dear pillow prince,
gag answer: Chris Rock got donkeyslapped so hard he remembered how terrible Lethal Weapon 4 was
real talk: it looks pretty piss poor for a Black man at a white-dominated awards ceremony to tell a misogynoiristic (anti-Black woman) about another Black man’s Black wife, and for that Black woman’s Black husband to immediately turn to an act of aggression on a national stage in front of all these motherfuckin’ white folx
i have literally no other opinion except neither should’ve happened lol, the clownery is HEAVY with this one, bros
dear lizard queen,
the revolution is already here babe, if you hhaven’t noticed it’s because youre the one hiding
do you mean fav pokemon battle from the anime? or like from the main line games or what? because if i had to parse an answer from all the available responses, it helps me to start with my LEAST favorite(s) which would be, and shoutout if y’all remember any of these:
#1 — this cow (and her Miltank)
#2 — this psychotic bullshit from Pokemon Ranger
#3 Tate and Liza LOOL?? wtf was this type disadvantage and electrocuted Swellow thing
ok i can’t realistically decide my fav battle from the anime but it would be between:
- VS Winona (i liked the animations of Swellow vs Swellow and Winona’s Skarmory, Fishy will appreciate this reference)
- VS Harrison (during the Johto League, i used to own this series of episodes on GBA Video LMFAOOO)
- VS Harley? (or maybe Solidad? May had some good Contest battles… can y’all tell which era of anime i grew up with??)
dear greta garbodelfuego,
yes babe but literally only from the Glorybound in Birmingham, Alabama hahaha like i’m not sure i ever even ended up at the one in Ttown… listen i was a nervous 18-yr-old that had never met anyone from online irl (let alone from smogoon) and had zero capacity for living up to that level of commitment
if we made those plans these days? absolutely would, but i’d clown your ass and scare you the whole time
dear caffeineboosy,
have you ever had a dreams thats that you, um, you had you’d you you could you do, you wi- you want, you... you could do so-you... you do-you could you want - you want him to do you so much you could do anything?
dear aurora borelais,
still figuring thatout, let me know if you think of anything
oh my bad i meant pokemon showdown battle that you still remember. Btw charizard from ranger wasn't that bad, i still have ptsd from that fucking final battle against the legendary dogs.
why?
welcome back from your haitus!
dear oglemi (fun fact i used to pronounce this “oh-glee-me” before i found it’s literally just your fucking name),
i’m still not used to it, especially since i have like one foot and two fingers back in the door, it’s crazy that we’re basically in what can be considered at least IMO the 3rd generation, teetering on the precipice of the 4th generation (if you consider roughly 5 years per “generation” of users that speak a certain way, understand a lexicon of inner circle + broad stroke references to Smogon lore, etc.) of Smogon
as someone who entered in the middle of one generation in 2013/2014 and helped develop the end of + the beginning and full cycle of another generation between 2015-2018, it’s wild to see how things have changed—in a LOT of ways for the better, in some ways that were just completely unpredictable, and in other ways very baffling
am totally down to gallivant around and talk oldfag with you/maybe other #skiddo folks sometime
dear berks,
i can’t believe it either lmfaoo like back when we were both contributing, no shade to you but i felt like a bit of a mentor to the likes of you, fleur (even tho spiritually she was my grammar mentor…), bolts, winry, the whole LC/GP crew but really we were more contemporaries than anything
the things a few leadership roles will do to your mind when you’re young as fuck, huh? hope you’re doing well
also these days, i would never GP nearly as many as i used to because staring at my screen and copyediting drives me insane after like 3 checks per day max, but having no life beyond high school back then helped a lot lol
dear heartstrings,
this is a GREAT question
i’m thinking so hard my brain is smoking
ultimately i learned a lot about organizing teams and collaborative infrastructure from my time in leading social media (particularly Smogon’s Twitter and Facebook) that i take into my real world settings now…
… but from literally leading Showdown as an admin for like a year(?) i gleaned everything i need to know about what i don’t like: heavily saturated bureaucracy, working on a program predominately occupied by children, red tape… PS has gotten a lot better, from what people have told me, but it had to be bad, really bad, and even worse for it to get better and i happened to have been part of a downward swing of the pendulum
and that’s ok …
really it is
you conme into MY FUCKING well and disrespect ME on MY home turf?
lol
lol
don’t bother returning to smogon forums. you’ll regret it…
i literally ran the pokemon showdown webzine prior to becoming admin

the day i got owned and discovered i need glasses
dear officer jenny,
i wanted as many questions as possible because i’m a prick with a huge mouth and a craving for validation
also i am not into boyish characters/people like Nils, so i’ll kill him and fuck Hector and Jaffar at the same time to save $
Big hugs
understood. goin back on posting hiatus asap
hello my dearest dave, i wanted to ask since you brought up The Player above and that had me take a look down memory lane: do you look back fondly at your time running the zine, a time, of course, before you assumed a whole shitton more responsabilities on this site? if so, what were some of your favorite moments? xx
Favourite title in the series?
Thoughts on the funny post-Awakening phase of the fandom where everyone was having a collective aneurism over literally nothing only to suddenly stop the millisecond Three Houses was announced?
FE Heroes bad y/n
Have you ever played Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE and if so was it good it's been sitting on my shelf for the past 4 months
and finally
the...greatest question of all...
Why is Duke Oliver of Tanas, the Champion of Beauty, the greatest character to grace this franchise?
did anyone ever read the player. like at least the smog was funny sometimes

do you think there is an inherent compulsion to be aggressive w/in one's posts when one is posting

Hi you must pick one Fire Emblem character to fulfill the following criteria, and you cannot repeat:
- You would most want to hang out with once and never see again
- Get married and happily grow old together on a ranch in Canada with a herd of alpaca
- Have a terrible one-night stand that at least makes for a good story
- Enjoy an afternoon tea with each Saturday to vent about your job
- Be stuck in a car with for 18 hours on a road trip with a dead sound system
- Serve as your understudy at a high-end job where you make massive amounts of, as the kids say, dosh
- Go fishing with in the middle of winter on a cold lake with hot cocoa that has also turned cold
- Bake cookies with to pass out at the children's hospital down the road, don't worry they already checked food allergies
- Friend online but never have any obligation to meet IRL
- Destroy the entire religious infrastructure of your nation and solo the religious leader with a bullshit Galeforce clone
R u on the side of the fandom that hates Awakening and everything it stands for or do you like modern FE?
Also, have you played Triangle Strategy and, if not, do you plan on doing so?
Finally, not a question, but if you like FE/TRPGs, you should 100% play Wildermyth
