    <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#39;ve been thinking about LJ a bit again as I steal writing prompt lists from it (I miss prompt challenges) and while it&amp;#39;s tempting to kill my entire blog with fire, I like the record of memories even if a lot of them are painted with my old raised-in-a-cult opinions.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;That doesn&amp;#39;t mean I want anybody else seeing them though, so y&amp;#39;all are gonna be losing access soon-ish.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If anybody wants to reconnect with me, I&amp;#39;m on Tumblr and Bsky, but if you&amp;#39;re just gonna follow me elsewhere to try to get me to reconvert I WILL block you. &lt;/p&gt;</content>

I wanted to post it to WERP too but I&amp;#39;m getting an error, so if anyone reading this happens to be in touch with any of them, I&amp;#39;d appreciate it being passed forward. I&amp;#39;m not looking for reconnection or forgiveness - I just want them to know I&amp;#39;m sorry and I&amp;#39;m now living as a kinder, happier person, for however much that helps with the wounds.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;TL;DR I&amp;#39;m sorry for the pain I caused when I was young and dumb and hurt and afraid and trying to make sense of all of it. I hope y&amp;#39;all are doing well out there.&lt;/p&gt;</content>

    <content type="html">&lt;div style="text-align:center"&gt;Okay, now that I've screamed, jumped around, and taken the time to gather more info, I've put together a countdown list of the top 7 games I'm the most interested in from E3.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;7. Animal Crossing (3DS)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt="" ljaddtriggersobjectstatus="mouseout" style="width: 253px; height: 318px;" src="https://l-stat.livejournal.net/img/https_placeholder.png" fetchpriority="high" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Animal Crossing never looked so smooth and glowy! That's... pretty much all there is to say about it at this point. That's also why it's at the metaphorical bottom on my excitement list for now; It &lt;em&gt;looks&lt;/em&gt; nice, but I hope they really make an effort to do something new with it too. Animal Crossing, while fun, gets boring after doing the same thing all the time. You know what I'd like to see? Towns hosted online with multiple residents, so you don't need to share your game card with a friend for them to live there. That'd sell me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;6. Kingdom Hearts (3DS)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt="" ljaddtriggersobjectstatus="mouseout" src="https://l-stat.livejournal.net/img/https_placeholder.png" loading="lazy" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's Kingdom Hearts! With the normal main cast! For a handheld I actually care about! Me like this idea. Not much to say beyond that for now, but I don't agree with the speculation that it's a KH1 port, unless they REALLY&amp;nbsp;expanded it. (Pic chosen because the fangirls are gonne flip out at being able to control Riku.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;5. Epic Mickey (Wii)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt="" style="width: 305px; height: 171px;" src="https://l-stat.livejournal.net/img/https_placeholder.png" ljaddtriggersobjectstatus="mouseout" loading="lazy" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh hey, I'd almost forgotten about this one. While I'm still not as impressed as I'd like to be with the gameplay graphics (hence opting to use some concept art), I can't help but feel excited for this game. And now we know for sure it's gonna be on the Wii. Sweeeet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;4. Pokemon Ranger: Guardian Signs (DS)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;lj-embed id="71" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No surprises here, but looking forward to this. It looks great and continues a franchise I enjoy. Now all we need it PMD Wiiware to get its butt over here...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And here comes the top 3, where it goes from &amp;quot;Neat!&amp;quot; to &amp;quot;EPIC&amp;nbsp;WANT.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;3. Portal 2 (PS3, PC, Mac)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;lj-embed id="72" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;YES. Portal was a surprise hit for a reason; it had an interesting antagonist and fun gameplay style. Amping that into high gear? Making it available for the Mac? I'm sold.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;2. Paper Mario (3DS)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img ljaddtriggersobjectstatus="mouseout" src="https://l-stat.livejournal.net/img/https_placeholder.png" alt="" loading="lazy" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A new Paper Mario is always a good thing, and it looks like the classic RPG&amp;nbsp;elements are back! No offense to SPM, love that game, but Nintendo has too few good RPG series to start turning them into platformers for the long run. I'm also curious about the partners; Mario seems alone in all the pictures except the battle ones, where there's a normal looking chain chomp. Is there gonna be some sort of monster catching system, perhaps? I do hope they give Mario another character to bounce off of.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And the thing that had me spazzing the most....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;1. Kirby's Epic Yarn (Wii)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;lj-embed id="73" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Okay, first off, &lt;i&gt;it's a Kirby Wii game.&lt;/i&gt; Ask any long member of the Kirby fandom who knows their history how excited that makes them. Kirby Wii has been held back, canceled, un-canceled, and ran through every possible stage of vaporware for years. But at last, this pops up at the E3, with the catch of looking completely different from the original planned title.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Honestly? Good. The artwork is beautiful. It's like Paper Mario if it all took place in a Jo-Ann Fabrics store. And it's trying some new stuff and looks ridiculously fun to play. If Canvas Curse is any indication, the best Kirby games are the innovative ones.&lt;a name='cutid1-end'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;</content>

Ray is &lt;i&gt;Adorable&lt;/i&gt;. His blind faith in love was inspiring to me, and you just really cared about who he was and what he stood for. He got me really welled up a few times.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt="" src="https://l-stat.livejournal.net/img/https_placeholder.png" ljaddtriggersobjectstatus="mouseout" loading="lazy" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Buzz Lightyear from Toy Story&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The man, the myth, the legend, the guy with the karate chop action and little light-bulb that blinks; who &lt;i&gt;didn't&lt;/i&gt; love Buzz as a kid? Partly for nostalgia's sake, and partly because he's a hilarious and fun character, Buzz remains one of my favorites. Buzz simply never gets old. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt="" src="https://l-stat.livejournal.net/img/https_placeholder.png" ljaddtriggersobjectstatus="mouseout" loading="lazy" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;WALL-E from WALL-E&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I don't even know where to begin on this one. WALL-E made audiences fall in love with him before he even said a word, myself included. He's a sweet character full of hope and light that can be related to far too well to be a robot living 700 years from now. He's the guy you wish was around on those days when you get tired and bitter and forget that love is the most important thing. He's like everything good about humanity in a box.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://l-stat.livejournal.net/img/https_placeholder.png" ljaddtriggersobjectstatus="mouseout" alt="" loading="lazy" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Sprx from Super Robot Monkey Team Hyperforce Go!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You know, that show on Jetix? Anybody? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anybody?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyways, one of the things I loved about SRMTHG was the surprising depth of the characters and their relationships with one another. Sprx, IMO, was the most well developed character I've seen in a kid targeted animated series in a long time. He has insecurities and desires and the writers don't shove it all in your face but you still understand him by his subtle actions. He jokes around and flirts and acts like a moron, but also has a very valorous streak and street smarts when it comes down to it. You really see his grievances and root for him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://l-stat.livejournal.net/img/https_placeholder.png" ljaddtriggersobjectstatus="mouseout" alt="" loading="lazy" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;EVE from WALL-E&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;EVEEVEEVE! EVE is AWESOME. I fell in love with EVE the moment I saw her character design; she just looks so cool and she's hardcore and she can blow holes in boulders.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But more importantly, EVE has an amazing character development arc. The story of her learning what it means to live is just as root-able and endearing as WALL-E's story, and it's done in such a natural feeling way that's so beautiful.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Plus, again, she's &lt;i&gt;cool.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;a name='cutid1-end'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;﻿</content>

    <content type="html">OHBOYOHBOYOHBOYOHBOY 8D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yeah, I'm a day late here, huh? Well, I honestly needed some time to warm up to this; I was expecting more of a Chim-Charred feel and it took me a while to realize that it was still a cool episode even if I didn't get it how I wanted. Plus, once I realized that I spent the rest of the day garnering more information, pictures, and footage and spazzing with Silver Wings over it, so yeah. xD;;;;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That said, I'm just going to do my entire epi-picspam now, and when it airs in the states (And even though I pretty much spoiled myself silly, I WILL&amp;nbsp;be watching it in the States.) I might bring a few points up.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Warnings: Spoilers, a ton of pictures, allcaps, and making fun of &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;EVERYBODY.&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium;"&gt;HAY&amp;nbsp;GUYS.

He's still kinda annoying, but he's growing more character.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Poor Ash though; even he beat the kid to 8 badges. Then again, he is pretty impatient.

