Hey y'all, I lived
3 min read
So on May 23rd I finally had my surgery, a surgery I had been hoping and praying for now for years. I recently found out that I wasn't just a wimp, and that I had moderate, becoming severe, endometriosis. For those who don't know, endometriosis is basically when the lining of the uterus -the endometrium- grows outside of the uterus, and causes severe pain, cysts, and bleeding. When they finally did the surgery on me, they found it everywhere. My abdominal cavity was an absolute mess. It was on my fallopian tubes, the outside wall of my uterus. My bowels, both my ureters.
So I had a full hysterectomy. This includes the uterus, the fallopian tubes, and the cervix, but not the ovaries (ovaries are a separate structure). The day of I admit was hell. It hurt. A lot. But I made it. It's been nearly four weeks now. The pain still creeps in if I accidentally miss a dose of pain meds (like when I'm sleeping and too groggy to remember what my alarm was even for) or if I move around too much, but it's getting better. I'm supposed to be down for six weeks, then take it easy the rest of the summer. And no swimming, which sucks. Guess my geese are just going to have to be mad at me for now getting in the water with them.
But it's over.
All those years of severe pain. All those years of suffering. Those times in middle and highschool where I was stuck in the bathroom for hours on end crying and praying for death. The years worrying that I was finally going to take one too many acetaminophen because pain pills barely even touched the agony. Thinking that this was normal, that everyone gets cramps during their period, and wondering why I was making such a big deal of it.
The last couple of years, where the time between pain became less and less, and my mobility was slowly being taken away from me. That just walking would make my insides feel like they were chafing, that they were raw. Wondering if that was going to be my life forever. That I would never be able to get a job, that I would loose my ability to do the things I love, Like mushroom hunting and skiing. That I would be trapped forever in a body that would always be broken.
But it's over. It's finally over.
I'm free

So yeah, title, this either means I'm going to be on here non stop or not at all while I'm in recovery, but as scared as I am I'm so thankful it's finally happening. So yeah, I know I'm not on much to begin with anymore but this might mean I disappear for even longer, so if you don't hear from me that's what's going on. In the mean time, I updated my "going to upload" section of my stash if anyone would like a preview of what's to come. You can see it here: https://sta.sh/21n16q6tbvq1
Wish me luck all

