Hey, can I have one? I'm interested. Make it good.

You'll primarily be using this, as previously mentioned, for Sturdy + Metal Burst due to the fact that it lacks Head Smash; it's still pretty strong objectively but its use falls off rather drastically late game (as it is slow and most of the gyms have SE moves against it) so it's more of a one-time take-out-boss or ace Pokemon, unless you run Rock Polish + 3 Attacks (which again, is a shame without Head Smash)

Oh, Kuroshitsuji? It's personally rather objective. The Victorian era is depicted really well, characters are likeable (and hot) at a glance though Sebastian is kind of a Mary Sue (unless you watch BB2) and you can even make a case that Ciel is pretty much Bruce Wayne as a twelve year old with an eye patch (with Sebby pretty much doing the Mary Sue shit for him). The anime adaption had some holes in in though the twist was pretty fun in Kuroshitsuji 2 where they introduced anime-exclusive characters, and I generally enjoyed the manga much more than I did the manga (primarily because the "I'll take you soul thing" and "revenge fulfilled" arc is not established, unlike the one in the anime that wasn't done the best way. It's still really good, but objectively not everyone would appreciate it.

Baixue Baixue struggled to cushion the drastic swirl of events that had just occurred before her. The fact that such a vicious battle had ended would have seemed a respite for Baixue – yet not a sigh or a relieved expression sat on her exterior, even as the fight was halted – she found the methods of stopping the fight to be rather extreme. At least no more strife would persist for the day, wouldn’t it….? Why did my first experience in the outside world have to start with such vehemence? The hungry wolves of the tundra back in her homeland in Aquillo paled in comparison to the strife she had just witnessed. Then again, Baixue was not one exposed to war and animosity – not with her loving family, her mother and her grandmother whom had made the harsh winter lands the warmest haven a young lass would desire. Part of her remained grateful – with a mix of fear and hesitation – of the ignorance she had about violence, violence that would be inevitable and a necessary evil for sake of the cause she was informed of. She tore off the necks of animals and skinned them for food, but this? The scavenging customs of the tundra – that of for one to live and survive is to take, to take from animals and the increasingly scarce resource in the bitter cold -- were completely different. They had to fight. Blood had to be spilled, and lives -- lives of people and humans may be sacrificed for the cause. While part of her was grateful to know of the implications and severity of the situation early, she had not wanted it to be first experiences engraved outside her homeland. Yet this was supposed to be friendly combat practice, not a belliferous spar! Her mind grunted contemptuously at the battlers’ unconscientiousness – her voice ached in her throat as the battle had formerly ensued, wanting to scream for them to stop this madness and bellicism, only for her to forcefully swallow her voice down. It had gone too far -- much too far -- and she was in no place to intervene, adding to the fact that bad an idea it was to endanger herself for her own principles. She had thoroughly analysed every combatant and assailant who had participated, going through each individual one by one as she reflected the events of the battle, an acerbic taste lingering in her mouth. A bacchante – was a psychopath a more appropriate description for her, Baixue wondered -- whose flames swayed with her instrument; the control of fire from music? Baixue couldn’t put her finger on how that worked, but that violent mass of a girl had attempted to murder two people when that violent battle had ensued. Baixue made a mental note to be wariest of her; an apology wasn’t enough to convince her that she was anything less than dangerous. Then there was the one who fired electrical spheres – and the rest of them had some form of manipulation towards their respective elements – knives, light, and was that gravity? So many questions, all feeding and tugging onto Baixue’s curiosity, yet with so little answers. And then there was the one other guy that got played with like a club…...more alien and foreign abilities, this time utilized rather impractically..... Everyone’s abilities were idiosyncratic, and part of her pestered to know of what these people were capable of doing, but the tense atmosphere superseded her curiosity at that moment. She found it difficult to find relief within her heavy disappointment – heavy disappointment that her first experiences away from the tundra lands had to begin in such a gauche and disheartening manner. She had come here with a heart of jubilee with expectations of wonderful new experiences to satiate her never-ending curiosity, a new haven for learning -- but was greeted instead with violence and destruction. What a way to begin my first experiences outside Aquillo, she thought. Was it wrong to have come here after all? She found herself missing her home more after all, where her guardians’ berceuse and the tales of the great Aqui had nurtured her sweetest dreams. Perhaps the great Aqui would be the one to guide her in cleansing the world of the impending dangers and strife that were to befall everything – Baixue had come her for that very reason, to find the being that had seemingly bestowed Baixue with her power. Running a hand through her aurora-hued braid, Baixue finally managed a sigh as everyone was dismissed to their dorms and as the additional rules and regulations were explained. Some of them who had gathered there had started to introduce themselves and acquaint with one other, but Baixue was simply too upset in that moment of time to even speak, her footsteps slow and her exterior despondent and gloomy as she headed towards one of the dorms, hoping that rest, or even a few moments of flight in the night – restricted as the area was – would manage to soothe her of these troubles.