It like he sucks all the dull into himself and everybody else becomes more interesting and-&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Barry: OH&amp;nbsp;MY&amp;nbsp;GOSH&amp;nbsp;IS&amp;nbsp;THAT&amp;nbsp;PAUL?!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt="" ljaddtriggersobjectstatus="mouseout" src="https://l-stat.livejournal.net/img/https_placeholder.png" loading="lazy" /&gt;&lt;img alt="" ljaddtriggersobjectstatus="mouseout" src="https://l-stat.livejournal.net/img/https_placeholder.png" loading="lazy" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;HAI&amp;nbsp;PAUL HAI&amp;nbsp;PAUL HAI&amp;nbsp;PAUL HAI&amp;nbsp;PAUL HAI&amp;nbsp;PAUL HAI&amp;nbsp;PAUL HAI&amp;nbsp;PAUL HAI&amp;nbsp;PAUL HAI&amp;nbsp;PAUL HAI&amp;nbsp;PAUL HAI&amp;nbsp;PAUL HAI&amp;nbsp;PAUL &lt;br /&gt;HAI&amp;nbsp;PAUL HAI&amp;nbsp;PAUL HAI&amp;nbsp;PAUL HAI&amp;nbsp;PAUL HAI&amp;nbsp;PAUL HAI&amp;nbsp;PAUL HAI&amp;nbsp;PAUL HAI&amp;nbsp;PAUL HAI&amp;nbsp;PAUL HAI&amp;nbsp;PAUL HAI&amp;nbsp;PAUL HAI&amp;nbsp;PAUL &lt;br /&gt;HAI&amp;nbsp;PAUL HAI&amp;nbsp;PAUL HAI&amp;nbsp;PAUL HAI&amp;nbsp;PAUL HAI&amp;nbsp;PAUL HAI&amp;nbsp;PAUL HAI&amp;nbsp;PAUL HAI&amp;nbsp;PAUL HAI&amp;nbsp;PAUL HAI&amp;nbsp;PAUL HAI&amp;nbsp;PAUL HAI&amp;nbsp;PAUL &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;....Wanna battle? 8D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt="" ljaddtriggersobjectstatus="mouseout" src="https://l-stat.livejournal.net/img/https_placeholder.png" loading="lazy" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So Paul tells N00b!Barry to go bug Ash, and the Beacon Badge comes up...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt="" ljaddtriggersobjectstatus="mouseout" src="https://l-stat.livejournal.net/img/https_placeholder.png" loading="lazy" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;...Which makes Paul rather angry. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Okayyyy.... why does he even CARE where Ash goes for gym battles? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And with that, the first half is pretty much over. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;INTERMISSION&amp;nbsp;SONG TIEM&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt="" ljaddtriggersobjectstatus="mouseout" src="https://l-stat.livejournal.net/img/https_placeholder.png" loading="lazy" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-large;"&gt;TEAM&amp;nbsp;ROCKET'S ROCKIN!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Talkin Trouble Walking Trouble Double Trouble Big Trouble's Gonna Follow Yoooooouuuu~!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt="" ljaddtriggersobjectstatus="mouseout" src="https://l-stat.livejournal.net/img/https_placeholder.png" loading="lazy" /&gt;&lt;img alt="" ljaddtriggersobjectstatus="mouseout" src="https://l-stat.livejournal.net/img/https_placeholder.png" loading="lazy" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So all the slow set up is over and the episode is gonna get more awesome because MONFERNO IS SENT OUT.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The battle begins!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;...Why do shonen characters do that nose thing?

And poor Ferny goes screaming all the way into the woods and CRASHES&amp;nbsp;REDICULOUSLY&amp;nbsp;HARD&amp;nbsp;INTO&amp;nbsp;THE&amp;nbsp;GROUND. We can't see him or anything.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And Ash is like &amp;quot;OH&amp;nbsp;CRAP!

And of course, we have the obligatory &amp;quot;electricity won't work!&amp;quot; moment. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And Ash is like &amp;quot;Oh Noes! D8&amp;quot; and Dawn is like &amp;quot;Oh Noes! D8&amp;quot; and Brock is like &amp;quot;Oh Noes! D8&amp;quot; And Barry is like &amp;quot;wut man I was just visiting for one episode&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And Paul is like &amp;quot;:|&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt="" ljaddtriggersobjectstatus="mouseout" src="https://l-stat.livejournal.net/img/https_placeholder.png" loading="lazy" /&gt;&lt;img alt="" ljaddtriggersobjectstatus="mouseout" src="https://l-stat.livejournal.net/img/https_placeholder.png" loading="lazy" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yes, those are giant Pokeball bubbles.

It doesn't go well, but at least Happiny is entertained.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So Team Rocket captures Pikachu and Emploeon and Piplup and is all like &amp;quot;yeah we rok this can't possibly go wrong&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;BUT THEN&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt="" ljaddtriggersobjectstatus="mouseout" src="https://l-stat.livejournal.net/img/https_placeholder.png" loading="lazy" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium;"&gt;IT&amp;nbsp;RISES FROM THE WOODS&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt="" ljaddtriggersobjectstatus="mouseout" src="https://l-stat.livejournal.net/img/https_placeholder.png" loading="lazy" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;IT&amp;nbsp;IS&amp;nbsp;ANGRY.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt="" ljaddtriggersobjectstatus="mouseout" src="https://l-stat.livejournal.net/img/https_placeholder.png" loading="lazy" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium;"&gt;IT KNOWS WHERE YOU LIVE.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt="" ljaddtriggersobjectstatus="mouseout" src="https://l-stat.livejournal.net/img/https_placeholder.png" loading="lazy" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium;"&gt;IT RESCUES YOU FROM BUBBLES.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;WHAT&amp;nbsp;COULD&amp;nbsp;IT&amp;nbsp;BE?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;IT&amp;nbsp;IS...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt="" ljaddtriggersobjectstatus="mouseout" src="https://l-stat.livejournal.net/img/https_placeholder.png" loading="lazy" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;CRAZEFERNO.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;IT&amp;nbsp;WILL&amp;nbsp;EAT&amp;nbsp;YOUR&amp;nbsp;BABIES.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Not really, but eahhgh, that picture creeps me out man. Chimchar looked MILD compared to this. His pupils don't even appear to be looking the same direction. D8&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So Ash is like &amp;quot;Yay I'm free but oh double crap! D:&amp;quot; and Dawn is like &amp;quot;oh double crap! D:&amp;quot; and Brock is like &amp;quot;oh double crap!

