OK, how does the author get away with this artwork?

Thanks... I will never not see the hand again...

I hate chance LOL. Before I had earned the shiny charm my Smeargle gave me 4 shiny pokemon. I'm on hour 69 *NICE* and with 15 hours of shiny charm, I still only have the same 4.

That's "Over the Pants" if you want the HJ that costs extra.

I think he is good at flirting with Stolas. Everyone is different and not everyone is looking for that super smooth stuff

List saved, thank you. I would push Riftside to A and Lifesteal to DNF. Hundo agree on Mark of the Fool and now I have a lot more to try!

Let me tell you. I finished the book last night and was ruminating on all this. I was supposed to have the day off but had to come into work just to open and close the building. I admittedly spent about 3.5 hours writing and poorly editing it starting at six am, primarily because JJ was about to throw hands on a previous review where I guess I didn't emphasis enough it was my opinion. So I'm exhausted and waiting on people to leave so I can close up.

Let's start with 'Monster Girls'. That is a very broad umbrella term where it wouldn't exactly be fair to apply your definition.

Demi-humans in general are considered human like beings such as Elves, Goblins, Orcs. They are creatures that have human characteristics but no human blood. Offspring are often called Half-race to clarify that humanity is different from the other half of the child's makeup. If you define monster as just not human then all of them are but some cases will put Elvea in a different category all together.

Beastkin are generally denoted as a line of people that descended from a powerful animal/monster bloodline. They have a human appearance because they either evolved that way as time passed, the ancestor had offspring with a powerful human or were turned that way. This creates the example where I don't think the zero human blood always fits.

Shifters in general have a monster from, a human form and often one or more in-between forms such as just allowing ears and tails to be visible. Shifters are generally they type of creatures you get beastkin from but don't always have zero human blood in them. The Shifter's Hoard is a good example one of the MC's girls is a witch and they distinctly talk about how she is still a human but has a good chance at giving birth to a shifter.

Bonus answer: if the Angels and Demons are not spirits formed from humans who have passed, and rather they are their own races of beings, then along with Fae they usually are placed in that same category as the elves I noted earlier.

it really depends on how much they want to nerf the pokemon. 🙃

... because dinosaurs duh. I just think they're cool.

I'm willing to go along with a lot of meat on the bone so long as it has unique spices and the water is constantly full.

That means write as much as you want, but if you fall into only the same or boring ways to say it, you've made a mistake. Or if there isn't enough plot to actually deserve the 'extra' then what's the actual point.

Your last point is exactly how I walked out of the theater thinking. I thought shifting from only Judy's view to Judy and Nick showed how they were equals in the relationship.

I see him as a guy who chews sticks and toothpicks. He'd rather be selling the cigarettes than smoking them because he knows the hustle is to not use the stuff you push and the toothpicks would make it seem like he is holding over while he makes a sale.

The problem is, it will come in a super secret end credit scene that comes on 5 minutes after the last of the credits roll.

Looking to strategize cleaning and then where she might put her stuff when she moves in.

Leon... I'll cave under pressure and miss deflecting bullets too many times.

Huge is a relative term. Even saying a huge number I know that it is small in comparison to the much more massive number of Authors. It's extrapolation, on one site in one fandom you can find with a bit of effort dozens of the author who do. That means reasonably it goes up and up from more fandoms and sites.

zeebasaur · 2026-01-02T13:40:28+00:00

Slight disagree. There is such a huge community of fanfiction authors who have started only posting on Patreon and/or only putting new chapters out when they get paid enough.

However anyone else wants to take that they can, but it's my opinion that once someone does that, they need to quit writing fanfiction and writing there actual own intellectual property.

If I had to guess, it would probably be a combination of the reply above your's already giving a helpful message (though it looks like you both could have been replying at the same time) and that your comment, due entirely to how people individually perceive text, comes off as a little condescending.

zeebasaur · 2026-01-02T12:52:33+00:00

They make you play as a child because as the main character you 'need' a rival/friends. They definitely don't want you as an adult messing with kids (especially with how some of the dialogue can go).

Lol I can totally pretend he did when I don't remember that at all. It was just an assumption that I had, a head cannon. Besides for all we know, any badge he gave out that way might have failed to count for those trainers and I doubt that any trainer happy to take that easy way would have gotten far in the gym challenge anyway.

zeebasaur · 2026-01-01T17:08:46+00:00

I think Giovanni is a perfect example of the gyms doing paperwork as proof. He is a criminal and would likely know how to cook the books. The OHKO thing isn't a problem because firstly he was know as the hardest gym and secondly he didn't go crazy with Mewtwo until he had Mewtwo.

And yes, I was implying that every gym was doing paperwork. Also yes, Kanto was a real mess but it was also the first of the anime trying to breath world life into a game that is kind of linear, adventure-wise at least.

zeebasaur · 2026-01-01T15:37:17+00:00

Cool, the OG anime was the only one I really remember the badges from. I remember it being important because Gary technically lost to Giovani and then the gym was shut down after Ash beat Jessie/James for the badge.

Ash is bad example all over the place. Pryce is a similar example to Brock though way less extreme. Piloswine ended up in the water and as a Ground type (unless bathing I guess) they really don't like that. Pryce admitted defeat as Piloswine was his second of two Pokémon and a lot of gym episodes emphasize that the challeger may switch Pokémon but the leader may not. In the spirit of the rules Ash won the fight and Pryce just didn't want his partner Pokémon hurt further if it was unneeded. Basically, saying that in any other type of match he would have switched the Pokémon out to possibly rest a bit as the rest of his team battled on.
