I am cross-posting from FA so everyone gets a chance to read my entry. ^^

It's been about a month since I last posted and since then...there's been a lot of stupidity in the world. But that's not what I'm here to talk about. I'm here to talk about Metapod wannabes that look like green pokeblocks (or batteries which is what cocoon is based on).

I give Game Freak a salute for one of the most creative legendaries in a long time. The Electric/Fairy type guardian. It's a very unique typing and a very unique name and as Groudon makes perpetual sunny day in primal form, this guy makes electric terrain as his ability. Same goes with Drampa (though if you ask me I'd take the Japanese name anyday since it's much cooler) though a Normal typing is a two-edged sword since it only games an advantage of immunity to ghosts and a weakness to fighting types. On the other hand, I wish Game Freak would have made some effort to put the XYZ stuff into the 6th Gen games. They made the full power of Diancie and Hoopa available only in ORAS, why not the Zygarde cores, cells, 10% and full power forms (though why is it like Zen mode Darmanitan) or the Thousand Arrows move? Land's Wrath is a waste when there's always earthquake.

In other news on a more personal note, I have spread out a bit from FA. I doubt I'll get the same viewership of the pieces I commissioned and the stories that go with them, but they are there in case one site or another goes down and you just have to check out my artwork. ^^ Speaking of new horizons, as you may have seen on two of my latest postings, I have a story that is going up on IB that might be of interest. It's currently registered viewers right now though so my work doesn't end up on other sites by guests. My story, "Not Quiet Elementary" will be exclusively over on IB. However I will put some of the SFW pieces up here. Despite all the mischief in the story, there some good tame scenes that are good for a wider audience to check out. It is likely I will focus on one story at at time. At least till I can get a new computer built and get a good word processor (I am only working on notepad and that's a challenge in of itself).

Speaking of IB, I will post some of my naughtier pics up there too. Both ones I have loaded here and some that you will only see there too.

I might share some more stuff if I am at the mood, but have a happy 4th, have a root beer float (Saranac, A&W, Sprecher, your pick) and don't get that AC con crud now. :P