He's just... standing there. The entire time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then again, maybe he's the smartest of us all and realizes it's only a matter of time until Team Rocket screws it up for themselves. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Like right now. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt="" ljaddtriggersobjectstatus="mouseout" src="https://l-stat.livejournal.net/img/https_placeholder.png" loading="lazy" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;OH&amp;nbsp;GOODIE&amp;nbsp;TEAM; A&amp;nbsp;CRAZY&amp;nbsp;MONKEY&amp;nbsp;ON&amp;nbsp;FIRE&amp;nbsp;DESTROYING&amp;nbsp;EVERYTHING.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt="" ljaddtriggersobjectstatus="mouseout" src="https://l-stat.livejournal.net/img/https_placeholder.png" loading="lazy" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;LET'S CATCH IT.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt="" ljaddtriggersobjectstatus="mouseout" src="https://l-stat.livejournal.net/img/https_placeholder.png" loading="lazy" /&gt;&lt;img alt="" ljaddtriggersobjectstatus="mouseout" src="https://l-stat.livejournal.net/img/https_placeholder.png" loading="lazy" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ASH uses COOLDOWN HUG. It doesn't affect ally CRAZEFERNO...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So yeah, TR tries to grab it, and he BREAKS OUT OF THE GIANT CLAW LIKE&amp;nbsp;A&amp;nbsp;TOOTHPICK. And Ash both to protect the captures pokemon (and probbaly cause not even Team Rocket deserves this) tries to block Monferno.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt="" ljaddtriggersobjectstatus="mouseout" src="https://l-stat.livejournal.net/img/https_placeholder.png" loading="lazy" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It doesn't go well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt="" ljaddtriggersobjectstatus="mouseout" src="https://l-stat.livejournal.net/img/https_placeholder.png" loading="lazy" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-large;"&gt;FATALITY.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(Actually they just blast off but whatever.)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So TR explodes and it makes the ROBOT UNSTABLE.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;THE&amp;nbsp;CAGE&amp;nbsp;IS&amp;nbsp;GOING&amp;nbsp;TO&amp;nbsp;FALL.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;BUT&amp;nbsp;THE&amp;nbsp;MOST&amp;nbsp;AMAZING&amp;nbsp;CHANGE&amp;nbsp;TAKES&amp;nbsp;PLACE.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;GUESS.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt="" ljaddtriggersobjectstatus="mouseout" src="https://l-stat.livejournal.net/img/https_placeholder.png" loading="lazy" /&gt;&lt;img alt="" ljaddtriggersobjectstatus="mouseout" src="https://l-stat.livejournal.net/img/https_placeholder.png" loading="lazy" /&gt;&lt;img alt="" ljaddtriggersobjectstatus="mouseout" src="https://l-stat.livejournal.net/img/https_placeholder.png" loading="lazy" /&gt;&lt;img alt="" ljaddtriggersobjectstatus="mouseout" src="https://l-stat.livejournal.net/img/https_placeholder.png" loading="lazy" /&gt;&lt;img alt="" ljaddtriggersobjectstatus="mouseout" src="https://l-stat.livejournal.net/img/https_placeholder.png" loading="lazy" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;PAUL.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ACTUALLY.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;DOES.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SOMETHING.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I dunno what he yells to Ash. Probably along the lines of &amp;quot;Go help your stupid Pokemon Stupid. :|&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;TRANSLATION&amp;nbsp;UPDATE: ...Or just telling Electrabuzz to keep using protect. Oh well. xD&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt="" ljaddtriggersobjectstatus="mouseout" src="https://l-stat.livejournal.net/img/https_placeholder.png" loading="lazy" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And so this gives Ash a chance to go and attempt his uber godmodding power of friendship cooldown hug again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt="" ljaddtriggersobjectstatus="mouseout" src="https://l-stat.livejournal.net/img/https_placeholder.png" loading="lazy" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And Paul.... actually looks kinda impressed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;(In unrelated news, did anybody hear about Hell freezing over today? I'm pretty sure it made mainstream news but I'm not sure...)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In all seriousness though; this isn't just Paul being impressed by Ash. This is Paul being impressed by Ash doing something incredibly self-sacrificial for the sake of one of his Pokemon; &lt;em&gt;Paul is impressed by Ash doing an act of kindness for one of his Pokemon&lt;/em&gt;. That... that's a HUGE&amp;nbsp;deal. Ash has been trying to show that there is a strength in friendship, and he finally got a small piece of that through Paul's head. After all, Paul has been known to treat his Pokemon more as battle tools; know anybody who would risk getting seriously burned (in theory. Ash never gets seriously burned.) to stop a runaway tank? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So Monferno calms down?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt="" ljaddtriggersobjectstatus="mouseout" src="https://l-stat.livejournal.net/img/https_placeholder.png" loading="lazy" /&gt;&lt;img alt="" ljaddtriggersobjectstatus="mouseout" src="https://l-stat.livejournal.net/img/https_placeholder.png" loading="lazy" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No, he gets worse.... or does he? He also closes his eyes and appears to be struggling. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ash gives this semi-long, dramatic speech to Monferno while he's trying to calm him down and darnit I&amp;nbsp;NEED&amp;nbsp;A&amp;nbsp;TRANSLATION&amp;nbsp;OF&amp;nbsp;THAT. I wanna know what he said.... ;_;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;TRANSLATION&amp;nbsp;UPDATE: Monferno... Remember! The promise you and I made... the promise that we'd grow stronger together! Monferno... don't be swallowed by blaze! Overcome the power and become even stronger! With me... become stronger with me!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;DAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW~! &lt;/span&gt;I love the friendship these two have you guys. And Ash, as always, really backing up his words by taking an even worse blaze than he did last time, and Monferno responds by showing that he can handle more now as well. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That also makes more sense for how easily Monferno went into Blaze earlier; the &amp;quot;don't be swallowed&amp;quot; thing seems to point to Ash noticing the problem getting worse.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Meanwhile, Electrabuzz is not doing well, and the cage is about to fall on him. (It really wasn't that bad a fall for the guys in the cage in the first place, but whatever. rule of drama.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt="" ljaddtriggersobjectstatus="mouseout" src="https://l-stat.livejournal.net/img/https_placeholder.png" loading="lazy" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Monferno finally brushes Ash off, and it looks like Ash has still gotten nowhere.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt="" ljaddtriggersobjectstatus="mouseout" src="https://l-stat.livejournal.net/img/https_placeholder.png" loading="lazy" /&gt;&lt;img alt="" ljaddtriggersobjectstatus="mouseout" src="https://l-stat.livejournal.net/img/https_placeholder.png" loading="lazy" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;BUT&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;BUTBUTBUT&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;HOLD&amp;nbsp;EVERYTHING.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt="" ljaddtriggersobjectstatus="mouseout" src="https://l-stat.livejournal.net/img/https_placeholder.png" loading="lazy" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;MONFERNO&amp;nbsp;IS&amp;nbsp;CONTROLLING&amp;nbsp;BLAZE.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;MONFERNO.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;IS.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;CONTROLLING.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;BLAZE. 8D&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt="" ljaddtriggersobjectstatus="mouseout" src="https://l-stat.livejournal.net/img/https_placeholder.png" loading="lazy" /&gt;&lt;img alt="" ljaddtriggersobjectstatus="mouseout" src="https://l-stat.livejournal.net/img/https_placeholder.png" loading="lazy" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And finally, the part everybody knew was coming, but is still really cool.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt="" ljaddtriggersobjectstatus="mouseout" src="https://l-stat.livejournal.net/img/https_placeholder.png" loading="lazy" /&gt;&lt;img alt="" ljaddtriggersobjectstatus="mouseout" src="https://l-stat.livejournal.net/img/https_placeholder.png" loading="lazy" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blink&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(128, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 70px;"&gt;HECK&amp;nbsp;YES&amp;nbsp;INFERNAPE.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blink&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt="" ljaddtriggersobjectstatus="mouseout" src="https://l-stat.livejournal.net/img/https_placeholder.png" loading="lazy" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;quot;LOL HAI remember me ima that Chimchar you used to pick on 2 seasons ago 8D&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &amp;quot;Pfft, I totally could have done that. &amp;gt;___&amp;gt;&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt="" ljaddtriggersobjectstatus="mouseout" src="https://l-stat.livejournal.net/img/https_placeholder.png" loading="lazy" /&gt;&lt;img alt="" ljaddtriggersobjectstatus="mouseout" src="https://l-stat.livejournal.net/img/https_placeholder.png" loading="lazy" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And yes, Ash can control him just fine. I never really got why people were so worried about this, so be honest. ^^;;;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh and this is the cool part!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt="" ljaddtriggersobjectstatus="mouseout" src="https://l-stat.livejournal.net/img/https_placeholder.png" loading="lazy" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;INFERNAPE used TOSS THE&amp;nbsp;ENTIRE&amp;nbsp;ROBOT SEVERAL FEET&amp;nbsp;INTO&amp;nbsp;THE&amp;nbsp;AIR.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt="" ljaddtriggersobjectstatus="mouseout" src="https://l-stat.livejournal.net/img/https_placeholder.png" loading="lazy" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;INFERNAPE used MACH PUNCH THE STUPID CAGE OPEN.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt="" ljaddtriggersobjectstatus="mouseout" src="https://l-stat.livejournal.net/img/https_placeholder.png" loading="lazy" /&gt;&lt;img alt="" ljaddtriggersobjectstatus="mouseout" src="https://l-stat.livejournal.net/img/https_placeholder.png" loading="lazy" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;INFERNAPE used RESCUE EVERYBODY IN A SPINNING BALL OF FIRE.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt="" ljaddtriggersobjectstatus="mouseout" src="https://l-stat.livejournal.net/img/https_placeholder.png" loading="lazy" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anybody ever wonder how odd it must be for Pikachu, come to think of it, to have most of his friends go from being about his size to evolving to the point that he looks like a baby compared to them? Just a random thought. I mean, to somebody who doesn't know the show much this whole things looks like a &amp;quot;oh mah gosh you saved us thanks Mr. Big Infernape! *_*&amp;quot; and the Poke-Conversation is probably more along the lines of &amp;quot;Wow!

Something having to do with Infernape.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;TRANSLATION&amp;nbsp;UPDATE: &amp;quot;It seems that the power of Blaze was transformed into evolutionary energy. Blaze was controlled... and transformed into a totally different power.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;OHHHHHHHHH. Okay, that explains all the &amp;quot;dude he evolved again kinda quickly&amp;quot; comments but... does that also mean blaze was officially dealt with? Hmm. Guess we'll just have to keep watching and see if that's the case. :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also, did Monferno PURPOSEFULLY do that? Like, he figured out how to channel it that way? That is too cool. NOTHING&amp;nbsp;THE&amp;nbsp;ANGST&amp;nbsp;BUCKET&amp;nbsp;CAN'T DO&amp;nbsp;I&amp;nbsp;SAY! 8D&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt="" ljaddtriggersobjectstatus="mouseout" src="https://l-stat.livejournal.net/img/https_placeholder.png" loading="lazy" /&gt;&lt;img alt="" ljaddtriggersobjectstatus="mouseout" src="https://l-stat.livejournal.net/img/https_placeholder.png" loading="lazy" /&gt;&lt;img alt="" ljaddtriggersobjectstatus="mouseout" src="https://l-stat.livejournal.net/img/https_placeholder.png" loading="lazy" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And Ash ends up asking him for a battle, and Paul is like &amp;quot;I'll battle you guys in the Sinnoh Leauge.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, in Paul speak, I think he just said he thinks Ash will make it there. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And Paul walks off with Ash and Barry both smiling after him with a &amp;quot;you so care&amp;quot; look on their faces.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyways, last notes: This episode surprised me. I was expecting more like a &amp;quot;Chim-Charred&amp;quot; thing, but instead, while Monferno/Infernape obviously got some epic win moments, this episode was more about Paul's character development. It was surprising to see him affected so much, and I'm excited to see what is being planned for his character next. 8)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also, are we done with blaze or not? Can Infernape like, totally control it now? And did it feel like to anybody else that blaze came out more easily this time? If it becomes more prominent with evolution, whether or not Infernape has control of this is going to be either a really good or really bad thing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have one major beef with this whole thing though.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Infernape is too big to cling to Ash's leg.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;:|&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name='cutid1-end'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;</content>

