Kartana Writing EditionNow that things have calmed down a bit, we're back to the 'I Woke up as a Pokemon, So What?' AUPrevious >>58912708>FAQ>What is this?People are turning into Pokemon. Some are having the time of their lives, and some are struggling to survive. These are their stories.>How do I join?Just start posting.>What's the lore?People and animals (and at least one tree) are changing at random in their sleep, waking up still in the real world, but now as Pokemon, and nobody knows why (that includes you. Please don't try to explain it). Just enough transformations are occurring to notably change day-to-day life without collapsing civilization. This is not the apocalypse, even if it might feel like it to some characters in the moment. Some people are more in touch with their instincts than others, and some have lost more of their humanity than others. That's about it. Avoid legendaries if possible.

"I'm going to put the plate on the table next to the door if you want to eat it in your room.">You put down the plate and went to your PC.>Obviously you forgot what the website was called, but you finally did find it after some searching.>It had several logos of national and supranational organizations at the bottom of the main page.>WHO, CDC,UKHSA, ECDC, JIHS, ect.>You proceeded to open the tab under the name of "general list".
>>58989577Ooh, what's CopAnon going to see?
>>58989577>It was a list with every single Pokemon in dex order.>You did a quick scroll down and up to get a feel for the site.>Each Pokemon was in a box in a different color.>Green, yellow, red, black.>Apparently these were designations of how dangerous someone displaying PIPS symptoms might be.>Some of those boxes were even covered in diagonal white stripes, which indicated that there were no reported cases.>After some thought, you realized that the entire site was probably made for phone use.>If you clicked on a box, it would reveal some stats and behavioral patterns.>You decided to go through the statistics for your new friend group.>First, Lisa the Salazzle.>The box was yellow but also striped.>So unless there aren't any other turnees hiding somewhere, Lisa might be the only Salazzle on the planet.>You proceeded to Derek the Noivern.>Red.>3 registered turnees and 2 unregistered sightings.>You hoped he didn't end up getting spotted anywhere near his house.>Just giving the government the knowledge of this would make them try to search for him if they wanted to.>He said he was out of state, however.>He was going to come visit later in the evening, so you'd berate him about this then.>You scrolled past Zorua and Zoroark, which were green but with white stripes, and Hisuian Zorua, which was black with white stripes.>And now, Layla the Hisuian Zoroark.>Black box with white stripes.>No reported cases, no sightings, no nothing.>Just a text in bold letters saying, "do not approach under any circumstances and report it to the authorities at the earliest given opportunity.">"Fucking hell..." you muttered out while stepping away from your PC.>It wasn't something you weren't expecting.>In fact, it was exactly what you were expecting.>The Pokemon known for using illusions is good at hiding.>You just hoped that Layla was the only one because the consequences of another Hisuian Zoroark running around could be... ugly, to say the least.
>>58989928>Only one on the planetMust still be really early in the progression of people turning then, statistically they should be relatively common on a population-wide scale.

Not a bad trade
>>58991323Welcome back, Phoxanon. Fading into the background noise, getting beer out of it, and having a semblance of normalcy is a win in my book.
>>58989928>It might be worth a damn or it might be absolutely uselessI feel like "Schrodinger's Competency" has typified the US govt. response to the phenomenon throughout our stories.>didn't know about any other turnees.Wait what about that whole thing with the Emboar? What'd they even do with the Emboar, anyway?Oh good, an INTERNATIONAL government Bulbapedia. This can only end so well.I agree that Lisa being the only Salazzle feels kinda unlikely - unless we're saying the phenomenon is A LOT rarer than all our stories seem to have been implying so far. The fact that they've rated regular Zoroark as green also seems a bit dubious. Sure, it's not an ill-tempered Pokemon, but its illusions could still cause a lot of confusion, fear, and ultimately damage were one so-inclined or provoked. Then again, I'm talking to the WHO here, so I guess I really shouldn't expect any better.On the plus side, if they didn't come for Derek that time he went night shopping, I don't see them coming for him now.Things are only getting bigger, it seems. How long can Copanon maintain everybody's secrets?Y'know, drawing up the full government list would be a fun creative writing exercise...>>58991323>I got used to the flavor. Suck it, BiologyBasedI'm a little confused - did Phox move a single apartment over or something? Ah yes, >>58991551 , being ignored and having to worry about ultra-authoritarian government. Normalcy!Nah but for real though, it is nice that things have at least calmed down for her personally. Did she ever actually learn to fly, or did she just give up eventually? Either way, incredibly great to have you back, Phoxanon.>>58992658Such a lovely Mien.

