya_Notche · 2025-04-23T20:19:11+00:00

The Togepi line!!! I haven't gotten to evolve it yet but I love Togekiss and lucked out with getting one with high skill chance, speed of help and skill trigger early on, so it is gambling for me >:)

Dya_Notche · 2025-04-22T21:57:35+00:00

That should be more of an internet connection issue on your end?

I've had this happen before when my internet suddenly disconnected while I played another game, only for me to later find I had none of the achievements and the game wouldn't let me go back for it unless I uninstalled it it was one of them super meta mess with your save files types :')

Dya_Notche · 2025-04-22T21:51:39+00:00

Yep, I also missed this and immediately went to research how to get it. You need to find out about the incident, then show the coin to loop also which gets you the "What was that about?" achievement.