    <lj:music>Best Thing I Never Knew I Needed</lj:music>
    <content type="html">Okay, here are some thoughts on the movie besides &amp;quot;WOW.&amp;quot; I have put spoily thoughts in another journal that I'll link to at the end of this for those who have seen the movie, but all the stuff in this journal is spoiler free.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I just... I don't.... MAN. I walked in slightly excited and walked out with this giant grin. I love when I'm wrong about being skeptic! &lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt; The characters were all emotionally investing! The story was fun! The writing was well done! Every laugh was on target but they could still make you cry (My theater was a sniffle house at times) and go &amp;quot;dawwwwwww.&amp;quot;) &lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt; There's probably gonna be some backlash about this movie with some of the themes and choices, but I'm thinking the same thing I did with the whining over the humans in &lt;em&gt;WALL-E&lt;/em&gt;: Shut up, it makes sense, quit being so sensitive. The story felt so real on a level I'm not used to from Disney while still bringing the studio's magic back. Now, that's not to insult &lt;em&gt;Bolt&lt;/em&gt;. Heck, that's not to insult &lt;em&gt;Meet the Robinsons&lt;/em&gt; (I love this film and will probably never understand why other people don't) but this just had a different feel that only Disney can provide. &lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt; Also, &lt;span class=""&gt;the antagonist is the creepiest I've seen from Disney to date. So many shivers up my spine. But he still fits into a fun story instead of throwing it all off track.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt; But anyways, today's million dollar question: &lt;em&gt;Was it better than Up or not?&lt;/em&gt; &lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt; ...Oh boy, where did I put that can of worms I had... Uh...  &lt;em&gt;Maybe?&lt;/em&gt; I know I said there was no way at some point, and you're free to laugh at me now. The fact that I'm even having trouble picking one shows that this was an amazing movie, seeing how &lt;em&gt;Up&lt;/em&gt; is my second favorite Pixar film, but... It's really impossible to compare the two. &lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt; Disney has always been an enigma, making these kinda sappy and sorta predictable stories that are still so good they've scooped up awards and critical reception like crazy. Why? I have NO IDEA, and this is coming from somebody who is as into Disney films as anybody. I guess that's what they mean by Disney Magic? Or maybe art in general isn't intended to be fully technical? Despite personally being a bigger fan of WALL-E than Up, I always have trouble telling people why. &amp;quot;It's just... it's WALL-E! D'8&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;Does anybody get what I mean? Disney's classic style is hard to compare to anybody but Disney. I dunno how award voters do it every year, but I kinda just need to say if it's a good film or not without worrying too much about what it's better or worse than outside the company, and PATF was a FANTASTIC movie. It doesn't matter if it's perfect from a technical standpoint or not. It's clever, full of heart, and entertaining like crazy. It gets you emotionally invested to a point that you don't care. xD  I tend to get really technical when I go into films without even meaning to, constantly getting my eye on animation and writing form and the like. While it'd take the force of 1000 suns to get me to stop that totally, this movie let me do that less than a lot of films. PATF just got me invested at an emotion level that I haven't been since &lt;em&gt;WALL-E&lt;/em&gt;. Sometimes I just like being an audience member, you know? I guess I'm just a sap for stuff like this too. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So does that mean I liked PATF more than Up personally? ...OH HEY I FOUND THE CAN OF WORMS! *opens* ...&lt;em&gt;Yes.&lt;/em&gt; I may regret saying that later. Took me a lot of thought to pick one (again, hard to compare the two) and they are so close to tied it's ridiculous, but for now, yes. I know it's not the most innovative or perfect film in the world, but I loved it. It's this weird emotion where I feel like I liked PATF more, but if we do get an animated Best Picture nom this year, I'll wanna smack the Oscars if it's not Up. That make sense? I'm gonna shut up on that topic before I sound like an even bigger idiot. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It doesn't help that Pixar's Brain Trust helped with the story. And Pixar's former head animator produced it. Some days I wonder how much Disney Animation Studio is turning into Pixar's 2D division. Who bought who again?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh, but before somebody asks since I compared the two, no, I don't like it better than &lt;em&gt;WALL-E&lt;/em&gt;. xD&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt; Seriously, go see this. Walt would be proud. &lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt; Oh, P.S. I finally got to see the TS3 trailer on the big screen, since my theater accidentally ran the teaser at TS3D. The dude in front of me was clearly a Pixar nut. 8 )&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a ljaddtriggersobjectstatus="mouseout" href="http://netbug009.livejournal.com/186736.html" target="_blank"&gt;And here is part 2, and where spoilers begin!&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;a name='cutid1-end'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;</content>

    <content type="html">&lt;strong&gt;This is part 2!&lt;/strong&gt; Go to part 1 first! Yes, it came out that messy. Setting spoilers apart while not drowning my flist and all. xD;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;GUYSSSSSSS. TIANA AND NAVEEN ARE SO CUTE! SO. CUTE. I just loved the dynamic between them. It reminded me of this weird mix between Spova and WEVE and did I mention it was TOTALLY CUTE? TOTALLY CUTE AND AWKWARD. Seriously, just everything with those two dragged me along in the best way. I think I'll need to watch this a few more times before I catch everything, cause fandom keeps saying things that happened in the film with the villian and stuff that I barely noticed cause I was so busy drowining in cute. I mean, I was sitting with my knees up in the chair and my hands laced together next to my cheek with my head tilted against them. Seriously, just like in cartoons when a character is watching an adorable movie. I'm not exaggerating. DFGDFJNGFJGNFJHNFHGJN! But it wasn't JUST cute, but also had sorta a realistic feel. Not like, totally realistic. It's Disney. But there was actually chemistry between the characters beyond the wishes and curses. It was nice to see two characters in the same mess and forced to bond instead of cursing one and making the other be all &amp;quot;IMA GUNNA RESCUE YOU!&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;RAY. POOR RAY. MY THEATER CRIED. But that was seriously such an epic subversion of Disney Death. I thought &amp;quot;oh he's gonna glow and come back blah blah blah&amp;quot; and then THE STAR THING. ;_; I was shaking my fist and cursing Disney under my breath for once again tearing my heartstrings out. Wasn't Kerchak enough for you people?! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And Louis. xD I laughed so hard at his story about his attempts playing on a steamboat. When I was squeeing like a pathetic shipper or crying I was laughing. &amp;quot;I FOOOOUUUUNNNND THE STIIIIIICK! 8D&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And man, the baddie. I was shivering the whole movie... until he stepped on Ray. It was like I was overcoming fears with the characters. I got so mad that from then on I just wanted to punch him in the face. Also, I've heard a LOT of Christians complaining about how demonic this guy is... and I'll never get them. HE'S THE BAD GUY. When you put light into the darkest room possible, the light becomes brighter and more notable. Having a bad guy who was basically a demon actually invested me MORE as a Christian personally, because I felt like he was symbolic of temptation in our lives as a whole. That made Tiana and Naveen's situation easy to relate with despite how outlandish it was. Darkness in films isn't an issue: It's darkness being glorified. Seriously. Some days I wonder if there's a group of Christians reading a translation of the Bible where Satan pets kittens or something and they're the ones griping about this stuff. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The fact that the star can be equated so easily to prayer was also helpful in making this connection. In fact, I think this was a great message of doing your best each day that Christians don't get talked to enough about: It's so easy for us to pray and then forget that we still need to come halfway. God didn't tell Gideon to go sit on a couch while he dealt with the Mennonites. He gave Gideon a task that was in his power if he did his best. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The songs were wayyyy too catchy. I dunno when they'll get out of my head, but I could probably start the process by not listening to the soundtrack OVER AND OVER AND OVER. Not my fault Disney is streaming it this week. I think my favs are &lt;em&gt;When We're Human&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;Ma Belle Evangeline&lt;/em&gt;. The later, I just loved the scene with. Just... DAWWWW. And yes, I liked the pop song. Sue me. (The credits were adorable also!)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think Naveen is my favorite character by the end, even though at first I couldn't stand him. I guess I have a thing for the &amp;quot;Ladykiller in Love&amp;quot; trope. He just has some really awesome and adorable character development. I will admit, however, I find him totally ugly in that prince outfit. I like his street outfit more. xDDD;;;; ...Heck, I think my favorite designs of Tiana and Naveen were as frogs. They were so well thought out and animated. Princely!Naveen looked like a lot of other princes to me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also, I really loved the theme of the movie. We have all our distractions and temptations in life but what's most important is lo.... wait.... &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-large;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;WUT.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I WAS DOOMED TO LOVE THIS MOVIE FROM THE START. THAT'S NOT EVEN FAIR DISNEY!&lt;a name='cutid1-end'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;</content>

I&amp;#39;M TIRED NOW, BUT I CAN NOT SLEEP UNTIL I PICSPAM ABOUT THIS EPISODE!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;WARNING: THIS IS HUGE.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;OKAY SO WE RETURN TO THE EPIC BATTLE...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt="" ljaddtriggersobjectstatus="mouseout" src="https://l-stat.livejournal.net/img/https_placeholder.png" fetchpriority="high" /&gt;&lt;img alt="" ljaddtriggersobjectstatus="mouseout" src="https://l-stat.livejournal.net/img/https_placeholder.png" loading="lazy" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pikachu is animated awesomely in this episode. Heck, everybody is, but Pikachu stood out today in that respect. He was battling so hard and was totally adorable.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt="" ljaddtriggersobjectstatus="mouseout" src="https://l-stat.livejournal.net/img/https_placeholder.png" loading="lazy" /&gt;&lt;img alt="" ljaddtriggersobjectstatus="mouseout" src="https://l-stat.livejournal.net/img/https_placeholder.png" loading="lazy" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ash, chill out hun. You&amp;#39;re starting to act like your Kanto self again. Ash has the right idea putting faith into his Pokemon, but he&amp;#39;s letting it be a free for all; he&amp;#39;s forgetting his job is to control them to help them battle better. If they are calling the shots on who battles there&amp;#39;s little point. 8( I wanted to hug Ash so much over all this.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt="" ljaddtriggersobjectstatus="mouseout" src="https://l-stat.livejournal.net/img/https_placeholder.png" loading="lazy" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And so, the episode starts off pretty even, and then...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt="" ljaddtriggersobjectstatus="mouseout" src="https://l-stat.livejournal.net/img/https_placeholder.png" loading="lazy" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;URSARING.

