Welcome to My World

Reblogged

My reason for Sobexl having to use an anagram of Belos instead of Philip despite not wanting to is fourfold.

First, the Joker's in charge of this operation, and being a Gotham villain (and one without a solid civilian identity) he'd likely favor Villain Names over real ones.

Second, if you spend almost 400 years using a name... that kind of becomes your name.

Third... there is just no way to make a Nobody name out of Philip that doesn't look and sound stupid.

And fourth... I just think putting him through annoying indignities is funny and cathartic.

Honestly? Fair, fair,, put that jerk through indignities!!

Meanwhile,, I am going to strangle Tumblr. For a while. Because why am I NOT GETTING NOTIFS

Shells of Metal and Mud

In an effort to recruit more members of the Circus of Apathy, the three founding members, with assistance from Team Galactic, decide to search within the very Server that Nobodies originate from; specifically, within the Underworld of Greece. Meanwhile the Teen Squad are testing their skills in an unofficial tournament up in Olympus Colosseum.

The most promising recruits the Circus find are two souls (or rather, one rotting mudball of a soul and a horrific amalgamation of stolen memories that's just barely magically potent enough to pass as one) locked deep within the bowels of Tartarus, ones wretched enough that even Hades and Maleficent wouldn't think to try using them. But, this is the Joker we're talking about, emotions or no emotions.

Once they've got the souls and have identified them, they get to work on Vessels for their Minds and Spirits to inhabit (though not the Hearts, obviously). The first gets a blank Replica, while the second gets a Worker Drone body, both of which are created by Charon (for the record, the Team Galactic members they have aren't Nobodies...yet). The Replica becomes one Philip "Belos" Wittebane, while the Drone becomes the newest host of the Core of the Newtopian Empire, with enough of an imprint from its previous host to retain the Darcy persona.

Due largely to a lack of alternatives (and in Belos's case a belief that them resurrecting him was a gift from God), the two begrudgingly agree to join the Circus, taking on the names Sobexl ("so-bezel") and Roxec ("Roz-eck"). Though, Sobexl is a bit salty that they didn't use his birth name for it and Roxec still calls itself Darcy (the others aren't to fussed by this since Darcy didn't actually have a Heart in the first place and is thus an automaton rather than a Nobody).

Sobexl's Replica body has the shapeshifting, corrupting and parasitic abilities of Belos's old one (due to the Rot that caused it infecting his very Soul), but thanks to being powered by Infinity Energy from the Pokemon world is self-sustaining and will only start deteriorating him if he pushes it too hard. And it would take a lot to push it too hard.

Darcy meanwhile uses its vast knowledge and the help of Charon to customize its new body, loading it with weapons and features cherry-picked from the vast arsenal created by Old Amphibia and the more recent Calamity War and Frogvasion, with some extras based on amphibian Pokemon mixed in.

And, of course, the Circus decides to give the two a test run by having them attack the Colosseum.

Avatar vs Anchor Matchups (minus the ones I mentioned in the last ask)

Nimbus vs Link Given that this is specifically Wild Era Link I feel like it'd fit well

Tulip vs Rodney Keyblade wielders, especially light-aligned Keyblade wielders, have a bad matchup against other light-aligned magic users

Tune vs Mega Man Obviously

Frenzy vs Sonic.EXE See above

Red vs Torque Well somebody had to go after the birds

Arle vs Frida The two most skilled (though not most powerful) mages of their respective groups

Shantae vs Quest I just think she'd have a rough time with him

Ash vs Wes As good as Ash is, since Wes is from an actual game that had to be brought to a point where there was no more progress to be made he's got tons of Pokemon, several of which are Legendaries, all at level 100. And he's also a hardened ex-criminal from the Orre Region.

Olimar vs Anchor Mario Even an alternate, less absolutely insane Mario still has a good matchup against Pikmin

Elanore vs Doc Mad scientist battle

Sally & Cole vs Andi & Neo Woman Admittedly it's technically just Cole vs Andi and Roll since Sally's not really equipped for fighting but given just what he's capable of as a maxed out JRPG protagonist I feel like the 2-on-1 is warranted

Irene vs Timmy Not gonna lie, as strategic as the matchup really is I mainly did this one just to make it hurt

Cadance vs Henry Yes I put the most unpredictable motherfucker available into a rhythm game. No I am not sorry

This never?! Showed up! I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to ignore this!! D:

Honestly,, the Irene and Timmy one will absolutely wreck me the most because I know those two absolutely won't want to fight each other,, but'll probably have to,, oh.. oh the kiddos..

