  1. I'd most likely either make myself more sports oriented (Playing them specifically) or I'd make myself straight. I'd probably choose to be straight simply because of the appeal of not living a life of struggle over something I never asked for.

  2. Sadly, this is very true as well. Speaking as a Canadian, I didn't hear hardly any stories of children being thrown from their homes based on their sexual orientation, but there were many here, and in America as well. As a family man, I couldn't imagine being cast out of my family based on something I had no power over. I also couldn't imagine how alone those people must have felt/do feel.

    Like fear. A lie. Like you morph yourself into something you're not and live that lie in fear of whatever the hell could happen to you. And then you peek out from behind the lie thinking "Maybe it's safe?" then you can't tell because there seems to be mixed signals coming from all over the damn place like you're in the middle of a damn minefield with a broken minesweeper. That lie then follows you everywhere until it becomes a part of you and you can't even bring yourself to be yourself because you've gotten so used to it just being a thing.

    It sucks. It really does.

  3. I feel like this thread is necessary for the continuation of society...


    I don't know if you guys know this or not, but I'm not straight. However, I do not feel like this should place me or other gay people on this path to be reduced down to little more than the label that has been assigned to us. I am so tired of being treated like my sexuality is some sort of indicator that there are certain things that I'm just unable to do or that I am so much different from them. I am sick of people acting like I'm a completely different species because of this one minuscule fact. I'm a person just like you or your sibling or that sociopath down the street. I don't come with some sort of special ingredients like some premium meal at McDonalds. Having said that, I'm just making this so I can resolve at least one major issue that I've come across and so that in the future you can come at me upright and not result in a conversation that makes me want to go full Solaris and Dragon Rush you and also to just speak on behalf of other gay people who deal with this issue because I know that I am not the only gay person who is a part of the STRUGGLE.


    Now, this applies to all double standardization that is so common, but the topic I want to address today is this apparent belief that gay men are just unable to find women attractive or admire them in some way. Yes, being gay means that I find men sexually attractive. Yes, it means that I would rather date a guy over a girl in most situations. No, it does not mean that I'm completely unable to appreciate a woman's beauty or find her attractive, physically or otherwise. If you think that then you might as well think that straight guys can't find another man attractive in some form and can only be attracted to women, but we all know this isn't true and no one questions it when a man does appreciate another male's beauty. This is an annoying and rather single minded belief is apparently more common than it seems, and both non-members and members of the LGBT community hold it. It may seem "odd" that someone who is attracted to the same sex would find someone of the opposite sex attractive, but that doesn't mean that it's something that's just completely incapable of happening and that doesn't mean that you need to question it if and when it does happen. A mindset like that is like thinking that just because I'm a soccer player I can't be interested in basketball or, if you want to get more precise, I can only be attracted to other soccer players. Do you see how foolish that sounds? Being gay doesn't automatically turn someone off to all things of the opposite sex. Gay people are more complex than just their sexuality may imply and sexuality in general is more complex than whatever label people may assign to it. This isn't Divergent. We don't pick a faction in our teenage years and remain with that faction until we die without any opportunity to branch out and visit other factions or explore other areas of life. As such, I ask that we do not act as though that is the case with sexuality either. I ask that we do not act like one simple word can explain the entire way a person thinks and take a minute to learn about them and see things through their eyes instead going off some preconceptions or misguided beliefs that we've gathered and are likely not true.

  4. I'm usually pretty good about waking up. Often times I wake up by myself at the same time everyday. I just open my eyes and give everything a quick second to start running. One of the things I like is that I'm pretty quick to get the engine running and grasp everything going around and get my mind right after waking up. My first thing to do is check here, but I sometimes will just go back to sleep if I have nothing to do or anything planned to do just because I can.

  5. I'm only good at making stuff on Photoshop, and I finally got my own copy, so I decided to take a tutorial and add a little Reborn flare to it.

  6. [17:56:16] Conqueror Kyo slaps Wendel

    [17:56:18] Conqueror Kyo: Oops

    [17:56:20] WendelM: QAQ

    WendelM left

    [17:56:21] WendelM started to bleed heavily and passed out.

    WendelM joined

    [17:56:25] Conqueror Kyo: Damn

    [17:56:28] WendelM: wow

    [17:56:28] Conqueror Kyo: I slapped him hard

    [17:56:32] WendelM: That was a hard slap


    Let that be a lesson to all who oppose me. My slaps are the slaps of death.

  7. I was kinda asked to do this, so I acquiesced. Here's my latest team. It's done me some good. After I started with this one, I climbed from the 1390s to 1509 on the Showdown OU ladder. So, tell me what you think.


    445f.gif

    Solomon (Garchomp) (M) @ Lum Berry

    Ability: Rough Skin

    EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe

    Jolly Nature

    - Stealth Rock

    - Swords Dance

    - Dragon Claw

    - Earthquake



    Solomon serves as my Stealth Rock setter/sweeper. I usually lead with him if I feel that it's safe enough and if a large portion of my opponent's team is weak to rocks. If not, then I take the chance to get off a Swords Dance from a likely switch and proceed to spam Dragon Claw. Coming off 2x, it hits like a truck and few things can shrug it off and I've gotten 6-0s from just SDing and then using Dragon Claw repeatedly. (Provided they have no fairies or steel types). The Lum Berry is just to give me a free setup in case they try to cripple me with status and prevent him from sweeping.