>>58993398Changelog:- Updated Golisanon and VetPhox rentries, updated Lopunanon pastebin, and updated spicy one-shot rentry with the Hakamo-o story and Exeggutor story.- Updated archive with Churchanon's new story and Mareanieanon, as well as links for Copanon, Kartanon, and Mienshanon's sidestories- Changed references to outdated "Transformed Into a Pokemon" working title in some archives to our current and final title - So I'm a Pokemon- Moved Drifteranon's stories and Churchanon's main story to archive since they haven't updated in a while. Herdinganon has requested his story not be moved over for now.- Moved Macho and Snivyanon's stories to archived as we've opted to shelve our tales (I'll still give story feedback and run the archive).- Moved Lopunanon to ongoing.- Added statistics rentry and thread list rentry. Thanks to Mienshanon.--------Also, here's an updated FAQ:>FAQ>What is this?People are turning into Pokemon. Some are having the time of their lives, and some are struggling to survive. These are their stories.>How do I join?Just start posting.>What's the lore?People and animals (and at least one tree) are changing at random in their sleep, waking up still in the real world, but now as Pokemon, and nobody knows why (that includes you. Please don't try to explain it). Just enough transformations are occurring to notably change day-to-day life without collapsing civilization. This is not the apocalypse, even if it might feel like it to some characters in the moment. Some people are more in touch with their instincts than others, and some have lost more of their humanity than others. That's about it. Avoid legendaries if possible.>What the Hell is PIPS?In many of the stories, the scientific community in-unvierse has begun referring to Pokemon instincts and the loss of humanity some people who transform experience as Pokémon Induced Psychosis Syndrome, or PIPS. The term is explained in more detail here: https://rentry.org/sip-concepts
>>58989577Welp, I'm craving scrambled eggs now.>>58989928I love how you always try to incorporate things we do in the thread into your story. That global register of Pokémon seems like a logical, yet somewhat rushed thing. Does it distinct between humans and animals? Are animals on a separate list? How is the categorisation working, by Pokédex entries or purely by observation of turnees? Layla has a bad case of PIPS-A (yes, I'm gonna use the abbrevations now), but is every H. Ruse as potentially dangerous as she is?If PIPS is dependent on the psychological health of the person before turning, wouldn't that be highly discriminating? Imagine turning into a H.Ruse with zero PIPS symptoms, yet you're getting scrutinised just because someone else has determined that Ruses are highly dangerous because of Layla's crippling urges. (Assuming she gets registered at some point)Or make it the other way around. Imagine some Mon has a green border and then there is a violent case somewhere that "debunks" its harmlessness. What would happen to the list then? Very interesting to think about and discuss! Terrific update, Copanon!>>58989992I think it's on the same timeline as Lucarioanon's, which is pretty early on after the phenomenon started. Like our Auradog, Derek, Hal and Layla, many people probably don't want to be seen and went into hiding. It makes sense that there wouldn't be all too many "public" cases yet.>>58991323Lopunanon returned last thread, and now Phoxanon (somehow) makes a comeback as well! Glad to have you back!This "Pokémon Registration Act" would be far too realistic in our current real world, good one!>>58990497>>58992658Those are indeed some nice Miens, although I kinda feel conflicted about bumps like that. We have other photogenic protags as well, you know!>>58992691>drawing up the full government listSeconding! Maybe limit ourselves to every Mon that has shown up in every story and oneshot for now, though. 1000+ Mons seems daunting.
>>58993398>>58993410Thanks for the update, Macho!I tweaked the PIPS rentry page to be grammatically more correct and restructured the spoiler segment. The descriptions of PIPS-A and PIPS-R can certainly be improved some more, so can the micro-analyses of the characters. Feedback is always welcome!
>>58992691Nah, same apartment, I may have missed posting that Phox's first act of arson with the grill torched her privacy screen. Corner apt is mostly hidden still from view, but, no sense replacing somethign thats gonna get torched often, yeah?>>58993411Mutant / pokemon registration act would be the FIRST thing people screamed about. Gotta get these dangerous creatures under lock and key, you know? They're *not* people.>Yes, I said Beer out of it, Yes I've been going to the bar with some of my other discharged buddies. >Half the squad you know? >We see eachother in the group therapy sessions. S'pretty alright. Helps to remind us we're normal and this is part of the healing. >"So, Doc, There I am, butt ass naked, wearing only my kpot, my LBV and boots, ankle deep in a bomb shelter that flooded with my dick out and a MRE spoon to defend myself from the mortars... and Phox... Phox shows up with a water hose and I shit you not - cackles as she turned it on me. Apparently when I ordered shrooms on my pizza, they gave me legit shrooms and I was tripping balls.">I take a slow drink of the water in my hand as they all begin laughing hysterically, hiding the massive grin with the act. >The therapist? Absolutely unamused.>"Phox, do...you think you may have handled that...">"Differently? Oh yes. However, Doc, I was exhausted, I'd been out the wire for fourteen days straight, little rest, and we had no less than four firefights and two IED hits... I'm supply, I'm not even supposed to be near a gun I am rear with the gear, you know..safe... And then I get back in and this... animal in uniform is tripping, naked, raiding my supply room MRE boxes for spoons to arm us against the indigenous mole people..." >I take a long, slow sip and hoist it up, grinning, "It behaves like a good boy or it gets the hose again.">I can see just the hint of a grin from the headshrinker as the rest of the guys devolve into childish snickers. I'll break you like femboy yet doktor.
>>58994059OH GOD ITS HIDEOUS
>>58994187It is, isn't it? I love it.
>>58993411I imagined that the system basically works on the assumption that you don't know how severe the PIPS-A is. So it basically assumes the worst case scenario and instead of asking the question of how severe are the symptoms it asks what the symptoms are.Imagine that you have two tunees, a Chansey and a Hisuian Zoroark.In one case you get a kind hearted creature that is going to heal you and feed you its egg.In the other you get an undead revenant that rose from the dead thanks to spite for all living things, that is going to harm itself so it can kill.Obviously the situation can be reversed with people who turned but don't display PIPS-A symptoms. The Chansey turnee might be a dick, and the H.Zork might be a decent person trying to live their life.

>>58993411>Those are indeed some nice Miens, although I kinda feel conflicted about bumps like that. We have other photogenic protags as well, you know!I would have liked to do something different, but it's what I had saved and the second Mienshao was posted in a bit of a Get-It-Off-Page 10 rush.
>>58994059Such silly military stories are always a favourite of mine. It's those things that bring some humanity back in a war and is a nice contrast to the usual misery.I wonder how her buddies reacted to her turning into a magic fox-witch. I feel like this could be a fun conversation.>picrelThis is astonishingly consistent, what the hell? Not even too many artefacts, other than the details in the wall decoration and the weird window frame at the top.>>58994324Raising a fair point there. It's still a huge powder keg, especially because of all the blabbermouths out there. That Linoone from Snivyanon comes to mind. That guy would certainly accuse every "black border" Mon of being or doing something heinous.>>58995343You're good. It's nice to have some mustelids between /mm/ not being around. I just don't want the thread to be just about Mien in the slow phases.(I already feel like I'm hogging the threads somewhat and this doesn't help either, but that is my problem, not yours)

