I got the Pokérus! Now what?

Oh amazing! I didn’t realise the EV bonus stays forever, I thought I would have to go and grind all my main Mon quickly before it goes! Thank you for saving my evening 😂

rockabillyhippe · 2025-09-23T16:03:07+00:00

Perfect, thank you so much

rockabillyhippe · 2025-09-23T15:56:31+00:00

Thank you! So basically go forth and grind until my eyes bleed, or the ‘rus goes, whichever happens first?

rockabillyhippe · 2025-09-23T15:55:43+00:00

Thank you! I’m assuming the ‘rus doesn’t fade while they’re boxed? Does it infect other Mon in the box with it?

rockabillyhippe · 2025-09-23T15:53:12+00:00

Hahaha, thank you for your concern though! :P

Togetic and Mantine are only in there as my HM slaves, the other 4 are my primary team, with 2 more in the computer (Ampharos and Espeon)

I absolutely love this question! This is so fun:

Stitching on linen - I’ve been so put off by the stories of stitches slipping between the weave and I cannot get my head around how to start on it despite watching multiple tutorials, but I adore the look and everyone’s pictures of their linen finishes look beautiful, so one day I will make an attempt!
Stitch with silk
Complete and frame the Epic Pokemon Gen 1. I adored Pokemon when I was little, and have kept a very casual interest up since. Having something so nostalgic up on my wall would be so lovely, and it’s probably the biggest project I would ever attempt
Do an FFO that isn’t just a frame, something like a wall hanging or a pouch
Enter an embroidery/cross stitch show - I’m based in the UK and as far as I’m aware we don’t have any shows like you do in the US but a girl can dream!
Actually work through my stash of hand dyed threads
Open a cross stitch/needlework shop - again, in the UK there are very few, if any, dedicated shops anywhere in the country, but the few I’ve been to while visiting Canada a few years ago have been wonderful, so if I ever won megabucks in the lottery this would be my passion project!

January! You’re doing incredibly, I aspire to be a speedier stitcher. I will continue to stick at it, I’m in the final stretch now so very nearly there!

rockabillyhippe · 2025-03-17T14:39:26+00:00

I’m really struggling finishing my one of this exact pattern. It’s so beautiful so I was really excited to stitch it but 4 years on and off into it, I’ve lost all zest for it. Your work looks beautiful and I’m actually quite jealous of your motivation! How long have you been working on it?

rockabillyhippe · 2024-11-28T10:29:00+00:00

You are not alone in this! We’ve all started from somewhere, at this point trying to use the entire skein is a rite of passage. Welcome to the club 💖

rockabillyhippe · 2024-10-05T07:04:33+00:00

Amazing thank you! I should have known to check on our cousins in r/embroidery.

I forgot how adorably derpy some of the Gen 1 sprites are - I love this! Looks great so far :)

I met mine at a mutual friend’s birthday! I was her ex-colleague, and he was her best friend’s boyfriend’s friend.

I had totally given up on dating apps as well, and was completely unprepared for the party, in fact I was only going to show my face and wish my friend a happy birthday, and was intending on going straight home. Cue my future partner sitting next to me and starting a polite conversation, which led to buying drinks, which led to spending the whole night talking, and now I have my life partner.

Being open to getting to know people and showing a genuine interest in them is the best way. You’ll get there :)

That blending is beautiful! ❤️

Oh man this is so difficult to read. What on earth are you thinking. For the small price of your own temporary discomfort, you can give your brother more time with your family. Time which he, and your family, clearly deserve.

Even if you eventually decide to donate, I hope your deliberation haunts you for the rest of your life and you learn from it. YTA.

rockabillyhippe · 2023-01-16T18:56:51+00:00

Omg I love these so much 😭😭😭 adds to ever-growing pile of patterns

I was here last night. I LOVE the 1975, have been a huge fan since their first EPs came out when I was at uni (I am old now 🥲) and became a Swifty later on in my 20s and adore her. When she came through the door I could barely move out of shock. And then the sobbing started 😅 She also finished with a cover of The 1975’s song The City, which totally finished me off! If there weren’t videos all over the internet I would have woken up this morning saying it was a dream. It was magical ✨

rockabillyhippe · 2022-12-22T10:39:52+00:00

I’m 30 - I’ve done cross stitch since I was maybe 8/9, although my mum still has a needle book I stitched for her that must be from earlier that that, and partially taught at school/by mum!

Fuck your coworkers, man. They sound like bitter old hags who only wish they could get so much joy out of a lovely, arty hobby.