Like it&amp;#39;s a perfect match Uh... alright... Yeah, I guess of the guys on hand Chimchar was the best suited, but Ash&amp;#39;s decision was rather fast. Did he really figure types that quickly or is he aware of the rivalry here and still letting it hold him? :/&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt="" ljaddtriggersobjectstatus="mouseout" src="https://l-stat.livejournal.net/img/https_placeholder.png" loading="lazy" /&gt;&lt;img alt="" ljaddtriggersobjectstatus="mouseout" src="https://l-stat.livejournal.net/img/https_placeholder.png" loading="lazy" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I. AM. NOT. AFRAID. OF. YOU. ANYMORE. Chimchar has grown up so much. &amp;lt;3 And Paul is just all &amp;quot;*GLARE*&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt="" ljaddtriggersobjectstatus="mouseout" src="https://l-stat.livejournal.net/img/https_placeholder.png" loading="lazy" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then both side switch, Paul only having brought Buzzy out to Light Screen things. Jessie is getting rather annoyed with this. xD&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt="" ljaddtriggersobjectstatus="mouseout" src="https://l-stat.livejournal.net/img/https_placeholder.png" loading="lazy" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;GLISCOR DIDN&amp;#39;T EVEN GET A CHANCE.

SO? I STILL FELL OVER ON THE COUCH FROM AN EPIC FISTPUMP. YES!!!! HECK YES!!!! ABOUT TIME MR. 129 EPISODES!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;HE POSED WHILE EVOLVING! POSED! POSED!!!! I CAN&amp;#39;T GET OVER HOW AWESOME THAT IS!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;OH MY GOSH GUYS MONFERNO IS ADORABLE AND I WAS SO WORRIED THEY WERE GONNA USED THE SUMMER CAMP!MONFERNO VOICE WHICH TOTALLY DOESN&amp;#39;T FIT BUT THEY USED A VOICE THAT IS LIKE HIS OLD ONE BUT A BIT MORE MATURE AND IT&amp;#39;S ADORABLE AND TOTALLY PERFECT!!!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;AND HE US SUPER FAST AND DOES FLIPS AND DOES AN EPIC MACH PUNCH THAT&amp;#39;S SHOCKWAVE BRUSHES PAUL IN THE FACE!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt="" ljaddtriggersobjectstatus="mouseout" src="https://l-stat.livejournal.net/img/https_placeholder.png" loading="lazy" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;YEAH PAUL. GO ON, GLARE.

Yeah, but... I&amp;#39;m glad it didn&amp;#39;t turn out to be Blaze. As awesome as that would have been in the moment, I don&amp;#39;t WANT Ferny to get over all his issues in one fell swoop via evolving. After opening up a plot like that, pulling an &amp;quot;I EVOLVED AND GOT BETTER&amp;quot; just does not fit. I hope to see Blaze come up again in the future. This won&amp;#39;t be Paul and Ash&amp;#39;s last fight, after all, and what Brock said about Chimchar being the cornerstone for their rivalry is pretty darn accurate. Not like we don&amp;#39;t have a chance to bring this back up in the future. I&amp;#39;m glad they noted Blaze, cause that means they are not done with it. They can&amp;#39;t be. Everything in this season is too well connected for that to slide.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt="" ljaddtriggersobjectstatus="mouseout" src="https://l-stat.livejournal.net/img/https_placeholder.png" loading="lazy" /&gt;&lt;img alt="" ljaddtriggersobjectstatus="mouseout" src="https://l-stat.livejournal.net/img/https_placeholder.png" loading="lazy" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But in the end... double crap.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh Ash, that scream. That was just... ;_; Ash was DEVASTATED. He got beat HARD. Paul had 4 POKEMON LEFT. Yiiikes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt="" ljaddtriggersobjectstatus="mouseout" src="https://l-stat.livejournal.net/img/https_placeholder.png" loading="lazy" /&gt;&lt;img alt="" ljaddtriggersobjectstatus="mouseout" src="https://l-stat.livejournal.net/img/https_placeholder.png" loading="lazy" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt="" ljaddtriggersobjectstatus="mouseout" src="https://l-stat.livejournal.net/img/https_placeholder.png" loading="lazy" /&gt;&lt;img alt="" ljaddtriggersobjectstatus="mouseout" src="https://l-stat.livejournal.net/img/https_placeholder.png" loading="lazy" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dawwwww, I really loved and hated this part. Ash is the saddest I&amp;#39;ve seen him in a LOOONG time, but at the same time, this was a major &amp;quot;PHEW&amp;quot; moment for me. Unless a Pokemon outright has a Charmelion moment, it&amp;#39;s hard to judge personality in a heated battle. But in the end, Monferno feels sad, Ash tells him he did great while picking him up, and Monferno appreciates it. It&amp;#39;s the same dynamic in their friendship as it has always been. I&amp;#39;m so glad they didn&amp;#39;t totally change Chimchar&amp;#39;s character or anything. I was worried about that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt="" ljaddtriggersobjectstatus="mouseout" src="https://l-stat.livejournal.net/img/https_placeholder.png" loading="lazy" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;BUT POOR ASH. ;_; Ash&amp;#39;s pain here resonates with me. Paul is like the school bully who always gets their way and people treat fairly kindly or even admire, despite that you know how terrible a person they really are to people they feel are under them. I was on the victim end of people like that in high school and it&amp;#39;s just... just ugh. Seeing somebody like that win over you when you try your best to be kind to others SUCKS.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, that&amp;#39;s all for today. I need sleep. ^^;&lt;endljcut&gt;&lt;/endljcut&gt;&lt;a name='cutid1-end'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;</content>

It was nice to see Suddowoodo's crowning awesome. I love Croagunk, I really do, and I have no complaints about his level of screentime (seeing how much screentime my fav gets, I don't have the right to) but these guys have been quiet for a while. Good to see them. :D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The little pokemon sure has grown up too. He's getting to be a really strong battler.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://l-stat.livejournal.net/img/https_placeholder.png" ljaddtriggersobjectstatus="mouseout" alt="" loading="lazy" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And Ash is still excited for his battle with Paul. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://l-stat.livejournal.net/img/https_placeholder.png" ljaddtriggersobjectstatus="mouseout" alt="" loading="lazy" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;WITH&amp;nbsp;EVERY&amp;nbsp;MOVE&amp;nbsp;HE&amp;nbsp;MAKES&amp;nbsp;ANOTHER&amp;nbsp;CHANCE&amp;nbsp;HE&amp;nbsp;TAKES&lt;br /&gt;*dodges brick*&lt;br /&gt;ODDS&amp;nbsp;ARE&amp;nbsp;HE&amp;nbsp;WON'T LIVE&amp;nbsp;TO&amp;nbsp;SEE&amp;nbsp;TOMORROWWWWWWW&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;...Nah, he probably will.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That's all, folks! &lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;a name='cutid1-end'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;</content>

    <content type="html">Thank you, Sunday morning re-airs. :D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://l-stat.livejournal.net/img/https_placeholder.png" ljaddtriggersobjectstatus="mouseout" alt="" fetchpriority="high" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;DARN THIS IS A PRETTY SHOT THAT WE DID NOT GET IN WIDESCREEN THIS WEEK. Yeah, CN decided to make the Widescreen ratio for their HD channel only. It even cut some of the opening credits off. Laaame. ;_;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img ljaddtriggersobjectstatus="mouseout" src="https://l-stat.livejournal.net/img/https_placeholder.png" alt="" loading="lazy" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;CROAGUNK'D!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And Chansey'd! I ship it now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img ljaddtriggersobjectstatus="mouseout" src="https://l-stat.livejournal.net/img/https_placeholder.png" alt="" loading="lazy" /&gt; &lt;img ljaddtriggersobjectstatus="mouseout" src="https://l-stat.livejournal.net/img/https_placeholder.png" alt="" loading="lazy" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Okay, okay, seriously now, this battle is nuts. Between his talk with Paul and getting an official referee, it's pretty clear Regii is REALLY serious about this. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img ljaddtriggersobjectstatus="mouseout" src="https://l-stat.livejournal.net/img/https_placeholder.png" alt="" loading="lazy" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And so Ash gets his Pokemon back and checks on the- WHY&amp;nbsp;IS&amp;nbsp;CHIMCHAR&amp;nbsp;SMILING&amp;nbsp;LIKE&amp;nbsp;THAT IT'S CREEPY?! Seriously, who was drawing him today? ._. SERIOUSLY&amp;nbsp;GUYS HE'S STARING&amp;nbsp;INTO&amp;nbsp;MY&amp;nbsp;SOUL.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So anyways, Ash FINALLY flat out says that he hopes to get Paul to respect his battling style a bit more from this match.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img ljaddtriggersobjectstatus="mouseout" src="https://l-stat.livejournal.net/img/https_placeholder.png" alt="" loading="lazy" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Chimchar shows his enthusiasm for this idea with poorly done animation. Still, I love how open Chimchar is now. He came to the group so afraid to say anything or even speak up to offer to help somebody, and now he's like, in sync with Ash.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img ljaddtriggersobjectstatus="mouseout" src="https://l-stat.livejournal.net/img/https_placeholder.png" alt="" loading="lazy" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Brock brings up what Cynthia said about Chimchar way back, and even goes as far as to say Chimchar is kinda the cornerstone for Ash and Paul's rivalry. GOSH&amp;nbsp;I&amp;nbsp;LOVE&amp;nbsp;THE&amp;nbsp;WRITING&amp;nbsp;IN&amp;nbsp;THIS&amp;nbsp;SEASON. THE&amp;nbsp;POKEMON&amp;nbsp;ARE&amp;nbsp;INVOLVED&amp;nbsp;IN&amp;nbsp;EVERYTHING&amp;nbsp;SO&amp;nbsp;MUCH&amp;nbsp;MORE. SERIOUSLY. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On the other side of the animation spectrum for the day is Dawn. She had some really strong emotional expressions, and she needed them, cause man she was worried.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img ljaddtriggersobjectstatus="mouseout" src="https://l-stat.livejournal.net/img/https_placeholder.png" alt="" loading="lazy" /&gt;&lt;img ljaddtriggersobjectstatus="mouseout" src="https://l-stat.livejournal.net/img/https_placeholder.png" alt="" loading="lazy" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img ljaddtriggersobjectstatus="mouseout" src="https://l-stat.livejournal.net/img/https_placeholder.png" alt="" loading="lazy" /&gt;&lt;img ljaddtriggersobjectstatus="mouseout" src="https://l-stat.livejournal.net/img/https_placeholder.png" alt="" loading="lazy" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I don't really have a point by point for the battle its self, cause the whole thing was just INTENSE. Paul's got Ash's number and Ash is starting to lose it. Crap. A few thoughts I had though were &amp;quot;POOR&amp;nbsp;GLISCOR&amp;nbsp;D8&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;I'm surprised Weavile was first out&amp;quot;. Seriously on Gliscor though, I was kinda hoping it'd get to battle its old leader again. Now I dunno if Paul even brought it. Yeah yeah, I do know a bit about next episode from caps, but I forgot the vast majority of this fight, as I realized watching this today&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img ljaddtriggersobjectstatus="mouseout" src="https://l-stat.livejournal.net/img/https_placeholder.png" alt="" loading="lazy" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;TO&amp;nbsp;BE&amp;nbsp;CONTINUED.&lt;a name='cutid1-end'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;</content>

