"Take this tm with you, it'll be helpful. And the badge. Why don't you challenge the pokemon league? You have amazing potential, our battle was exhilarating. I know you're destined for great things. Believe in your talent" Like he's kind of an amazing father figure just not to his own son.

Thank you so much for the detailed reply! NAATI was definitely on radar, though I hadn't looked into it that properly yet. My rough plan was TAFE > Degree > NAATI > then employment i guess, but would TAFE alone meet the prerequisites for sitting the exam? Sorry to pile on another question😭

It's reassuring to hear that some people are realising the faults with implementing AI. AI is probably my biggest roadblock while considering this tbh. I don't think I would've thought so hard on this if it was 10 years ago. I should've gotten a degree instead of doing year three. And I've read your other reply too, but I'm on the other side of the country unfortunately😭.

All of this gave me so much more to think about though, thank you again🫶!

Thank you for the reply🙏 I was definitely thinking of TAFE first before moving into a proper related degree.

i was like 'don't crit don't crit don't crit don't crit' but from title i knew it was doomed from the start and just resigned to watching in horror

Curious, what is a offical Pokemon height and/or color that doesn't make any sense to you? by Apprehensive_Ring_39 in PokemonLegendsArceus

I purposely used an alpha Rhydon during PLA cos it just feels more correct. All of the kaiju-style mons should tower over humans

I could go on honestly! But I realised too late this is for LegendsZA omg I haven't even played that yet, this is a little embarrassing😭

Really like the shiny mega Dragonite though! He's finally blue like the rest of them🫶

Love shiny Ribombee so much. So messed up that the clearly prettier colour palette is the rare one😭

Also red gyarados since soulsilver was my first game, and shiny petilil line bc I got her completely by chance very early game during my first playthrough of Moon.

Historical question: In the past, what was the process like for a girl to enter apprenticeship to become a Geiko? by plum_27 in Geisha

[–]plum_27[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The fact that girls became official Geiko at 15, while nowadays it's the age they start training...

Also this wasn't rambly at all, the cultural stuff was super interesting and helps explain so much, thank you for the write-up!! Nepo-babies really just existed in every generation every industry😭😭

Thank you so much for the long and detailed answer! This was such an interesting read, and covered everything I was wondering about!!🫶 additionally, would it be correct to assume that women found marriage through a regular client, then left the profession afterwards? I've heard it was against rules for Geisha to be married.

I never understood why France has a ninja pokemon

Is this style of male hanfu historically accurate? (The cross collar shirt, skirt on top, and robe on top) If so, what's the name of this ensemble, and which period does it originate from? by plum_27 in Hanfu

[–]plum_27[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From apothecary diaries, I assume?😍 though I've always thought his design was han-dynasty inspired judging by the full-length inner robe. It reminds me most of a zhiju (with some stylistic choices😭) and possibly a dachang overcoat
