The Mighty Bowser Progress:

I’ve been busy with holiday stuff so I haven’t been able to work on it much until this week. However, it is done! But first:

The shell! I had a bit of trouble here because I accidently put part of the inner shell on upside down. Nearly had to take the thing apart. Didn’t have to though. Next:

ARMS! Honestly, I just find this picture funny. Anyway, on to the main event!

Man, he looks so cool! This has been such a cool project to work on. Now I just need to figure out where to put him. :)

So I mentioned it a few times before but I stream sometimes. I used to stream pretty regularly up until this August. I started to feel burnt out and decided to take a hiatus. On Tuesday, the 29th, I will officially be coming out of hiatus. I will be playing Paper Mario (N64) on twitch.tv/stillwill76 at 7:30 pm (CT). Part of the reason for my burnout was trying to keep up with every new big game that came out that I was interested in, so I’ll be playing some older games on my channel for a bit. I don’t think I’ll post here everytime I’m about to stream but I will post when I start a new playthrough of something. I stream every Tuesday and Thursday at 7:30 pm (CT) so if you just sit back, relax and watch me be okay at video games be sure to tune in. I can promise it’ll a pretty chill time. :)

Wake up, babe! New Bleach opening just dropped!

This one might be my favorite. Kinda gives me “Ranbu no Melody” vibes. Super excited for the premiere!

Okay, it’s definitely just the way Riruka’s hair is styled but everytime I’ve seen this art of her I think of Hina Chono from Blue Box.

I tried to find a screenshot from the fireworks festival episode since she wears a kimono in that one but had no such luck.

Japanese Parasol Zenith Gacha -Fleeting Dawn-

This is Gooey, my sibling-in-law’s new kitten. He is currently napping on me. I have been blessed on this Christmas Eve.

Last night, I finished Stone Ocean, and man what a great finale! Not only for Stone Ocean, but a great finale for the story of Jojo’s Bizzare Adventure up to this point. It’s become one of my all-time favorite anime/manga. Gonna start reading Steel Ball Run now because who lnows when that’s gonna get adapted? I’ve heard many good things so I’m very excited.

So I had speculated before that when Ingo was transported to Hisui, because they're two of the prizes that you can buy in any incarnation of the Battle Subway, it's not a stretch of the imagination to think that Ingo may have had a Razor Fang and Razor Claw on him. And if this is true, then it's entirely possible that he was the person responsible for Lady Sneasler becoming... Well... A Sneasler. If he was responsible for her evolution, it would certainly explain why Ingo was allowed to become a Warden in spite of being an outsider to the Pearl Clan when they seem to have a distrust of strangers.

But thinking about it... Actually... Maybe every Warden has a deep tie to their ward like that. We obviously see that Palina was at least partially responsible for Growlithe evolving into Lord Arcanine. (Without a Fire Stone to boot!) But it would also absolutely make sense that Lian would have dug up some Black Augurite which was later used to evolve Scyther into Lord Kleavor!

The more I think about it, really the more it kinda just feels right that maybe the Wardens were selected at least in part because they played a role in their wards evolving and fully taking on their roles as Noble/Ride Pokemon. It would certainly help to explain the more odd choices the clans have made in deciding who becomes a Warden. Sabi being the one to level Braviary up until it evolved would certainly explain her weirdly OP team! And Gaeric is obviously the kind of person who would have leveled up Lord Avalugg. Perhaps Wyrdeer and Basculegion were trying to protect Mai and Iscan respectively when they evolved. And maybe Calaba had been collecting peat for medicinal/ceremonial purposes under the light of a full moon. I don't know what Melli and Arezu would have done to get their wards to evolve... Lian clearly has an interest in rocks, so it only make sense for him to have dug up some Black Augurite, but that doesn't really feel like that would have been the case for Arezu finding a Sun Stone and Melli finding a Leaf Stone. There might be a story there, but I don't know what it would be. The best that I've got is that in Platinum, both can be found in the areas that were once the Crimson Mirelands, so maybe those are just areas where those stones exist in relative abundance and can be found? Who knows? Fun to think about though!