Its TIME for Part TWO of the Pokedex collab!!

I have a lofty goal to complete the entire Pokedex! Every Pokemon, every form! And I'll need YOUR help to do it!

We're moving on to Johto, and everyone is going to pick Pokemon from a spreadsheet!

Some ground rules first:

Absolutely NO "AI" IMAGES ALLOWED. Anything I suspect of being AI will not go into the queue.
Post your submissions here on tumblr as soon as you finish them! Use the tag #poketcgjohto so I can find everything in one place! It also helps to @ this blog. (Also in a saveable format would be helpful)
The first deadline will be January 30th, 2026! If your submission is not posted by then but you want to keep your spot, DM me by that time with a check-in! Just as a notice that you're active. If you do not check in with me and your post is not submitted, I will be wiping the remaining names from the sheet and opening submissions again. The second deadline will be February 28th, 2026.
I'll be adding posts to my queue once everything is wrapped up so they will post in National Pokedex order, and I'll gather everything into one gallery (with credit to you!) for everyone to view together!
I would appreciate it if you somehow credited the original card/artist you’re referencing somewhere in your post! (Posts with links still don’t show up in tags! Yay tumblr!)
You can use any medium you want! Photography, 3D, digital, traditional, clay, Lego, fiber, the limit is your own creativity!
You can change the card to be a shiny form if you want! Otherwise I'd prefer the designs stay within canon (An exception would be an old canon design of the Pokemon, like something based off old Gameboy sprites)
There is no application for entry!! Pick a Pokemon and draw it and have fun!
All official cards are okay! All full arts are okay! Any skill level is okay!
You do not have to make a full formatted card! Just the illustration is perfect!
Some Mega Evolutions don't have cards! Any submissions of Megas and Gigantamaxes have permission to redraw a regular card as the Mega or Giga form!

Here is the link to the spreadsheet!

Enter your username to the right of the Pokemon you plan to draw! (Scroll to the right to see the rest of the list if you're on mobile!)

Sign up for only ONE Pokemon so everyone has a chance to pick what they'd want! After some time there will be opportunities for people to pick a second Pokemon if they want to. And only one artist per Pokemon, please!

If you want to back out for any reason, please tell me! Nobody will be mad at you! Your art WILL be platformed on this blog if you enter, so if that makes you nervous I understand!

Please share this so other people can see! You don't have to be following this blog to participate!

If you do enter, please save this post so that you remember and still have access to the sheet! (By accessing it on Google Sheets you'll also have it saved)

So you might have noticed that we're now one batch of MRU universes away from there being an equal number of Anchors and fully active Avatars (I say fully active because of Juliano's whole deal and Barry and Ramagog still being in prison).

This is, of course, Very Deliberate, and will play into the final stage of the plan Director K created the Grid for in the first place.

Because of that, the next four will very blatantly be chosen for their ability to match the four strongest Avatars (because Avatar vs Anchor absolutely has to happen).

Sora, who thanks to all the gimmicks in Kingdom Hearts can pull all sorts of crazy Disney Anime Bullshit out of his ass at a moment's notice, gets Bayonetta, because have you seen the insane shit that happens in her boss fights?

The Disgaea series has some absurd power scaling, and in terms of lore Laharl's up pretty high on that scale, plus they're in charge of Literal Hell. Who better to take down a Demonic Overlord than the Doom Slayer?

Kirby is... Kirby. He's already canonically ridiculous in his own canon thanks to the whole Unlimited Potential thing and all the memes and fanon about him being an unstoppable god-staying eldritch abomination have added to it for the Avatar version. There's not that many things in fiction that can reach that level of power, and even fewer that are the protagonist of their story... but maybe something could copy it. To that end, they're going with the Ditto from Pokemon Pokopia... which since it obviously isn't out yet means this activation will be happening in late March at the earliest.