>>58999246Sorry man, I just brought the thread back after the last one got knocked out and I'm not very good at remembering to update everything.
>>58999268Different Anon, to clarify: i posted >>58989236and I am not >>58993410
>>58999268I didn't post my update, I just silently uploaded it to reentry. It's fine, don't worry about it.
>>58999282Maybe you could share with the class exactly which Rentry we should click on to read this exciting new chapter?
>>58995515The AI, It's Evolving!>Yes, I mentioned beers.>Yes, I have two braincells fighting for third place, much like my cat.>Which is why I'm sitting at a local dive bar, tipping back the first and only beer I've had the whole night. >And I've been here three hours. Not off the wagon, and it's a herculean effort to force the stuff down, just to be social.I will say, however, the pile of wings infront of me has been demolished. Whatever sauce they're putting on these things doesn't even bother me. And I was a lightweight when it came to spicy foods.>Perks of being a magical fox. I'll take it.>Not to mention the bar has a massive sign by the door 'poke-friendly'. >Mind out of the gutter, please?>Apparently the bars owner woke up as a Throh and rolled with it. It's also next door to a Karate dojo. And the other side is a damn gym. >The jokes write themselves sometimes.>Thats how I ended up in a bar, with my buddies, after therapy, eating ghost pepper wings and watching a hitmonchan boxing the ears off some poor idiot across the street. >Poor guy was actually holding his own, but he just didn't have the power behind the swings.>Gym muscle doesn't mean you have useful muscles, just larger ones for lifting. Even I learned that overseas.>I look away to grin at my buddies, "Next round of wings says the idiot tried to grapple and then gets punched in the face by the chan?">Money hits the table, the guys aren't toasted, but they are done. I toss five into the pot and clean off a wing, wipe away the sauce in time to watch exactly what I saw coming land, "And the gym-bro goes down." >You would think my buddies would stop making bets with me. They won't. and the wings are delicious.>Clock on the wall reads 3am, and I dodge the attacker trying to tackle into me as I come through the door.>I click the lights on and look at the foodbowl, it's full. one neat hole in the center to the bottom |I'M STARVING! FEED ME!| "THAT'S NOT HOW IT FUCKIN' WORKS!"
>>58999282As >>58999354 alludes to, there aren't notifications or anything for when a Rentry gets updated. Unless it's one I'm updating myself (such as VetPhox or Golisanon), all I have is the link, so the only way for me to know a silent update had taken place would be to check every individual story when I go to update the archive. I didn't think to do that because normally people announce their updates in the thread so that people know to come read it. As such, you shouldn't take it as a sign we consider your story unworthy or anything like that.Anyways, I had a feeling that was you, Churchanon (you shouldn't be afraid to advocate for yourself more, y'know), so I'll go ahead and correct my oversight. Most likely I'll give your update and Phoxanon's two new posts feedback tomorrow:

At this point I'm starting to wonder if Isaac has been blissfully unaware this entire time that his church is built on an Indian burial ground or some shit.

>>59014981>I've got an orbiting ring of food, remotes, utensilsFor some reason the first thing I thought of was the Jasper boss fight from House of the Dead: Overkill. I fucking love this - just VetPhox absolutely owning life in her new form. Her being so successful with her powers despite being instinct-low is cool, but I think a potentially much funnier interpretation would be if she DOES in fact have phox instincts, but has sort of wrested control of them for her own benefit, chaining them up like a snarling dog. Something to think about anyway.>>59019824>>59019829For as much as we may (deservedly) take the piss out of the UK in its current state, a British perspective on the phenomenon WOULD be fun.>>59023296Are you the author of the Sandslash story? Were you thinking of continuing it?>>59028095Wrong "you're", and the perspective shift from first to third person between posts is jarring, but I like the implication that Mimikyu is a TERRIBLE pull for a compulsive, anxiety-ridden over-thinker. Realistically, people who know what a Mimikyu is will probably accept one's presence with a costume on, while those who don't know any better will just think it's "some weird Pokemon", or even actually be legitimately fooled by the standard Pikachu disguise. >>59028803Oh, cool! Not sure I'll be able to contribute to Michell's story, but I'll give it some thought. Maybe he has to deal with someone being a little too curious what's under the disguise, or perhaps he accidentally unmasks a Ditto and the two find mutual solace in another person who feels they have to disguise their true self.

Alive.Seems Phox wouldn't mind that either.Honestly, thankyou SO MUCH for keeping the thread alive, man, and in such a fun way, too. You're almost starting to take over from LarKurt in a way - that super-wholesome SOL stuff is always a great time.
>>59035791It's good to see that you're starting to spin this idea out into a proper story, Emolganon. I like how it's a rambling, disconnected stream of consciousness from someone who's clearly never tried their hand at storytelling (or just entertaining in general) in-universe - that too feels very human. >not sure why being up in a tree works well.Sounds like you've got a few Emolga instincts coming into play. It also sounds like you're either living in another hotspot, or else not all of the Pokemon you're seeing are actually former humans.

That'd be a good perspective to get.>I guess if I can give a morale?>if you're part of the electric rodent group like I am, get a cat tower I guess?>you have, NO idea how much you wanna get on top of things until you do.Haha!

I would. I've been in a free candy van, they're pretty roomy for all that gear.Pokephiles get their biggest wishes granted, the bible belt in utter uproar like it's the great satanic panic 2.0, the Bri*ish try legislating people can't turn into pokemon, continue clutching pearls at unlicensed mons refusing to get a license to breath, Roll the dice for other countries... I can see life sucking in other countries where pokemon aren't widely known or understood... :|Having bad morals doesn't mean one doesn't know right form wrong. I mean, whats stopping me from doing it batman, there's no laws against the lopunny.... *Ahem* Matter of fact, would it be a warcrime if you had a mind reading pokemon outright mindcontrol enemy combatants into shooting themselves? *Theres* a lot of terrifying things a Pshychic type can do - and thats before the implications of bodyhorror and such since, theoretically a Psychic-mon makes physics their bitch down to the atomic scale...Water to wine? Blood to FOOF? (If you don't know what FOOF is, It's Excited to react with existence itself, and will burn things that patently will not burn.)And yes. All this power and she's performing party tricks for a buncha kids in an apartment complex. It's good training.

>>59036205A lot of psychic types can literally divine the future. The military, law enforcement and any agency worth their salt would want one for themselves.Phox is literally named after the oracle of Delphi.Mind reading and mind control have been mentioned as reasons why people wouldn't trust psychic types, but being potentially complicit in some minority report kind of bullshit was not. Obviously the mon in question could just be using it to game the stock market, or trying to warn people about the future, but what if they don't?

Gif 100% related to ideas and plans.In reality? 100% the government would declare pshycic types to be dangerous to national security to cover up their abuses of power and gestapo lockdowns on them. Every government would, esp since a passing psychic type could just walk by and go 'oh hey, a pedophile in the wild, and they did it on these dates and the body is buried there' sorta stuff... ... goddamn that's fucking depressing... Nevermind - I won't be going those routes with my stories. We got enough shit in the media. Think I'll focus more on the satire and bullshit of daily life instead.

You absolutely deserve to warm up and enjoy a normal lifestyle with your new condition. Go ahead and find a suitably old or worn out piece of furniture that you own and no longer care about to light on fire.