    <content type="html">Wow, this has just been good episode after good episode, huh? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One again with picspam. ^^ I think this one is gonna be less fangirly and more of a strange mix of crack and totally serious though. xD;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;WHEN WE LAST LEFT OUR HEROES, LIFE WAS HAPPY, BADGES HAD BEEN WON, AND...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://l-stat.livejournal.net/img/https_placeholder.png" ljaddtriggersobjectstatus="mouseout" alt="" fetchpriority="high" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;....Oh crud. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://l-stat.livejournal.net/img/https_placeholder.png" ljaddtriggersobjectstatus="mouseout" alt="" loading="lazy" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yeah, so Paul's back, and Zoey gets a taste of his attitude. Actually, she gets caught up on a LOT of stuff Paul related. Chimchar this, Reji that, etc etc etc.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://l-stat.livejournal.net/img/https_placeholder.png" ljaddtriggersobjectstatus="mouseout" alt="" loading="lazy" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;HAI PAUL! HOW ARE YOU DOING HEY I WON A BADGE YOU KNOW ARE YOU TRAINING CAN I THANK TORTERRA?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh Ash, you mean nothing but good, and Paul needs somebody to turn the other cheek at him, but GEEZ. xD &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://l-stat.livejournal.net/img/https_placeholder.png" ljaddtriggersobjectstatus="mouseout" alt="" loading="lazy" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I should have guessed Zoey and Paul were gonna &lt;strike&gt;cause shipping bait&lt;/strike&gt; get into an arguement if they met. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;...Seriously, if Paul stops being a jerk someday, I'm probably jumping on the AgainstShipping bandwagon. xD But for now, I still totally support him with Ursula (Yes, I know they never met, but COME ON.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://l-stat.livejournal.net/img/https_placeholder.png" ljaddtriggersobjectstatus="mouseout" alt="" loading="lazy" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh look! It's Regi to add some sunshine to this epis-&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://l-stat.livejournal.net/img/https_placeholder.png" ljaddtriggersobjectstatus="mouseout" alt="" loading="lazy" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-WHAT THE HECK?! Seriously, that was RANDOM. I had to do a double take. xD &amp;quot;Oh hey, they're talking and there's that thing in the... wait... *rewinds*&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It probably doesn't help that I never got that far into Battle Frontier, so I didn't know about the Battle Pyramid before this. ^^;;;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://l-stat.livejournal.net/img/https_placeholder.png" ljaddtriggersobjectstatus="mouseout" alt="" loading="lazy" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And Ash explains it...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://l-stat.livejournal.net/img/https_placeholder.png" ljaddtriggersobjectstatus="mouseout" alt="" loading="lazy" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;WHAT.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;WHAT.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;PAUL IS SHOWING EMOTION.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This should have been my first sign that this episode was gonna be cool. I mean, Paul? Emotion? Oh, something has gotta happen now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://l-stat.livejournal.net/img/https_placeholder.png" ljaddtriggersobjectstatus="mouseout" alt="" loading="lazy" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Random Comment: The more I notice Wobbufett's Japanese name pun, the more sad I am that it got lost in translation. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://l-stat.livejournal.net/img/https_placeholder.png" ljaddtriggersobjectstatus="mouseout" alt="" loading="lazy" /&gt; &lt;img src="https://l-stat.livejournal.net/img/https_placeholder.png" ljaddtriggersobjectstatus="mouseout" alt="" loading="lazy" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-large;"&gt;CROAGUNKED!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sorry, couldn't resist. IT'S BEEN TOO LONG.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So yeah, not much to comment on on the battle its self as much as the emotions running through it. The animation was a bit above par (or is this becoming par? :D) but otherwise, this was about the humans. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://l-stat.livejournal.net/img/https_placeholder.png" ljaddtriggersobjectstatus="mouseout" alt="" loading="lazy" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, geez, Paul wasn't always a jerk. He just got the wrong idea and ran with it. I'm not EXCUSING it. His being a jerk to others is not to be excused by that. I just find it interesting seeing what makes him tick. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://l-stat.livejournal.net/img/https_placeholder.png" ljaddtriggersobjectstatus="mouseout" alt="" loading="lazy" /&gt; &lt;img src="https://l-stat.livejournal.net/img/https_placeholder.png" ljaddtriggersobjectstatus="mouseout" alt="" loading="lazy" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And geez, Paul was going INSANE in this episode. And he finally comes out with at least part of his thought process. &amp;quot;MY WILL IS MY STRENGTH!&amp;quot; I wish I had that pic where Ash just looked like &amp;quot;8O!&amp;quot; at Paul's rambling, and more importantly, I wish I knew what he was thinking. Was he surprised at such a comment from somebody who acts like tactics are all that matters? Was he appalled that Paul didn't see his Pokemon as any part of his strength, but rather as tools? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yes, I'd go as far as to say he doesn't even see them as fellow sentient creatures. It shows with the way he treats Chimchar, and Ursaring in this episode wasn't much different.  I mean, the more I look at Ash and Chimchar's experiences, the more it seems like Paul shows up later to, or already has, shown the exact opposite action with his Pokemon at some point or another. And I'm not just refering to stuff brought up in Tears For Fears. He doesn't show his regret when he makes a dumb move and gets his pokemon hurt due to his emotions. A few months ago, Chimchar got hurt because Ash was being emotional, and Ash apologized to the point of melodrama. Are the writers trying to pump these opposites this much or did it just happen to be that way? Cause if it was intended... wow, this is the closest knit season of Pokemon by far.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I wish he'd given the answer of why he wants this path. What IS&amp;nbsp;his damage with his brother, anyway? I wonder if it has to do with the parents who we never see. Paul is such fanfic fodder.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://l-stat.livejournal.net/img/https_placeholder.png" ljaddtriggersobjectstatus="mouseout" alt="" loading="lazy" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;AND&amp;nbsp;OH&amp;nbsp;SNAP&amp;nbsp;THERE'S GONNA&amp;nbsp;BE&amp;nbsp;SOME&amp;nbsp;BATTLIN&amp;nbsp;GOIN&amp;nbsp;ON&amp;nbsp;HERE. 8D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Uh... I'd speculate, but I already kinda sorta know some... okay, a lot about this. So I'll shut up and just say this is gonna be amazing.&lt;a name='cutid1-end'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;</content>

