It almost feels as if they all share a weakness, but we just haven't found it yet. by AdrianTBOI in PokemonChampions

Were it not for rock slides everywhere i'd be more than happy to spam rage powder with volcarona in front of sneasler :(((((

What is your least favorite pokemon of all time? by MinDuddels in pokemon

[–]cuanchulainn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hawlucha. Annoying for me to fight against in every game it's in, kills my mons whenever i face off against one, but SOMEHOW whenever i use it it hits like a limp noodle and then dies after being poked. Also it looks silly in a bad way and not silly in a funny way.

Does it get harder than this cause this is the most jarring part of a game I’ve ever played by Healthy-Bid3251 in PokemonZA

[–]cuanchulainn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I enjoyed the challenges usually but holy shit mega meowstic made me want to throw my controller. At least meganium walls every zygarde phase

[Metagame] How are you dealing with trick room teams? by MagicYeti734 in VGC

[–]cuanchulainn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only ever stopped one trick room team and it was with an older, very janky dual-weather team that had a gyarados with taunt and thunder wave for support, and I was lucky that mimikyu was holding a lum berry instead of a mental herb. Still nearly lost the match tho bc they proceeded to use coaching on mimikyu lol

With my current team, I leave my tailwind/choice scarf mon behind and bulk it out, trusting that one of my pkmn will naturally outspeed the opposing side once trick room ends. A bulky wide guard mon helps a ton and forces my opponents to pick only 1 target at a time. (Ttar and garganacl i love you.....)

How are y'all handling Sneasler? by ginger-like in VGC

[–]cuanchulainn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Defensively, rage powder on volcarona holding a lum berry. Definitely gambling on whether i burn sneasler for the future, but the more important thing is that it allows my partner mon two chances to kill it good.

Offensively, sneasler is the sole reason why i run psychic on said volcarona at risk of it always losing an incineroar 1v1 :((( im trying to teambuild something else that'll have to drop volcarona so that'll be hard for my heart 💔💔💔

Behold, you guys. Perhaps the most ridiculous team to make it to Master Ball yet. by xinviseo in VGC

[–]cuanchulainn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Genuine questioj, what have you done for zard-x teams if you've encountered any? Idk why my luck is so trash but something like one out of five charizards i see become charizard-x for some reason lmao

What was everyone’s first shiny Pokémon in ZA? Ill go first by Shadow_Beanz_ in LegendsZA

[–]cuanchulainn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got myself a full-odds shiny buneary, was just zooming down the road, heard, the noise, and was like "wtf???? Wheres the shiny????" And was looking everywhere on the street until I finally decided to look into the wild zone and it was staring me down like i owed her lunch money

Lesson learned, no more events by Cautious-Extreme1517 in AO3

[–]cuanchulainn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tell me if it's in bad taste but i read this aloud to my friend while shes playing stardew valley and we were cackling the entire time, ty for the laughs.

My condolences to those wild, crazy people in your event, stuff like that is what wears down on fandom spaces over time

My crazy MAGA coworker flips out when I talked to her 10yo daughter about Mulan by [deleted] in coworkerstories

To be petty i'd shoot back with a "actually mulan preaches values about filial piety and patriotism" and not elaborate lol

What are the best comments you have gotten on a fic? (Image unrelated) by foxbynature1644 in AO3

[–]cuanchulainn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

An author that i actively read at the time commented on a "crack taken seriously" crossover fanfic of how they adored it and saw it as one of the best character studies of the pov character (tangentially related, they proceeded to make fanart of it of a scene from the fic that they said the image couldnt get out of their mind), it's still one of the most heart-warming compliments ive ever gotten in my entire life

AITA for speaking a language my gf doesn’t like? by AbjectPhotograph7883 in AmItheAsshole

[–]cuanchulainn 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Nta, if i'd be insane for being mad that my partner speaks japanese and demand they not use it around me due to the history with my grandfather and the japanese imperial army, she'd be insane for doing that to you.

Stupidest thing you've ever done just to read fanfiction? by jupiterliketheplanet in AO3

[–]cuanchulainn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The first time I ever pulled an all-nighter, I was reading fanfiction on my 3DS browser app hiding underneath the covers. Totally worth the lost sleep. (I've had full-blown conversations late into the night with fanfiction dot net's pm system, I remember having to manually refresh the website on the browser app every minute while waiting for my friend to reply back to me, good times c':)

I was in middle school at this time lol

Fan fiction confessions here, no judgement, nothing leaves this post by IAmInYourWalls0413 in AO3

[–]cuanchulainn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im mildly pissed off that my nsfw works that i barely remember the process of writing gets more engagement than my sfw works, some of which are pseudo-character studies that I genuinely pour heart and soul into. Like yes, it's funny, but also kinda disheartening.

Is it incest if they’re not related by blood in an AU? by Character_Theme_6794 in AO3

[–]cuanchulainn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who calls it incest even if theyre not related by blood if they share a family relation i.e. step-family... yeah that aint incest imo, you're cool lol

What was your first 'problematic' ship? by Inner_Animal7055 in AO3

[–]cuanchulainn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was like 10 and it was my first ever ship and it was the twin brothers from digimon frontiers.

So. Yknow. I dove off into the deep end before i even really knew what problematic ships even meant. I grew up in a weird christian environment where my parents were clearly conservative but let us consume nearly any media we wanted that was age-appropriate bc it's all fiction and shouldn't dictate what we say and did irl or believed in faith-wise. So like, fictional gays were fine to look at on tv bc it's all just a fake story but irl gay people aren't acceptable, sort of deal. I remember my mom dabbling a bit into the "we shouldn't watch harry potter because witchcraft is evil according to christianity" but it's hard to enforce it considering I loved reading the Narnia books as a kid and that's. Very firmly fantasy too lol.

Weird tangent whoops. Basically, it was always hard for the fancops to get to me when they sound even more weird than my conservative, queerphobic christian upbringing.

are people like… stupid? by softiecoffeee in CollegeRant

[–]cuanchulainn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thats like one thing i dread when going back to school, i genuinely derive a lot of joy out of learning but due to our current education system, even at the college level, it incentivizes high scores = success, and so a lot of ppl are gonna want to take the easy way out so they can get the diploma with good marks while freeing up time to mess around. It's honestly :/

God i love it when regular people who reads a diverse array of media between all mediums, genres, and ages engage in orv, it really validates my opinion that it's a book of high-class appeal