>The lieutenant rummaged through a bag at his feet and put a few identical looking, black blocks onto the leathery surface of the gym unit.>"Okay, this is going to be the last discipline," he began. "Those blocks all weigh between 400 grams and five kilos.">You thought you didn't hear the first part right."Wait, aren't there supposed to be five disciplines in total?" you asked puzzled.>"Er, yes, normally there would be two more after this, but..." He stopped talking and started pushing the pieces of paper scattered around the makeshift table.>"We've decided to combine the last three into a single, larger discipline," he finished, having apparently found what he was looking for on a page.>He put the note in front of you.>It was a crude drawing of an obstacle course with three posts marked on it.>You studied the plan while the lieutenant explained some of the details.>You were tasked to fly a predetermined path while carrying increasingly more weight.>The three posts were: Crawling through shrubbery, climbing up a tree, and something the lefty called "accuracy gliding".>The entire exercise was timed, just like the progressive endurance run of the usual test. Not only did you have to carry increasingly more weight, but you also had less time to complete the individual tasks as time progressed.>Again, just like with the endurance run, the rhythmic timings were played through a speaker to provide auditory guidance.>If you were out of sync too long and heard the officers whistle, you were out and needed to return immediately.>"I hope you got all of that. To get the full 75 points, you'll be going around the course for approximately one hour." said the officer in conclusion.>You took another good look at the plan written on the paper before you.>You didn't catch any impossible tasks, nor something that would get too difficult as time went on.
>>59052590>But you also didn't really know how the ever increasing weight would bother you, especially since the heaviest thing you had carried ever since turning was your phone.>One last thing wasn't really clear."When do I change weights exactly?" you asked.>"Oh, I forgot!" the lieutenant exclaimed and cleared his throat. "Every fifth lap there will be a very short break where I switch out your weights. The timer will be paused, of course.""So I start with 400 grams and then it goes up by 400 every fifth lap up to five kilos?" you asked for confirmation.>"That is correct, but..." he affirmed. "But there will be bigger steps after the two kilo mark.">The officer sighted. "Admittedly, we only found eight weights that can be clipped to your harness.">You nodded and glanced back at the plan.>"Alright, prepare yourself for a warm-up lap. If you do something wrong and I'll see it, I'll whistle you back to me," the lefty instructed. "Aim for around a minute to complete a single lap.">And with that, you began to prepare yourself for the warm-up lap.>You started at the Swedish box and waited for the lieutenant's whistle.>PHWEEEE!>You hopped into the air, spread your wings and started dashing towards the nearby treeline.>You landed at the foot of the marked shrubbery and began to make your way through.>It was one of those bushes that bore small, red berries and had thorns all over.>You were taken down memory lane to your childhood, when you used to crawl through shrubs like these all the time with your friends.>You always wondered why the little sparrows and blackbirds liked to be in the thicket so much – and now you got to experience first-hand why they did.>You, however, were no small sparrow. The undergrowth was dense and you had trouble fighting your way through.>Your plumage protected you from the thorns, as long as you kept them away from your eyes at least.>Keeping your head stable enough to not blur your vision kept you on your toes.
>>59052594>After what felt like an eternity of going over and under thorn covered branches, you made it to the other side with both eyes unscathed.>Your harness got caught by some of the twigs, but it held fast. Definitely something to look out for once the weight was attached.>On to the next post―you could already see the small orange flag that marked the tree you were supposed to climb.>It was a stately fir with very low-hanging branches.><Ideal for climbing,> you thought to yourself while making your way to the base of the tree.>You clambered up the trunk to the lowest branch using your beak for additional grip on the bark.>The climb wasn't too bad, even though it made you feel pretty hot already.>Ignoring the heat build-up, you proceeded to jump from branch to branch.>You used the thinner branches elasticity as a springboard to ease your climb.>You sometimes had to push yourself away in a different direction to not crash into the trunk or branches, but otherwise you were fine.>Once you were near the top, you scurried along a thick branch back towards your starting point.>It was time for the long glide back. There were some trees in the way and you weren't fully able to see the finish line...>You jumped and started to glide towards where you thought the officer was standing.>You weaved through the treetops of the small mixed forest.>The plan said that you were allowed to fly regularly until you cleared the last tree, just so you wouldn't lose too much altitude.>You dodged the gently swaying foliage with ease.>You were nimble and cutting it close was a fun way to keep you occupied.>As you flashed through, you felt one of the branches graze your right wing.>You took mental notes of other possible flight paths for the real laps, just in case it wasn't the fastest route.>Optimising this last part seemed important to catch up on lost time during the crawl and climb.
>>59052598>You reached the last tree, another fir. You flapped once more to gain some extra height, then let the wind carry you towards your target: a bright red plastic hoop on the ground next to the Swedish box.>You had found your third wire for the Case III, although your "Landing Signal Officer" seemed to not take his job very seriously, as he was just lazily looking at you with his binoculars.>You glided further towards the plastic ring, but in your mind you didn't see a meadow anymore, but a vast ocean. Your target: a CVN with a lazy LSO guiding you in your approach. "Call the Ball," it reverberated in your mind.><Firebird, clara,> you thought to yourself, amused, as you called the Ball — or rather, lack thereof.>Instinctively you adjusted your angle of attack to get the best speed for the around fifty metres to the landing zone.>You adjusted your yaw with your tail feathers ever so slightly. The wind was relentless, so you had to anticipate every gust.>"Right for lineup," your telepathic LSO instructed you.>You corrected by slightly twisting your wingtips like ailerons.>With those corrections, you misjudged the updraft created by the wind — ten metres before target, you were still a fair bit above the optimal glide path.>"You are high," You heard the LSO in your mind tell you.>You adjusted your AOA by twisting your wings slightly forwards. You dropped down onto your ideal approach.>Meanwhile, the wind continued to lash from your right. You could practically smell the salty spray in your nose.>Right before you were over the landing zone, you leaned backwards to break your momentum, flapping once to terminate your flight.>You landed slightly off-centre of the ring — second wire, drifted left...>The harsh ocean and the swaying carrier gave way to the serene, mountainous meadow once again.
>>59052607>"Aaand time!" the lefty called out. "One minute and twenty-four seconds―not too shabby, although you could glide a bit quicker...">You acknowledged his remarks with a silent nod.>The lieutenant noted down the time and a few other remarks on the sheet on his clipboard.>Both of you had a quick chat about your experience during the warm-up lap.>You told him all the difficulties you encountered and he vigilantly wrote everything down for the future bird-mon recruits.---

They were seemingly swimming around for Pokémon, no doubt.>Sneaking nearby to listen in for potential hints.>"Man, you hear about these Team Magma and Team Aqua guys?" "Yeah, they seem like bad news for Hoenn. Anyway, wanna head to Route 133? The rapids are pretty fun, the ride." "Hell yeah!">Hoenn, eh? Sounds like a good start, but before you get moving, you should probably get used to swimming.