    <content type="html">I haven't done an episode review for Pokemon in a while, huh? Now's as good a time as any to get back on that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Complete with a picspam!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And Chimchar spazzing!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Huh? The later's nothing new? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://l-stat.livejournal.net/img/https_placeholder.png" ljaddtriggersobjectstatus="mouseout" alt="" fetchpriority="high" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Candice is pretty cool, no pun intended. I like how she ties her sweatshirt around her waist when it's time to get serious. That kinda sounds like something I'd do. xD Come to think of it, aside from how girly she is, I can kinda relate to her.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://l-stat.livejournal.net/img/https_placeholder.png" ljaddtriggersobjectstatus="mouseout" alt="" loading="lazy" /&gt; &lt;img src="https://l-stat.livejournal.net/img/https_placeholder.png" ljaddtriggersobjectstatus="mouseout" alt="" loading="lazy" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Poor Gliscor, getting beat pretty quick again. I'd like to see them do another character development arc with it. Vs. Paul's Gliscor needs to happen at some point. Seriously.  And speaking of poor pokemon, I winced at Grotle getting PWNED. Seriously, that looked like it hurt. Just look at it! Yikes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://l-stat.livejournal.net/img/https_placeholder.png" ljaddtriggersobjectstatus="mouseout" alt="" loading="lazy" /&gt; &lt;img src="https://l-stat.livejournal.net/img/https_placeholder.png" ljaddtriggersobjectstatus="mouseout" alt="" loading="lazy" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://img201.imageshack.us/img201/9905/332d.jpg" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"&gt;&lt;strike&gt;&lt;br /&gt;MY&amp;nbsp;BUTT&amp;nbsp;SENSES&amp;nbsp;A&amp;nbsp;DISTURBANCE.*shot*&lt;/strike&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Geez, Chimchar, it's like every time we see you you've learned some new trick. I mean, sensing your opponent's movements? Are you turning into &lt;strike&gt;Antauri&lt;/strike&gt; Yoda or something? You win epically. xD Seriously, this character's development arc is just... just... my inner writer loves this just as much as my monkey fan does. Widdle pokemon ish gwowin up. &amp;lt;3 I was kinda surprised to see Chimchar being Mr. save the gym battle AGAIN. The fact that he's still like &lt;a href="http://img383.imageshack.us/i/543.jpg/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"&gt;&amp;quot;OH&amp;nbsp;HAY&amp;nbsp;I&amp;nbsp;WON?!&amp;quot;&lt;/a&gt; after all this is hilarious, but that's Chimchar for ya.  I seriously thought they were gonna knock him out before Ash returned him that first time. I guess the fandom probably has some people complaining over on the &amp;quot;overused pokemon&amp;quot; thread via serebii by now, but I'm too horribly bias to care, I have to admit. &amp;lt;3 Then again, aside from gym battles, all he's done lately is come out for a moment to fail at starting a fire, thaw everybody out of ice, or get chased by a lawn mower.  xDDDD&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://l-stat.livejournal.net/img/https_placeholder.png" ljaddtriggersobjectstatus="mouseout" alt="" loading="lazy" /&gt; &lt;img src="https://l-stat.livejournal.net/img/https_placeholder.png" ljaddtriggersobjectstatus="mouseout" alt="" loading="lazy" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Who was his animator today, anyway? Cause they totally cuted him up.&amp;nbsp; It rocked hard. Plus, points to the storyboarder for any posing that wasn't improv'd by said animator, cause this episode had some nice stuff in that area. Except they got his flamethrower wrong, unless they're trying to imply he has better control over it now, which wouldn't surprise me much. Yeah yeah, I'm babbling about him again. But I have the right today, because this...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://l-stat.livejournal.net/img/https_placeholder.png" ljaddtriggersobjectstatus="mouseout" alt="" loading="lazy" /&gt; &lt;img src="https://l-stat.livejournal.net/img/https_placeholder.png" ljaddtriggersobjectstatus="mouseout" alt="" loading="lazy" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;...IS&amp;nbsp;ONE&amp;nbsp;BIG&amp;nbsp;CROWNING&amp;nbsp;MOMENT&amp;nbsp;OF&amp;nbsp;AWESOME. Seriously, ICE&amp;nbsp;BOARDING?! I love how even Chimchar, who is like the friendship version of a yes man, was looking at Ash funny when he was giving him orders for a second there. xD BUT&amp;nbsp;HE&amp;nbsp;WENT&amp;nbsp;WITH&amp;nbsp;IT&amp;nbsp;AND&amp;nbsp;DID&amp;nbsp;WELL&amp;nbsp;ANYWAY. IS&amp;nbsp;THERE&amp;nbsp;NOTHING&amp;nbsp;THE&amp;nbsp;ADORABLE&amp;nbsp;LITTLE&amp;nbsp;ANGST&amp;nbsp;BUCKET&amp;nbsp;CAN'T DO?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://l-stat.livejournal.net/img/https_placeholder.png" ljaddtriggersobjectstatus="mouseout" alt="" loading="lazy" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;DARNIT. THE&amp;nbsp;EPISODE&amp;nbsp;WAS&amp;nbsp;GOING&amp;nbsp;SO&amp;nbsp;WELL&amp;nbsp;TOO. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://l-stat.livejournal.net/img/https_placeholder.png" ljaddtriggersobjectstatus="mouseout" alt="" loading="lazy" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh, and one last random note: Anybody notice that Chimchar likes to cling to Ash's leg? Like, all the time? That's totally cute. xD&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;TL:DR = THIS WAS THE CUTEST GYM BATTLE EVER AND&amp;nbsp;I&amp;nbsp;LOVE&amp;nbsp;IT. I was grinning from ear to ear in my own little world of cuteness. xD &lt;br /&gt;&lt;strike&gt;&lt;br /&gt;HA. CHIMCHAR&amp;nbsp;ACTS&amp;nbsp;LIKE&amp;nbsp;HE'S IN&amp;nbsp;A&amp;nbsp;CONTEST. MORE&amp;nbsp;MONKEYSHIPPING&amp;nbsp;SIMILARITIES GUYS &amp;lt;3. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strike&gt;&lt;a name='cutid1-end'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;</content>

    <title>WALL-E Thank You Card Project!</title>

    <content type="html">&lt;strong&gt;If through some twist of fate, somebody who works at Disney or Pixar is reading this, please keep the hush on it at work! It's a surprise!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, for many of us, WALL-E has touched us over the summer. So, I say we should thank Pixar for making this film for us to enjoy. &lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt; And what about Disney? They gave us a ton of great merchandise, have kept the movie in theaters for a good long time, and are doing some awesome DVD/Bluray releases for it. They deserve a thanks too! &lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt; What better way than a thank you card? Well, more like a booklet, really. &lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;Submissions for this are gonna be needed by the last day of October. That gives me enough time to get it all together, because I'd love for them to get this as close to November 18th as I can. So that's the deadline. &lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;Anybody can sign, and for the artists in the group, we also need some artwork to make it look pretty. A few fanfics will be included also, but only 2 or 3, and nothing too long. &lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt; &lt;strong&gt;The Pixar and Disney cards are each gonna have their own message. Here they are... &lt;br /&gt; &lt;/strong&gt; &lt;br /&gt; *** &lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt; Dear Pixar, &lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt; Thank you for the inspiration, heartwarming, and fun you brought us with WALL-E this summer! Some went &amp;quot;awww!&amp;quot; over WALL-E and EVE, some cheered at the action/explosions, some laughed as M-O went on his epic cleaning mission, and some couldn't say anything because we were just that amazed, but all of us were touched. &lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt; P.S. Keep working hard on Up! We're looking forward to it! &lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt; **** &lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt; Dear Disney, &lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;Thank you for helping Pixar bring us WALL-E! It was a fantastic movie and we all enjoyed it! You guys did a great job advertising it, and gave a fans a ton of stuff to celebrate over including great merchandise and awesome DVD/Bluray releases! Thanks for believing in such an unorthodox but beautiful film! &lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt; *** &lt;br /&gt; &lt;strong&gt;Signatures&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;So, anyways, if you want to sign either or both the cards, here's what you have to do. It's simple. Make some kinda signature for yourself, digitally or traditional/scanned, and post it on this thread before the deadline, and you'll be added. When you post, comment if you want the signature to go towards the Disney one, the Pixar one, or both. &lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt; There are a few guidelines for the signature though. &lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt; 1. You may use either your real name or a username. Whatever you feel comfortable with. &lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;2. The signature can be any color, so feel free to sign with your favorite. However, keep in mind it's gonna be on white paper, so year. &lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt; 3. Please leave the background of your signature white or transparent if you can do that. &lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt; 4. Personal notes are fine, but not a paragraph please. &lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt; 5. Please try and keep the signature a reasonable size. Or I'll just shrink it anyway. &lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt; &lt;strong&gt;Fan Art&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;You can also submit fan art for the cover/back/inner decor of the card. It can be new for the card or it can be something you've drawn in the past. All I ask it that it be WALL-E and not anything inappropriate. &lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt; If you wish to submit a piece of fan art, please submit it on this topic, an say which card you want it on or both. Feel free to do multiple pieces/different ones for the different cards, but keep in mind that I'm gonna make sure everybody who submitted has one on before I put on second pictures, so if there's one you especially want on the card, make sure you say it. &lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt; &lt;strong&gt;Fan Fiction&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;Writers can submit fan fiction, but only a total of 5 fanfics will be sent between the two cards (well.... 6. I hope it's okay that I add one of my own to the mix, since I'm putting this thing together and all ^^;) 3 on each. If you want yours considered, please submit a link to it here (pasting whole fics will clog this place up fast) and it'll be added to the consideration list. Poetry is allowed as well. Deadline for this is a week before the deadline for the rest of the card, so people have time to vote on which 5 are gonna go. Please state if you want to enter your fic for the disney one or the pixar one or both. You can enter multiple fics, but if more than one of yours wins, only the highest voted is gonna be sent and a runner up will be picked. We wanna show as much of the fandom as possible here, so year. Fics can be new or old. Doesn't matter. Just, keep them one shots. 3 pages long tops. &lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt; ** &lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt; So, that's everything! Phew! Please submit your contest for this ASAP! This is gonna be fun! ^^ Feel free to ask any questions here. ^^&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;</content>

