-adjacent there is a variety of reasons why i might take an inordinate amount of time to reply to a thread but honestly the chances are embarrassingly high that i just hit a complete road block on an entirely inconsequential aspect of the reply and went down a weeks-long blorbo research rabbit hole and then died. badly

such as "what kind of music does Shoka listen to?" or "does Lusamine know what a priest is?"

so Egypt doesn't exist in Pokemon (yet?) but there are definitely ancient tombs and shit...and also Cofagrigus......but does Lusamine know what a pharaoh is (3 MONTHS REAL TIME PASS)

there is no point to this post. other than me saying sowwy i may be stupid i guess FLKj:LKHH

I UNDERSTAND THIS SO DEEPLY

god. this is so Real.

REAL... I usually limit myself to "can i find this on the wiki in under 30 minutes" but sometimes i absolutely get stuck

(finding out the wiki has a fandom-agreed-upon timeline is a gamechanger honestly, i can finally guesstimate how old the cats are when firepaw meets them)

ME WITH WANTING TO WRITE THIS REPLY FOR SHOKA FOR THE MEMSHARE

but also like. mood.

god......don't get me STARTED on Pokemon timelines.........

having to figure out what sort of shit perrin knows

and being like 'wait but would this have survived the end of the stupid online live game fuck you todd howard'

Real.......................

this is also me with "how much of TWEWY's convoluted lore with the Higher Plane would Shoka reasonably know considering she was a Reaper but not a high-ranking one"

and also 'wait how much would perrin also lie about, For Fun.'

OH NO. REAL...

sometimes i'm just charlie with my conspiracy board filled with random canon tidbits to prove that yes, this reply is canon accurate

if it's ANY consolation i don't know shit about Fallout......so you'll probably tell me whatever you decide on and i'll be like NEAT!

also sometimes I go and reread some threads to make sure I'm not repeating something with my shit memory. and then I get lost in rereading and never tag. that too

Lᴏᴏᴘ ᴅᴇ ɢʀᴀ̂ᴄᴇ : WAIT NO THIS IS SO REAL ALSO

bre : this too........😭😭

i one time made a noticeable error with canon info in a reply and a canon mate corrected me and i'm still recovering from that years later FLK:JLKHH

I'M A SHAM!!!!!!

conspiracy board handshake... my shitty lil private dw journal post with copy pasted quotes and extrapolation...

Kibi : ONE FEAR.

listen sometimes you make canon errors and then sometimes you catch someone else's. it all comes out in the wash it's fine

Y-YEAG.......

ME WHEN I KEEP ACCIDENTALLY MISSPELLING FINAL FANTASY STUFF

oh god the Final Fantasy stuff is actually the worst FOR ME because FF exists in the TWEWY universe and Shoka is a fan......but i know next to nothing about it!!!

i conveniently get around it by being like well ok she just HAPPENNNSSSSSSS not to know XYZ canon event that happened to this character she's talking to in RPland because TWEWY-verse FF games are juuuuust different enough to have left it out/made it vague/etc......BUT STILL AAARRRGHHH!!

if u ever need help im a ff dweeb, as u know.

THANK U.........🤝

the Pokémon timeline ... haha ...