The answer, perhaps unsurprisingly, was "yes" and it nearly blinded him. He's still trying to figure out how to tame such wild and dangerous power, and Kat doesn't seem to be in any hurry to reign herself in in the name of increasing her endurance - she'd rather just nap like the kat (heh) she is.

>>59062086i'll write moar later if anyone cares. i really wanted to just give that one guy a fishing story. goodnight thread call me bluegill i guess
>>59062101So we shall celebrate the birth of Bluegillanon! What an entry, man. It felt like one of those all-time classic innawoods stories over on /x/. I don't think I'm alone when I say: Yes, please moar!
>>59062101>Do we want moreYou bet we want more, Bluegill. Thanks for the story!
>>59061855>>59060879Due to the Japanese Naturalist rules the games operate on, clean, filtered water and organically grown food is more healthy for you than most modified nutrient-added products
>>59048319>no plan beyond pile on and prayClearly all that newfound psychic type intellect has turned VetPhox into a tacticalgeniushurrr!Not sure which is funnier, the gift or the fact that they actually make such a plushie.Also, wait a phoxcuddling minute... is she psychically communicating with her cat and filling its food bowl FROM the game store...? If so, dang, that's impressive...>>59052614>We've decided to combine the last threeTotally not because the writer got sick of this whole bit already. :^)This whole test totalling up to an hour kinda feels like they're juust starting to piece together just how ridiculous the capabilities and endurance of Pokemon actually are.>Admittedly, we only found eight weightsStill working on the logistics to properly accommodate those capabilities, mind...Once again we see Nick and birb in beautiful concordance as they both enjoy navigating the shrubberies and trees, and the imagination spot is very fun, even if some of the terminology escapes me. The little details of how Nick flies feel like you're nerding out like ProfD does with Pokemon Pit, which is always great fun. As for Nick, bro's just having the time of his life and I'm here for it.>>59052911Very interested to see how this goes once they start adding weight.>>59052958Though you still make quite a few errors, this is indeed a _much_ more interesting start. Bro got that early instalment Pokemon anime special, and I'm intrigued by the implications both that this might be our oldest protagonist to date and that such malfeasance runs in the family. There's all kinds of interesting things you could do with both of those ideas. I do kinda miss Thau eating coral and having a bit of a longer journey to find people, but overall you're definitely continuing to improve.>>59062101I'll have to do a writeup for yours later, but I'm STOKED you decided to take me up on that sailor idea, bluegillanon. Can't thank you enough for joining us on our stupid ride!
>>59063288>the Japanese Naturalist rules the games operate onThat might actually explain the strange disconnect every Pokemon generation after Gen 4 has from its predecessors. They're trying to capture more cultures without being able to understand them.
>>59063357Don't worry he's gonna still do the shanagains of the early part, just setting up a better intro for it without the whole vague god thing.
Imagine all the brands around the world taking advantage of Pokémon being de facto public domain and using them as mascots and logos. Everything from nationwide law firms to mom and pop handyman companies.
>>59065088The big companies probably wouldn't have much use for it, but the little ones would certainly drift to them naturally.

I mean that literally. >It gets a punch directly between the eyes, and yes, I'm shouting falcon punch as it falls over backwards, smoke drifting from the fist shaped dent between it's eyes.ohhellsthefuckyeah.serasvictoria>The sudden hailstorm of flying razor leaves is a whole new problem I did not expect.>Unfortunately for these angry branches of the ugly tree, I'm not stupid.>The psychic wall goes up and they all stick into it, like hitting molasses and then a thick board behind it. Ninja-stars these are not.>The fun bit is getting to snap my fingers and now we're all surrounded by that burning ring of fire keeping them all from running away.>I think they must be Tf'd rodents or something because the moment the fire comes up, they panic and begin huddling up.>Welp, there went my fightboner, if it cries you can't fuck it up, yanno?>We don't have to worry about the teddy bear cholla anymore though, clearing a firebreak to keep the trees hemmed in and not attacking people is a must here. I don't need to be going to jail for arson.>I'd rather not disappoint smokey either.>I relight my cigar after retrieving it form the first victim of their own incompetence and wander towards the store so I can atleast get myself a drink while waiting for the cops...Two Hours Later.>Hey Phox, Unmute your shit.>Fuck my chungus life...

>>59062086I'll say immediately that I really dig the use of classic greentext style, even if the first post maybe goes a BIT too heavy on the fish-themed ".jepg" cracks. The combination of a bit of the Pokemon Pit-type nerding out with the protagonist seeming to be a complete chucklefuck is an appealing combination.>spastic retard fish strengthI laughed.With this we are getting perhaps the merest glimpse into what fishermen in the Pokemon universe have to deal with every single day. I know they may seem easy to overlook, but be sure to give your local fisherman trainers their due respect, people. Bro should just be glad the endless stubbornness of man didn't Darwin Award his ass... THIS time...>i was waaaaay out of my depthYa don't say... Granted this man was hella unlucky to encounter not just a Whishcash, but an ALPHA Whishcash, from the sounds of it.>the bluegill meta is evolvingI laughed again. I'm all for another early turnee story, so that's cool, but I THINK you're gonna need something bigger than a 50 cal for a Gyarados, mate...I enjoy the romanticism of our protag's dream, and also how it feels like poetry written by a complete retard. It's honestly pretty great.>i can feel my scales shuddering, and my tail curling in fear>wait whatHappens to the best of us, mate. Is this the first time we've seen someone dream about their transformation before they first wake up to it? I might be dumb and forgetting one. Probably the fastest onset of PIPS we've seen in any event.>a milotic.. gen 4?Oooh, finna piss some people off with THAT one, Miolticanon... But hey, on the plus side, bro's finally fulfilled every 4chinner's dream of becoming a sexy beast. :^)But in all seriousness, he does seem taken with the beauty of his new form and I do wonder whether that's the instincts talking or not.
>>59066482>DropOnTheDeckAndFlopLikeAFish>Spongebob Squarepants!>who the fuck turns into a giant fish and can sleep after???Dahahahaha! Sorry, pal, you're here forever now! I do like how seamless the potential instinct intrusions (of which that desire for more sleep definitely feels like one) feel - you've got really good narrative flow.Apparently driving a boat is way easier than driving a car. Definitely always good for the human half to get their problem-solving hat on right after the transformation.>easy breezy beautiful. covereelI mean this is definitely in the running for the funniest story we've had so far. Solid comedic stylings in this one too. To be fair to the dockhand, if a giant water serpent politely asked you to fetch their things, wouldn't you?>Rarity voiceFuck yesYeah this is among the solidest of starts that we've had to be sure, Bluegill. Like I said, I'm absolutely overjoyed to see you pick that idea up. Between you and Copanon, some of our best stuff's been borne out of my intense love of getting distracted by shiny idea objects and I honestly couldn't be happier or more grateful.>>59065509Pretty sure you could pet stuff with your tail if you were careful, Miloticanon.>oh yeah, bottom of the bayYou know, just casually-like. Oooh, being down there in a sea serpent body DOES sound super-cozy, though. Maybe he and Golisanon can compare notes. Bro's attitude towards the yachter feels very relatable. The guy may look like a douche, but that doesn't mean he deserves to be washed away in a storm... doesn't mean we can't troll him a little while we do our good deed for the day, though... Being a hero but being a bit of a jackass about it definitely seems fitting for Milotic. the .jpeg bits here feel much better implemented than they did in post 1.>oh i said that out loudYou really don't miss with the comedy, do you Bluegill? The "mermaid eel voice" part damn near made Phoxanon cack his pants. You are a TALENT, sir.