I've decided to continue forward with my Fakedex as if Gens 6 onwards are all non canon, even non existent. I know this isn't some groundbreaking announcement or anything, I mean it's not like it actually makes a difference in anything... Still, for me it's a pretty big deal. With this in mind, the national dex for all my fakemon starts at 650, with Genesect being the last "official" Pokemon in the fakedex.
So why the change? Well it's quite simple really; I'm fucking done with Pokemon's bullshit. I'm tired of the half assed games, I'm tired of the hand-holding, I'm tired of Game Freak treating fans like their fucking retarded. I'm also sick of people defending them. Pokemon hasn't been the same since Black 2/White 2. I'll admit I felt the Pokemon in that region felt very rushed and needed maybe one or two more drafts before being released, but seeing Pokemon and the state it's in now... holy shit am I sorry I was ever as hard on B/W as I was... I mean like I said I'm still not as happy with gen 5 as I was with gen 4 games, but it was 1000x better than everything since.
So in that regards, other than the Pokemon/regions, here are the things I will NOT be including in my fakedex:
-Sky battles: Well, there still might be something like this, but via an HM that allows you to traverse certain areas, not a unique battle type. So basically Surf in the sky. Now, there might be some kind of restrictions made so the battles make... sense... like in the official games, but again, it'd be an HM.
-Horde battles: Look; we already have double battles, triple battles, rotation battles, wild double battles, and so on. We don't need another one. While some aspects of it are kinda neat, like Pokemon turning on each other, I don't see why this can't be done in any of the other battle types. We don't need ten new battle types every generation. I think we have enough.
-Capture exp: gotta love making an already painfully easy series easier. So incredibly unnecessary. PASS.
-That stupid ass Rotomdex: Look, I like Rotom as much as the next person... but nobody likes the Rotomdex. Nobody. Even if they say they like it they don't actually like it. Fuck Rotomdex and everything about it.
-Regional forms: I'll admit, I don't hate regional forms, but there just aren't enough to really be justified. Plus it takes positions away from potential new Pokemon. I'mma skip it, it's just easier that way.
-Trials: This is a sun/moon thing, there's no point in keeping it. It wasn't much of a "new thing' like Pokemon kept trying to bullshit anyways.
-Totem Pokemon: See above.
-Z-moves: So now we have Mega forms, only through attacks. And boy are they ever cringy!! Yeah, PASS.
-Ultra beasts: Why. Why are these a thing... fucking why... They don't even look good... I read they were supposedly base on invasive species... but they couldn't just use regular pokemon to do that? Oh wait I forgot; all Pokemon are pweshios babbies that would never hurt nobody. No, we gotta have mother fucking ALIENS FROM ANOTHER FUCKING DIMENSION YALL!!!!!! (Even though we already have Deoxys... and Elgyem/Beheeyem... and Unown... and-)
-Ultra space: We already have alternate dimensions and planes of existence. Not to mention freaking Dialga/Palkia/Giratina. Stop adding more dimensions, we don't need more.
-Rainbow Rocket: Let's be honest, it was a huge letdown anyways...
-Gigantamax/Dynamax: Talk about such a worthless mechanic... It's just mega evo 2.0, only they're BIG now! Cause that's something we've always wanted... Right?! RIGHT?! Even worse, so few pokemon actually get a gigantimax form it really doesn't even need to exist. And of course almost all of them are from gens 1 and 8. AGAIN, all the other regions basically get the shaft. But then again they basically excluded all the other gens anyways for fuck knows why, so why bother paying attention to any of the other mons? Pathetic. Every single "gigantimax" form could have just have easily been a mega, there is NO reason for this to exist. I will say though that at least one Pokemon might have something *like* Gigantimaxing, but it would be a unique event, not a fucking battle staple.
UN. FUCKING. SKIPPABLE. TUTORIALS: Fuck this and everything about this. If kids could figure shit out when Pokemon first came out, they can do it now. stop treating kids like they're stupid. Let people have fun and find out stuff for themselves. Oh, and unskippable minigames can also go fuck right off. That shit should be optional.
Any shit that allows you to change IVs, natures, cheap ot EVs, levels, etc (I.E. anything that makes the game way too easy... again): Look, being able to see IVs and EVs was a step in the right direction, but it seems like editing a pokemon's very natures, IVs, and abilities seems way too fucking far. Also shinies. Shinies aren't special anymore, they're way too easy to get. At this point you might as well cheat the Pokemon you want in, it's no different.
And so on. There's probably more, and If I think of it (or if anyone wants to suggest it) then I'll add it to the list. That being said, some things from the Gen 6+ I will be "keeping", but not without heavy modification to make them less... well... stupid. Some of these include;
-Mega evolutions: I did hem and haw about this quite a bit, but after thinking it through, I think I will keep this. But it's going to need a LOT of fixing to make it an actual balanced mechanic instead of some stupid nuke move that only a tiny hand full of Pokemon can have. Obviously a lot more Pokemon would also need to be given Megas, probably depending on whether or not they are fully fledged fully evolved lines. Some Pokemon might also "lose" megas because of this, like Absol and Manectric (who in my fakedex are stage 1 Pokemon). Some Gigantimax forms might also be converted to Megas (Like Giga Butterfree... um... Giga Kingler?...) I think starters should also all get megas, and maybe all get two (like Charizard)
-Primal revision: This will NOT be a counterpart to Mega evolutions like they are in the official games, but instead will be a unique Legendary mechanic (Specifically Legendaries who were around since creation). As I've stated before Legendary Pokemon have a much more prominent role in my Fakedex, being actual unique characters with unique mechanics. Primal revision would be included with this. Like Megas there's be a lot of tweaking needed to be done to make it balanced.
-Fairy type: Eh, it kinda makes sense, and gives some balance. Plus if you add Cosmic and Crystal types, that adds up to exactly 20 base types. All pokemon who gain or get their type changed to Fairy also keep it.
-Inverse battles: This would probably be a type of Battle Tower/Frontier/Subway type of challenge, along with a possible link battle mode. It seems interesting enough as a side mechanic or unique type of battle that it can stay.
-Affection: This would be an OPTIONAL thing, with NO REAL BEARING ON BATTLES. Holy shit affection makes battles way too easy. At the very least affection would affect friendship, but otherwise would just be a fun thing to do with your Pokemon. It would have an option to disable it altogether. And even if it is enabled, not all Pokemon will be open to it. Mewtwo's not about to let you pet him. Giratina prolly wouldn't actually like sweets. Shadow Type Pokemon would straight up murder you if you tried anything. It'd probably also tie into Pokemon following the player, which, let's be honest, should always be a thing.
-Ability to see EVs and IVs: This should have been a thing since the beginning. However you still would need to raise/lower them the old fashioned way. EV total at 508 instead of 510 will also stay a thing.
-A few "official" Pokemon: With some modifications, of course. They'll be added to the fakedex as if they were never released (SO I guess in my original statement I wasn't "entirely" correct, but you get the picture). I don't think I'll be adding any of the Legendaries, but there were only like, 12 anyways, so whatever. So Mewtwo now is the ONLY legendary that [truly] evolves again! Yaaaaay!!!
-Max raid battle: ONLY ONE. THERE WOULD ONLY BE ONE. This would be Virus Groudon, who was Gigantamax before Gigantamax was a thing. It also wouldn't be forced multiplayer.
And probably more, but this is what I can think of at the moment. So yeah, I think that sums it up. If you see any kind of discrepancy between the Pokedex/fakedex or the Pokemon/mechanics/regions, this is why.