And finally there's Mario, the most powerful, skilled and experienced Avatar in terms of actual Meme Powers. You'd think that Anchor Mario would be the obvious choice, but he's honestly pretty average as far as his Anchor abilities go.

No, what they need is someone already so stupid and crazy that they can direct all the Meme Energy towards their abilities. Someone with about as much presence in the cultural consciousness as Super Mario himself, and possibly more presence in meme culture.

They need... Homer Simpson.

I think it'd be funny if April doesn't find out that Delia is Ash's mom for a long time. Delia's not trying to hide it or anything, it's just that Ash had to get their tendency to not talk about themselves unless directly prompted from somewhere. Plus revealing herself to be Ash Ketchum's mother while she's staying in Lumiose City of all places probably wouldn't be a good idea.

You'd think Gallade would be a dead giveaway that she has some connection to Ash, but April's not from this world and thus doesn't have any of the context for Mutant Pokemon. (I mean it's not like Ash would've had any reason to tell her about their Gardevoir's past). It helps that they've been around for a while at this point, enough that there are now some trainers who have them, so anyone who's aware of how strange it is for her to have a Mutant Gallade would probably just assume the League's entrusted her with him (granted, they technically wouldn't be wrong) and thus wouldn't make the connection either.

If you are on a Windows 11 computer, pause everything you are doing for one minute and:

Open computer settings
Click on Accessibility on the left-hand menu
Scroll down the Accessibility menu and click on the Keyboard Option
Under the "related settings" tab, click "Typing" which should have a description of "spellcheck, autocorrect, text suggestions."
Turn of the AI "correct misspelled words"
and most importantly: turn off Typing Insights.

[ID: a screenshot of the above mentioned Windows 11 settings, showing that Typing Insights is now turned off, with the following description from Microsoft: "Windows is using artificial intelligence to help you type To help you save time and type efficiently, Windows can learn to suggest words, autocorrect spelling mistakes, and interpret swiped typing. Take a look at the insights below to see up-to-the-minute stats on how Windows has learned to improve typing for you. These stats are stored only on this device and Microsoft does not collect the typing insights data." End ID]

"But Mx. November, it says right there Microsoft doesn't collect the typing insights data!"

I mean, yeah, it says that..... for *now.*

It also only specifies that Microsoft themselves don't collect it, and they wouldn't have made this something that I was automatically, secretly opted in for without my knowledge if they didn't have something to be gained by me not knowing it exists!

I only found this because a cat walked on the keyboard and turned on Filter Keys and happened to click on "typing insights" by accident.

Generative AI, and especially AI that is used to "personalize" and track your activity across the web and on your computer are never going to be in your best interest, it is always going to serve these companies in whatever way will line their pockets the most, and all it takes is updating their terms of service once, and then all of that data they promised they weren't collecting suddenly all belongs to them.

Something I love about Sonic X is how despite his more unconventional ways of expressing himself and his desire to be free, Sonic really does care about his friends and the people he meets along the way. He's not the type to say it, but he definitely shows it.

knuckles the echidna is the last of his kind and that is a source of loneliness and pain for him. but in order for him to live, he HAD to be loved by those who came before him and that drives me a little insane honestly

finalhazard

maybe they died after he hatched, when he was still small. maybe it was before. but either way, someone who truly loved him (his parents or any other member of the Knuckles tribe that remained) had to be around to make sure this last echidna egg hatched and that the baby that came out of it would be able to live and grow until it was old to fend for itself.

maybe it was Tikal. maybe, after seeing the sad fate of her tribe by her father’s hubris, she saw this tiny child and knew he would have to carry that legacy by himself for many years so she wanted to do right by him. she had to. even while still keeping chaos at bay.

or maybe it was the master emerald. because there IS sentience to the emerald, isn’t there? and maybe she knew this tiny child would become her guardian because he’d have no choice, and that even with all the grief that would bring him, he would never waver in his thankless duty. and for that, how could she not love him?

and even now. even now, knuckles continues to thrive because he’s made friends and those friends love him more than anything. knuckles the echidna exists because he is loved and he needs to KNOW