Me and Anon are here!”>>”Be right there! Hit the showers will ya? It’s probably a bit ripe for our guest here.”>A gravelly voice called out clearly but from no where in particular, as if it emanated from everywhere at once>Your gf hit a comically large industrial red button next to the light switch and the misters overhead sprung to life>The entire covered area, including both of you, was doused with some chemical>>”I’m so happy to finally meet you Anon! My little princess here talks all about you.”>The voice was louder this time but still impossible to place>Suddenly, the chair lurched back as if someone flopped onto it before rotating around into place>”Someone” had jumped onto it, but it wasn’t a personk>It was a mound of filth capped with the plastic from a trash bag, with two far too human eyes and a far too inhuman mouth underneath>>”How are you doing baby? Come give daddy a hug!”
>>59066545>i suppose that's the normal reactionAgain... ya don't say...I love Miloticanon giving the rando unsolicited fishing gear shopping advice - that's great.>what the fuck did I just seeThat, my fair rainbow trout, is what we in the business like to call a "Gyarados". I am, to say the least, intrigued.>>59065519Please do. This is just... -chef's kiss- Think you could throw your stuff in a rentry to make my job a little easier later on? Mareanieanon might want to do that as well if you want your illustrations in the archive like how Kartanon has them, >>59064312 .>>59065360Right, right. She's still very impressive though.And speaking of impressive... gawdamn, she might even give Lucarioanon a run for his money... RIP fightboner, but I think I'm starting to understand why the spooks are so interested in VetPhox specifically... Jeeze... The inevitable choppy internet video that's going to get uploaded of this is going to be fire (pun very much intended)... the DISRESPECT of that cigar move...>Unmute your shitEven when she's at a zenith of absurd otherworldly power, Phox is still 100% pure mood. And it's glorious.>>59066445Again, will write this one up later but holy damn does this one look fun too. Where Hell did all this peak suddenly come from? Not that I'm complaining...
>>59066572>Your gf walked over to the heap and gingerly wrapped an arm around it in a side hug before placing a kiss on the plastic.>>”So you must be Anon. What do you think of my deodorizing system? Pretty sweet huh? Completely non-toxic! Oh what am I doing? Let me get you guys something to sit on. Just a moment.”>The pile raised a grotesque claw made out of mufflers and cans that give the illusion of fingers>As if controlling the refuse like a god commanding the waves, a lightly torn sofa rose up out of the piles of garbage and slid down the pile until it came to rest in front of the desk>A coffee table with a fractured glass top followed after and settled in exactly the spot you would expect>>”Don’t worry, all my private selections may look worse for wear, but they’re perfectly safe and clean. Trust me, I know my pieces of trash. I guess it takes one to know one eh? HAHAhahaha!”>”Oh daddy.”>You really hoped your mouth wasn’t agape and you weren’t staring, but you were too stunned to know for sure>At some point, you had sat down on the couch next to your GF without realizing>>”So Anon, how’s life treating you? As you can see, I’m kind of down in the Dumps! HAHAhahaha! Sorry, the jokes come easy when you’re a Garbodor. You’ve got to laugh or cry in these situations and I’m tired of being sad.”“I-uh, guess I can’t complain. Thank you for having your daughter invite me here to meet you.”>>”No problem at all. I love meeting new people, especially when they’re getting cozy with my family. But don’t worry, this isn’t one of those WHAT ARE YOUR INTENTIONS WITH MY DAUGHTER things.”>As he shouted that last part in a booming voice, an antique looking shotgun sprung up behind him, supported by a spire of mud, and cocked itself for dramatic effect before falling back down>He leaned forward and got more serious.
>>59066639>>”As you can see, this new living arrangement of mine gives me control over pretty much everything here. I can sense everything here and know instantly its condition since it’s technically a part of me. I’ve been digging up some of your dirt, hope you don’t mind.

Welp, so long as /sip/ is alive and riding high here, this seems like as good a time as any to announce that I'm currently laying the foundations for a tabletop RPG campaign that is open to all /sip/ authors. Using the Pokeymanz system (a rules lite system that focuses more on bringing across the feel of Pokemon rather than its mechanics - this is no "only grognards need apply" deal like Pokemon Tabletop Adventures), I'm endeavouring to bring to life a setting I've been putting together for a while now - Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Moderne. PMDM is set in the future of the Mystery Dungeon world as we know it from Super Mystery Dungeon, with the Pokemon having achieved a ca. 1990 level of technological progress. The campaign will focus around a treasure hunt for lost secrets and artefacts buried deep beneath a bustling metropolis situated on the southern tip of the Water Continent. Fun - if rather dangerous - adventure below ground will be counterbalanced by gentle slice-of-life beats on the surface, as the players get to know the city and all the weird little quirks and innovations the information age brings to a Pokemon-built society.We will be using a play-by-post model, whereby players contribute via text to the current scene in the story when and as they can. This avoids the often insurmountable problems of trying to arrange session times.If you'd be interested in joining, let me know and myself and the other peeps already signed up (which currently consists of Phoxanon, Mienshanon, Kartanon, and Herdinganon) will arrange to send you the credentials of a dummy Discord account you can contact. Alternatively, we can arrange to run the campaign via Element/Matrix if a majority of players would prefer that.Please note that I only intend this to be a fun side activity for the silly little community we've built here - not any sort of substitute or replacement for /sip/. Peeps who agree to participate are strongly encouraged to prioritize /sip/ over the campaign.
>>59066685>More ProfD coming soon, just woke up with an idea from a dream and had to get it out before I lost it.Looking forward to it!
>>59066619Things will only get weirder before they get clearer.>I'm staring at my Tv screen as the previous nights fight plays out in slow motion while being narrated by some kid thinking they're the next steve irwin. >'No watch as the Apex Predator demonstrates dominance upon a swarm of sentient kindling by putting out it's cigar in the face of the first attacker, innit she a beaut?'.>This is complete with them zooming in as the cigar remained stuck to the first trees face as it ran around in panicked circles screaming as the wood smouldered out from the cigar.>My ears slowly pin back as I try to hide the grin, ok. that was just rude of me, but it looked damned cool.>There is a knock at the door and something slides under my door.>I float the paper over and make a strangled noise of amused surprise.>It's hand written, only a location, a time, and the words 'we don't talk about pokefight club' written in neon pink.>A quick check of the clock and I swear to god my tail is not thumping the couch like an excited chihuahua seeing a leaf it has a 50/50 chance to fighting and winning.>I tell myself I am not going to participate in what going to probably be the bestworste decision of my life as I stretch.