On an unrelated note, I'm still working on my 666th deviation, it's taking some time but hopefully I'll get it up soon. I want it to be grand. After than I should be back to my regularly scheduled nonsense. Believe me there's a lot. In the meantime though you can see all my pending deviations here -> sta.sh/21n16q6tbvq1 to get an idea of what's coming.

10 Years of Deviantart: A Thank You
6 min read
Wow, how time flies. Feels just like yesterday I had my one year anniversary, hard to believe it's already been ten years. So yeah, today my account turns ten, so I thought I'd finally bump the (now a year old) last journal entry I posted off and take some time to thank, well... everyone.
I'm not very good at journals, or getting all my thoughts out via typing, so I'll try to condense down a bit here. Truthfully I meant to do a journal like this when I hit 1000 watchers (currently 1021, also something I'm really happy about
), but I never got around to actually finishing it. Anyways, as I said, ten years ago today I joined Deviantart, back when I was 13 and naive. I've come a long way since first joining, both here on DA and in real life, and have learned and seen quite a lot happen. I've also seen Deviantart change a lot since I first joined, both for better and for worse. I definitely don't agree with all of the changes that have happened, but DA's been my home for 10 years, so I don't see myself jumping ship anytime soon. Well, unless there's like some kind of major scandal or something... But yeah, through the years I've also met a lot of really great people, and wouldn't be here today if it wasn't for them. I'm not the biggest or most popular artist, and honestly... I'm ok with that, and happy with where I am. Honestly I kind of hope I never will be super big. I like being able to chat with people and respond to all of the comments I get (even if it takes me forever, sorry bout' my anxiety), and I don't know if I would be able to do that with a huge following. Whatever the case, I really appreciate my friends here, and all my watchers, and all of the comments and favorites and such that I've received. Thank you everyone so much for ten great years