    Nimbus (Manaphy) @ Lum Berry

    Ability: Hydration

    Shiny: Yes

    EVs: 96 HP / 252 SpA / 160 Spe

    Timid Nature

    - Tail Glow

    - Scald

    - Energy Ball

    - Ice Beam


    Nimbus is my closest thing to a Greninja replacement and I have Skitty to thank for my new found love of it. Manaphy can destroy an entire team after a single Tail Glow and has the added benefit of Energy Ball which allows me to demolish people who think they can just switch in Rotom on me and try to stop me in my tracks. Lum Berry to shrug off any status and guarantee a safe Tail Glow in the event of one and since anything not called Burn will pretty much cripple it. Mostly running speed and special attack to try and outspeed most things. I don't feel like max speed is completely necessary since the current set gives it 303 speed which is faster than most things it deals with and anything that Manaphy can't counter usually outspeeds it anyway. (Looking at you Thundurus)

    Broseidon (Slowbro) (M) @ Slowbronite

    Ability: Regenerator

    EVs: 248 HP / 252 Def / 8 SpA

    Bold Nature

    - Scald

    - Psyshock

    - Slack Off

    - Calm Mind


    The king of the bros is something I just added on a whim because I wanted to be a trolly bastard that tanked anything physical. He's there to just sponge everything and then dish out burns to whatever happens to be in the way. I run Calm Mind to give it some sweep potential but more for the ability to sponge special attacks too since his SpDef is middling at best. He's saved me a couple times, and often when he was the last man standing.

    Samson (Conkeldurr) (M) @ Assault Vest

    Ability: Guts

    Shiny: Yes

    EVs: 144 HP / 252 Atk / 56 SpD / 56 Spe

    Adamant Nature

    - Drain Punch

    - Mach Punch

    - Knock Off

    - Poison Jab


    Samson is another one of my hard hitters. I wanted a bulky mon who could also dish out the hurt, and he was my best candidate. Drain Punch for recovery and Mach for priority. Knock Off is to scare away any careless switching and allows me to break some mons by removing their items and Poison Jab is for those pesky fairies who think they can just charge in without any consequences. Assault Vest lets me survive some Hyper Voices or whatever else may come blasting my way and the entire set is a hopes that they'll try to status me in the thoughts that it's an Iron Fist Conk and not a Guts one.

    Blaze (Talonflame) (M) @ Salac Berry

    Ability: Gale Wings

    Shiny: Yes

    EVs: 88 HP / 252 Atk / 168 Spe

    Jolly Nature

    - Brave Bird

    - Flare Blitz

    - Swords Dance

    - Natural Gift


    Blaze is another one of my hard hitters, I usually run a choice band set but I've opted out of that for a little bit of "innovation". I often get a lot of Heatran switching into my Talon, so I decided that maybe I could use that to my advantage. Staple Brave Bird and Flare Blitz because what is Talonflame without his two STAB moves. Swords Dance lets me boost my attack to something sweep worthy and allows BB spam if applicable but it also serves the purpose of letting Natural Gift actually OHKO something. Salac Berry lets me use a 100BP Fighting type move and and OHKO both Tyranitar and Heatran after a SD and it's always fun to imagine the looks on the person's face when their Heatran disappears at the hand(or would it be talon?) of a Talonflame.

    212.gif

    Striker (Scizor) (M) @ Leftovers

    Ability: Technician

    EVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 Def

    Impish Nature

    - Bullet Punch

    - Swords Dance

    - Roost

    - Defog


    Striker is my defogger. Before the modifications, my team was very susceptible to Stealth Rocks and would often break my Sashes and Multiscales. I couldn't have that so enter Scizor. As the team changed, he's not really needed as much but hazards can especially be an issue and SR still screws Talonflame, so he gets to stay. I run max HP and Def just to give him longevity when he's forced to Defog and Roost makes sure that he can stay alive for as long as possible. I took a different root when I did the rest of his set though because I felt like messing around a bit and it's had some rather humorous and interesting results. Instead of running Knock Off, I decided to put SD on it for a couple reasons. One, it dissuades people from thinking it's a Defog set so they're not expecting it to tank Earthquakes from Landorus-T. I also felt like I could do some major damage with a +6 STAB Technician Bullet Punch regardless of if you resisted it or not. (I was right, at +6 even Ferrothorn doesn't want to stay in for too long.) The fact that it completely neglected Scizor's pathetic speed was a plus too. This actually led to some interesting DBZ style scenarios with someone trying to take me down with a move and me just Roosting off the Damage then getting a SD. By the time they decided that maybe it was good to switch, I was at FULL POWER and proceeded to destroy the rest of the team.


    Conclusion: This is a team of bulky and frail setup sweepers minus Conkeldurr who's just a bulky sweeper. It's done me some good, and I've gotten to a respectable (in my opinion) place on the ladder with it and had some hilarious encounters too. It's really heavy on setup which is a drawback, but it still gets the job done. So, tell me what you think.