If you were turned into a Pokémon and there were pet care guides for your new species, would you read them, or would you find it demeaning?

I had fun with this installment, even if i had to cut back on the comedy a bit :p. i would've posted yesterday but the inspiration well was bone dry, luckily netflix's one piece did laboon so well i got a few ideas. at this point i know where i'm going with this particular story which means i can fuck around as much as i want on the road there! desu picturing tje story in my head gave me the heebie jeebies again from actual shit i've gotten into during my short stints at and around the sea so.>>59066482>>59066545>>59066619again, thanks a ton for tha luv amd feedback! honestly knowing ppl enjoy my stupid wisecracks make me want to keep going. also i totally did pull from golisopodanon's PIPS instincts with water pressure and depth. i would imagine golisanon's would be more extreme since the isopadre itself is more of an abyssal mon and milotic is supposed to be freshwater/brackish. serious about the fishing gear, though. basspro sells overstock and clearance to smaller tackle shops. great deals on swim bait for the same quality.>>59071462join me in fresh fish hell

It's all just pitch-perfect.>I guess it takes one to know one eh?>Sorry, the jokes come easy when you’re a Garbodor. You’ve got to laugh or cry in these situations and I’m tired of being sad.I want SO BADLY to know how this guy initially reacted to his transformation...This guy clearly has a flare for the dramatic given the shotgun thing. I'd love to see him put an entire play portrayed solely through the medium of rubbish.>nothing invasiveMe when I I lie. At least he's nice about it, but still... you're KINDA Big Brothering it up right now, garbage man... Don't get me wrong, I respect you and would follow you to the ends of the Earth, but this still needs to be said.But hey, in the end bro is thoughtful and swell. Flawed, but appealingly human and a very engaging personality. I honestly wouldn't mind reading more of this, Prof, even though I know this was only meant as a one-shot. How many times have I said that in these threads by now...?
>>59067847>rude but coolI think that summarizes you in a nutshell, VetPhox...Her sincere excitement at the prospect of Pokefight club mirrors my own. We got a glimpse of this sort of thing when Larson and Kurt busted that Honedge and Tyrantrum, but getting a more full-fledged, start-to-finish insight into how it work is going to be incredibly fun. It's also just been generally rare to see transformees battling for fun in /sip/ - the stakes have usually been more life-and-death. I'm curious about so many things - how it'll work, how it'll look, whether VetPhox will dominate or if it'll turn out that she's merely been a big fish in a small pond this entire time, whether the cops will try to bust them, and whether her glee is purely her own or if some of that Delphox instinct she normally has well-restricted is leaking out here.>I tell myself I am not going to participatePull the other one - it plays Jingle Bells.>I lost the goons tailing me.I'd still love to get a side one-shot from the perspective of the Keystone Spooks trying and failing to wrangle this floofy, adorable threat to national security. Not sure why the fight club being in a campground is ironic, though. There's only so many places you COULD do something like this.>I even have seen some of them in the newsOooh, do tell!Hehe, sounds like Phox is enjoying being just one of the peeps and not the absolute center of attention for once. Dis gun be FUN...

Classic.>shark fleeingYeeeah, that's never a good sign...Aww, Miloticanon snuggling a seal sounds adorable! Dig the horror movie vibes as he and old mate can only watch helplessly while this Gyarados aurafarms. I'm wondering how exactly old mate is proposing they catch this thing considering Miloticanon had no battle experience and is, at best, understandably nervy at the prospect. Maybe you guys need to put a help-wanted ad out for an electric type...This bit's honestly held back a little by stuff that was skipped, but I'm REALLY looking forward to the moment when Miloticanon is forced to sack up and actually try to fight this thing. That's gonna be very, very interesting...
>>59072480>>59072405>>59072288It’s a touch strange that he’s taking everyone in such stride, including the speech filter and abandoning his life on land (or is he forced to live underwater for biological reasons and I missed that?). On the other hand, we have enough post transformation angst from other writers that it’s nice to see a straight adventure.
>Me when I wake up tomorrow morning
>>59072556Hehe. The only difference between stupidity and wit is presentation a lot of the time. Slice of goodness in-between the action beats sounds good to me. Kinda curious wether this seal is slated for a one letter name change if you follow me...>>59076131Pffft, because course a cop decided to wrestle a Bouffalant just because he could...Wait, who the Hell showers with their MRE spoon?Between the Jigglypuff and the self-lighting bonfires, they've got the right dramatic flair, but I feel like a chaotic free-for-all loses some of the potential spectacle of Pokemon battling. Folks oughta be watching the flashy, impressive moves and taking bets. Just my two cents.Again with the utter disrespect, but VetPhox quickly learns that she's playing in the big leagues now. Almost getting BTFOed by a rat is a harsh lesson she shan't soon forget. Rat did get a bit lucky he wasn't immobilised by the recharge turn though. Maybe that was the Ketamine.I love the fact that VetPhox's stick being on fire is completely ancillary until the Gurrdurr shows up. Call it a relapse if you like, but becoming a Pokemon is kind of an intrinsic, permanent relapse under the circumstances...>hear the air reject realityEven in anime, all that force has gotta go somewhere....With all this fresh head trauma, let's just hope Pokemon don't get CTE. It seems clear all of VetPhox's usual showboatiness is, in this situation, just making her a bigger target. Seems no small part of her likes it that way, though... I'd still like to see her in a more conventional Pokemon battle, but hopefully she finds what she was looking for by coming here.>>59079126He seems to have moderately severe PIPS and I get the sense he was already a bit of a loner before he transformed, making the bottom of the bay the ultimate NEET cave. Fair suggestion that bluegill could explore that a bit more, though.