So as far as like, future goals and everything, I mostly want to finally finish submitting everything currently in my stash, although there is a lot more stuff coming. I think I might need to find a new scanner as the XP laptop I use it with is close to giving up the ghost... thing's older than I am, so I guess that's not surprising. Actually, I wonder if the scanner would work with Wine on my Linux computer...
As far as actual projects, I definitely want to continue work on the Pterraforming Project, and I would like to wrap up my fakedexes once and for all. It's getting tiring trying to keep up with Pokemon, especially with their "throw shit at the wall and see what sticks" attitude they have going on. So I'm probably going to continue as if everything post Ultrasun/Ultramoon doesn't exist for the sake of my own sanity. Pterraforming on the other hand seems pretty limitless, especially since this is a speculative project with all original creatures, so I have quite a bit of elbow room there. I'd really like to make a faux field guide for Pterearth in the future, akin to like a Peterson or Nat. Geo guide. Maybe write a novel or a comic, something fun like that. But only the future will tell. After all, might be kinda hard to work on art if I do manage to finally set up a nature center. Plus there's all the Audubon stuff, and talks, and such...
Aside from Fakemon and Pterraforming, there's also another project me and my brother have been tossing around, that I'm calling "Lucid". Basically it's a game that focuses on dreams and the craziness that our heads can come up with. So basically an open world rpg dream simulator. At this point it's mostly just in the concept stages, but I'm trying to learn actual programming from my dad, so I think it might be a fun practice project. Plus it might finally silence some of the demons in my head from the endless nightmares I keep having as I try to unravel everything I've been dreaming to make them game compatible...Oh lord the nightmares won't stop... every f*cking night... for hours and hours... I sincerely thought I died and went to hell in a couple of them they were so bad... But yeah, I've always been able to remember my dreams in vivid detail, so I think it would be fun to actually make something that you could see and play in from them. I've got quite a bit of stuff drawn up, so once I upload everything from my stash I plan on starting to submit them.
That all being said though, I finally realize that I... I just don't have time to do commissions and requests anymore... I'm going to finish the ones I've already promised, but after that, I just can't do them anymore. Drawing and art is a hobby for me, not a career. I use it to de-stress, so trying to make a job of it is just too much. Plus anxiety and depression and such makes it 1000x harder.
But, whatever the case, I plan on making the most of it. Here's to another ten good years!

Special shoutout to some of those who've help me on this journey
And of course many, many more~ Thank you all so, so much

More images uploaded to my Stash! You can see all my upcoming submissions here (if you are interested).--
Yeah, considering my last journal was one of sorrow and loss (and back in September), I think it's time to finally bump it off and put up a new journal. Spring is always a good time for new beginnings and fresh starts, so it works out well. As a follow up to the last journal, thank you all so much for the support you gave me after my loss. To date loosing my cat Milo is probably the hardest thing I've ever had to go through, and seeing so many of my friends and watchers reach out to me was very, very reassuring. I'm doing much better now, now nine months since his passing, and I now am taking care of two black kitty-baby brothers (Baloo/Blue and Brave) which will be a year old this Fourth of July (Kinda cool how they were born on my favorite holiday).
Now, for those possibly wondering why I've been gone so long, spring is BY FAR my busiest time of year, between mushroom hunting, work on the farm, Audubon society stuff, etc, so most of the time I'm just to busy or tired to come back on. That's not to say that I haven't been busy with art though, and I'm very excited to show you all what I've been working on. I actually have most of the new art loaded into my stash (which you can see here if you are interested), I just have/want to get the descriptions for them all written out before "officially" submitting them. Like I've said before, writing and getting my thoughts out is really hard for me, so it can take a while for me to submit something because of it. Hopefully I'll be able to sit down and actually manage to write soon. Until then though, feel free to see what is coming up!
Anyways, happy spring everyone!