Damn, I've put this off for too long that I have so much content to read.....I'll drop a post soonish.

An interesting poem. You depict the contrasting elements of the existing Russian landscape well, but you seem to incline the poem more towards lamentation, which I would assume would be the main idea of the poem; the poem mentions twice that the persona "is suffering through the cold", despite the warmth existing, only for it to resurface in the end, bringing it back to "there are two sides to a coin" thematic element, which personally is fine, but what was the main idea -- is the landscape supposed to be one that makes you sad or happy, or is it more of a neutral stance depicting its goods and bads?

Does Pokemon have Anti-Gravity outside of Magnet Rise though? How would it be justified? I'm mostly interested in this because I might try out a game but want the logic in being able to stop a large pile of large exploding balls falling from the sky. Also, what are your favourite works of music? Do you have a playlist?

Steel is a safe bet, at least with what's speculated to be coming out in terms of important battles/gyms. You have fast stuff but more slow stuff so Trick Room Bronzong seems like a strong bet and Bronzong is pretty much one of the top tier Steels to use due to strong defensive typing, and it can hit decently well (kinda). Just go Heart Scale Extrasensory on it. Heal Block isn't really helpful as the duration isn't reliable (usually). You also have a strong focus on Water type Pokemon and rain so you could go fish/grind for a Poliwag and get a Politoed (you have to grind Hawlucha at Route 2 for King's Rock pretty much) if you want automatic Rain.

Speaking in terms of their current usefulness in Reborn, Magnezone generally offers more utility apart from the aforementioned Electric types other than Speed being low. It has the best damage output with the highest SpA and Analytic, it has Sturdy + Thunder Wave/MIrror Coat to deal with hard to deal with boss fights such as El's Ditto-Arceus and Pulse Swalot, and the like. Manectric is more suited to a sweeping role and you'll want to avoid physical moves on it and instead try for moves such as Flamethrower or Hidden Power Ice/Grass, the former being only obtainable via older episodes.

This song is addicting save me

My personal experience with Mac is that it isn't open and easy to use when you want to open common Windows Apps on it, even with Wine. Windows has made things easier for me ever since I've transitioned from Mac to Windows.

I've recently decided to check this out and the game's great. I'm actually more interested in the music even though it sometime gets mildly extreme at some areas. Is there a list of what songs you used?

These are Pokemon, not bombs. You can let them explode in the air, but that'll just leave a rain of heavy Pokemon falling down from the sky anyway and that's what I'm trying to avoid -- fullproof scenario. And can the Psychic of a Pokemon not named Mewtwo accomplish lifting that heavy mass falling from the sky at great speeds in time? Anyways, what's your most valued piece of artwork/writing that you've made yourself?

Basically the start of November to be free of distractions. Rather than saying I'll be completely inactive I'll mostly just be limiting my computer time to an hour or two every few days maybe, so I might still post in that interval -- just don't expect frequent response during that.