>>59077620Stuck, not stick. Anyways, just tell the boss he had a "personal emergency". While the jokes are obvious and I'm sure the rest of the thread ignored your post for being "too fetishy", I at least thought it was amusing.>>59077735I mean a kiddie pool would be more than big enough for your wee flying squirrel ass, wouldn't it? You could always get yourself one of those until you learn to properly control your powers (we've seen electric types swimming without incident plenty of times, so we know it's possible). At least no one was seriously hurt, it sounds like. Don't beat yourself up too much, man - mistakes happen.>>59086267Oh mai. Are mariner protagonists of various sorts going to become a trend? I am 100% in for this to be a trend. Poke submarine crew member next, dare I dream?>home country>Begins sentences with "is"Slavic protag? Oooh, this'll be a fun perspective on the phenomenon'll be a fun one to hear from.>but is better than being size of sardine, no?I like this one already.Huh. Meltans, huh? Seems rather unlucky they just happened to get a cluster of them in this vicinity. >best practice according to the Slav is wrenching Meltans around by their hex nutsOfff course. Hmm, deep water with lots of teeth... Huntail...? Or maybe not even a Pokemon at all. Either way, a rather unfortunate day to have lungs. Thank Arceus for Slavic stocism in the face of everything being dogshit, huh? Good deeds may seldom go rewarded, but this time... this time the phenomenon had other ideas... Gotta say, Hulk-bursting out of your diving suit is one helluva way to transform into a Pokemon.
>>59086661>notice is of cannon barrel. Two, even>Feel like part of meTankies everywhere WISHING they were this diver right about now. The point about the outside matching the inside is interesting - superficial observations of water pressure aside, it sounds like we have another Nick situation where the choice of Pokemon was extremely ideal for the person - hope to see that expanded upon if you decide to continue this. Also the fact that Blastoiseanon immediately starts using them as carry holders - I love it.>I have a job to do so I am going to do such>Overtime pay is going to be very generous.Man, when your reaction to transforming into a Pokemon is, "Welp, better finish my work and get this bread", that isn't merely Slavic stoicism, that is... advanced Slavic stoicism... I'm not sure on the realism of it taking them two hours to send a rescue party (or, more properly, a body retrieval party), but I'll just assume it's correct - gotta do lots of special prep-work for this kinda dive, I'm guessing?>for once thankful had foresightBetter to have it and not need it, right? Love how even after finishing the work Blastoiseanon is more concerned with food than they are about the whole Pokemon thing.>Swolla has evolved into Blastoise.>And then I panic.>I don't know how to of swim as turtle.First of all, as the other anon said, quite funny. Second of all, ahhh, so you ARE capable of such emotions after all I see, Swolla. Bit of a weird name, would that be Mr. or Mrs. Swolla? Heh, anyways, man, I can really only imagine what Frank and John must've been thinking in this moment.This is a great and very engaging start, with TONS of potential for where it could go. Really hope to see you write more.
>>59086661>I mean a kiddie pool would be more than big enough for your wee flying squirrel ass, wouldn't it?anon, look at me. honestly.in what world would someone living alone, no pets, buying a kiddie pool seem normal. and better yet how am I going to move it where it needs to go? not like I've got a back garden to put it in.
>>59086661>>59086663Wasn't entirely certain how Swolla'd be received, however I'll probably post more, the idea hit me and of course, couldn't help but base this on a Tortle D&D character I ran once. Mystic barbarians are hilariously fun.
>>59086310Figures it’d be one of the body horror mons. I’ll stick to fantasizing.

>>59087656Here's the updated FAQ that I posted earlier again: >FAQ>What is this?People are turning into Pokemon. Some are having the time of their lives, and some are struggling to survive. These are their stories.>How do I join?Just start posting.>What's the lore?People and animals (and at least one tree) are changing at random in their sleep, waking up still in the real world, but now as Pokemon, and nobody knows why (that includes you. Please don't try to explain it). Just enough transformations are occurring to notably change day-to-day life without collapsing civilization. This is not the apocalypse, even if it might feel like it to some characters in the moment. Some people are more in touch with their instincts than others, and some have lost more of their humanity than others. That's about it. Avoid legendaries if possible.>What the Hell is PIPS?In many of the stories, the scientific community in-unvierse has begun referring to Pokemon instincts and the loss of humanity some people who transform experience as Pokémon Induced Psychosis Syndrome, or PIPS. The term is explained in more detail here: https://rentry.org/sip-concepts-Archive changelog:- Updated VetPhox rentry, updated one-shot paste with the Lloyds of London, LLM, Pombon, Garbodor Dad, and Arcanine Coworker stories, and updated spicy one-shots with the Slowking and Mitchell Mimikyu stories. Do be aware that Mitchell the Mimikyu is open source and free for anyone to use.- Updated archive with Emolganon, Miloticanon, and Swolla the Blastoise- Moved Herding Cats to archive...Man, we TONS of new content this thread, didn't we? You lot are so incredible it's actually absurd.>>59086817I am looking at you, mate. Did you already forget that you're a smol, adorable flying squirrel now? If you don't have anywhere for a kiddie pool fair enough, but NOBODY'S gonna bat an eye if you did buy one.>>59086946Again, weird name for a human to have, but she seems awesome so far otherwise.
>>59087672>Did you already forget that you're a smol, adorable flying squirrel now?I am TRYING to have at least a little self respect. I can excuse the walnut stockpiling because I liked those anyway, and the climbing stuff because... come on now. and MAYBE I've mistook a doll or two in my collection for another PIPS case once or twice.but I have to draw a line somewhere.
>>59087656>>59087672Thanks for putting these together again, man.
>>59087656I think you misplaced Churchanon's story again, Macho. Also thank you for being our dedicated archivist!
>>59087672More of a nickname, than an actual name.Imagine a Swole slavic/discount Russian bodybuilder that's a cinnamon bun on the inside but just looks like she'd break you, and enjoy doing it.
>>59088690>>59088690>>59088690Think I got it all right this time
>>59088707Looks good, thanks