    <content type="html">Stolen from the same person. Darnit, she has found some cool memes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;LOL&amp;nbsp;&lt;span  class="ljuser  i-ljuser  i-ljuser-type-C     "  data-ljuser="wall_e_rp" lj:user="wall_e_rp" &gt;&lt;a href="https://wall-e-rp.livejournal.com/profile/"  target="_self"  class="i-ljuser-profile" &gt;&lt;img  class="i-ljuser-userhead"  src="https://l-stat.livejournal.net/img/community.png?v=556&amp;v=923.1" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="https://wall-e-rp.livejournal.com/" class="i-ljuser-username"   target="_self"   &gt;&lt;b&gt;wall_e_rp&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;AGAIN. (Mostly)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;List the first five OTPs that come into your head. &lt;br /&gt;1. PIX-E/Auto&lt;br /&gt;2. WALL-E/EVE&lt;br /&gt;3. TAM-E/M-O&lt;br /&gt;4. D-J/REQ-N&lt;br /&gt;5. Sprx/Nova (SRMTHG)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. When did you first fall in love with ship number 1?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;......It's a long story that made get me killed, but here goes nothing. It started out as a joke, and the honest truth i that I started supporting it for reals before anybody knew I was. I just kept joking about it, not wanting to bug the RPers with it. Then the mindwave disease came, and other people started taking it seriously and, well, so began epic chaos @ wall-e RP. XD&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. When did you fall in love with ship number 5?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh man. That was like, FOREVER ago. I don't remember.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3.What is your favorite moment of ship number 3?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Not many moments yet, honestly, but there was this epically adorable moment when M-O was all worried about TAM-E going home by herself. There was also the thing with the rock.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. What will the ship be if you take the boy from ship 2 and the girl from ship 1 and mesh them?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;....*twitch* &lt;span style="font-size: medium;"&gt;23-19. 23-19. WE&amp;nbsp;HAVE&amp;nbsp;A&amp;nbsp;WEVE&amp;nbsp;BREACH. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5. Vise versa.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You'd get what Auto secretly wishes he could put banners for on his blog! 8D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6. What's your favorite moment for ship 4?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kinda what's going on recently, with REQ-N being all worried about D-J.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;7. How long was there between the time you got into the fandom and the time you started shipping ship number 3? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, I had the possibility of this in the back of my head since creating the character, but ONCE&amp;nbsp;AGAIN, I shut up because I wasn't sure wht the others would think, this time the concern being OCCannon. Then one day, people were talking about pairings and it came up and there were a few &amp;quot;Yeah! That's cute! I could see that!&amp;quot; comments. Thus began the fandom's friends-to-more!Pairing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;8. When did you start shipping ship number 4?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When in cannoned. I was like &amp;quot;Oh! Didn't see that coming, but it's cute.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;10. Rank your OTPs in order.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;WEVE &lt;br /&gt;Spova&lt;br /&gt;TAM-O&lt;br /&gt;PITO&lt;br /&gt;....REQ-J? DEQ-N? This one is hard to mash name. XD&lt;a name='cutid1-end'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Choose five &lt;strike&gt;series&lt;/strike&gt; fandoms (no peeking before you choose them), list them, and then answer the questions behind the cut.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. WALL-E &lt;br /&gt;2. SRMTHG&lt;br /&gt;3. Danny Phantom&lt;br /&gt;4. Invader Zim&lt;br /&gt;5. Transformers:Animated&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. Which is your favorite series from your list? And why?&lt;br /&gt;WALL-EWALL-EWALL-E SO&amp;nbsp;AWESOME&amp;nbsp;AND&amp;nbsp;SO&amp;nbsp;BEAUTIFUL&amp;nbsp;AND&amp;nbsp;I&amp;nbsp;LOVE&amp;nbsp;THIS&amp;nbsp;MOVIE.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. If you were to pair two characters from 1 and 4, who would they be?&lt;br /&gt;Uh..... Ooh! I know! PR-T and GIR! Yes! I love it!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. What is one thing you'd like to change about 3's plot line?&lt;br /&gt;TUCKER&amp;nbsp;AND&amp;nbsp;VALARIE&amp;nbsp;SHOULD&amp;nbsp;HAVE&amp;nbsp;GOTTEN&amp;nbsp;TOGETHER. :|&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. If both main characters of 2 and 5 were falling off a cliff, which one would you save?&lt;br /&gt;Oh please. Like I could pull up a giant alien robot? A cliff to me isn't much to them anyway. *saves Chiro*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5. Which event was the most horrible for you in 1? &lt;strong&gt;SPOILER!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Horrible? What's horrible in WALL-E? If you mean just to my inner fangirl, I think we'd all agree on that scene towards the end. Though I als winced at the big smashed! moment during the holo-detector sequence.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6. Which is your least favorite character of 2?&lt;br /&gt;Cloggy Colon creature. What's the point of him again?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;8. What song reminds you of 5?&lt;br /&gt;TTRANSFORMERS!&amp;nbsp;MORE&amp;nbsp;THAN&amp;nbsp;MEETS&amp;nbsp;THE-*shot*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;9. Of 1, 3, and 5, which is the easiest to think about?&lt;br /&gt;WALL-EWALL-EWALL-E&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;10. Are the protagonists of 2 and 4 similar?&lt;br /&gt;LOL&amp;nbsp;NO. XD&lt;a name='cutid2-end'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;lt;/lj&amp;gt;</content>

    <content type="html">Choose 10 characters (preferably from the same fandom) and answer the questions that follow. No peeking until your list is done!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(Oh, BTW, I removed a few questions. I can if I want darnit.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;LOL &lt;span  class="ljuser  i-ljuser  i-ljuser-type-C     "  data-ljuser="wall_e_rp" lj:user="wall_e_rp" &gt;&lt;a href="https://wall-e-rp.livejournal.com/profile/"  target="_self"  class="i-ljuser-profile" &gt;&lt;img  class="i-ljuser-userhead"  src="https://l-stat.livejournal.net/img/community.png?v=556&amp;v=923.1" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="https://wall-e-rp.livejournal.com/" class="i-ljuser-username"   target="_self"   &gt;&lt;b&gt;wall_e_rp&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1) EVE&lt;br /&gt;2) M-O&lt;br /&gt;3) WALL-E&lt;br /&gt;4) Auto&lt;br /&gt;5) TAM-E&lt;br /&gt;6) PIX-E&lt;br /&gt;7) OSM&lt;br /&gt;8) KU-TO&lt;br /&gt;9) SAM-E&lt;br /&gt;10) REQ-N&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;1. Characters 4, 9 and 10 are at an arcade. What game do they choose to play, and who wins?&lt;/b&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SAM-E and REQ-N team up, and they STILL can't beat AUTO at the pilot wars game.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;2. Make up an e-mail address for 6.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Uh... PIX-E@Axiom.com? Reporters tend to use their names. Makes them easier to remember.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;3. If 8 had an iPod or some kind of music player, what kinds of songs would you find in it?&lt;/b&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;KU-TO=Ratatouille soundtrack? But like, all the stuff related to Skinner/the health inspector/hatred of rats in the kitchen. And probably like, a ton of cooking podcasts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;4. What would you do if 9 suddenly paid you a visit?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&amp;quot;...SAM-E, How did you escape? O.o&amp;quot;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;5. Do you think 6 and 4 are made for each other? &lt;/b&gt;(PIX-E and Auto)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;WHY YES. YES I DO. 8D &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;6. 1 challenges 3 to a no-holds-barred duel. Who will win and how?&lt;/b&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;WHY ARE THEY FIGHTING?! D8 Well, if this happens, WALL-E would win. EVE is no match against WALL-E's woobie powers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;7. 7, 2 and 1 order a pizza. What toppings does each one request, and what do the others think of the choices?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;....None of them can eat.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*turns them all into humans*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Okay then! Um.... EVE wants veggies. WALL-E wants whatever EVE wants. OSM wants pepperoni. They settle on pizza with a little bit of each.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;8. What subject would 1 teach if s/he were a teacher/professor?&lt;/b&gt; (EVE)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strike&gt;Shooting things.&lt;/strike&gt; Biology.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;10. 8 sings karaoke and dedicates a song to 7. What song would s/he dedicate and why?&lt;/b&gt; (KU-TO and OSM)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;.....Uh.... They've never met. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;11. How would 8 court 6?&lt;/b&gt; (KU-TO and PIX-E)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium;"&gt;AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. I HAVE NO IDEA.  &lt;/span&gt;Uh.... Maybe he'd offer to show her some cooking tips for an article in the newspaper? Sure......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;12. Describe the relationship between 2 and 8 in the canon. Would you change it? Why?&lt;/b&gt; (SAM-E and M-O)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They've never talked. Doesn't bother me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;13. In your list, who do you think is the perfect match for 3 and why?&lt;/b&gt; (WALL-E)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;...Do I even have to say it? Seriously? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;14. 2 has a dream where 10 tells him/her to save 1, who is facing certain doom. What would 2 do? &lt;/b&gt;(M-O, REQ-N, and EVE)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wonder why REQ-N can't do it herself. She's the one with an ion cannon.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;15. 9  and 6 are about to get married, until 3crashes their wedding and abducts 9against his/her will. 6  follows them, but must forge an uneasy alliance with his/her archrival, 1.&lt;/b&gt; (SAM-E, PIX-E, WALL-E, EVE.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, WALL-E is being controlled by the Pito shippers, and PIX-E must team up with EVE to save SAM-E and WALL-E both. Oh, and the wedding was arranged. EVE is PIX-E's archrival because Auto likes EVE and PIX-E likes Auto.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;....I can't believe I just sorted that mess out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;16. 8 receives a gift from 9. Does s/he open it or not? If so, what is inside?&lt;/b&gt; (KU-TO and SAM-E)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If he opened it, probably either a trust-gaining thing he likes or something that's gonna cause him major problems. XD&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;17. 4 is walking home when s/he sees a cute fluffy creature, which promptly begins rubbing itself against his/her legs. Will s/he kick it away, or take it home?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Auto doesn't have legs, but putting that point aside....I'm not sure anymore. XD&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;19. What smiley/emoticon would best describe 5?&amp;nbsp; &lt;/b&gt;(TAM-E)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Right now? D8. In general? ^^;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;20. If you had the chance to rewrite 1&amp;rsquo;s life, how would you change it?&lt;/b&gt; (EVE)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;NEVAR. IT'S PERFECT&amp;nbsp;THE&amp;nbsp;WAY&amp;nbsp;IT&amp;nbsp;IS. NO&amp;nbsp;MESSING&amp;nbsp;WITH&amp;nbsp;MY&amp;nbsp;WEVE!&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;</content>
