I think I have a resting [sonic slicer] face, not that I'm surprised.

I know I'm way late in responding to this, but if it makes you feel any better I frequently get told that my default expression is somewhere between "boredom" and "murderous rage". So that's a thing.

In other news, the revamp of my personal character canon is going well.....if not particularly smoothly. I've had an idea I can use to explain why such a weird and wacky combination of characters exists as a group, but putting the backstory together is proving a little tricky. In the sense that, I have it all outlined in my head and it works perfectly, but then I have trouble translating those thoughts into a written form that makes sense without leaving too many unanswered questions (how much detail is too much detail?).

Some characters have undergone minor changes (Leo and Saden, mostly), some have undergone major changes (Xhai) and some are pretty much unchanged save for a difference in backstory (Bell and Mika). Not all of them figure in to the new canon I'm putting together (at least as "main characters"), but if everything comes together like I'm hoping then I'll at least have a good reason as to why I can introduce them as side-characters/NPCs further down the line.

It's difficult finding the motivation to write the universe's backstory down sometimes, but I'm in no rush. It'll be done when it's done, and hopefully.....hopefully it goes over well.

The translating part sounds just like me when it comes to doing up my sprites.

Okay, so I'm taking a brief hiatus from writing the backstory for my stuff in favour of looking at the characters that'll be involved. I have a tentative list drawn up (tentative in that nothing is set in stone yet), and I'm fairly happy with what I've got. For now.

Anyone who's interested/curious, and wouldn't mind being used as a sounding board for my randomness, shoot me a PM if you like, and I'll send you the cliff-notes version of my project's current status.

Related: I am teaching myself to draw. Progress is slooowww.

I will. My sister lent me one of her "how to draw Manga" books, but I'm starting from the most basic of basics, so it'll take me a while to get anything good going, I think.

Hmmm I just thought of something, is there anything preventing you from putting off stopping Team Rocket at Silph Co. until you need to  get your 8th Gym Badge with how open ended Kanto is in both Generations.  I mean you do need to do the Rocket Corner and Pokemon Tower if you want to go to Fuschia, but is there a plot blocking reason besides Viridian Gym that forces you to do Silph Co?

EDIT: So I've been watching a Pokemon Platinum LP, and it's at a certain part which I posted in the LP thread.  To make a long story short even though I knew this part was coming.....I NEED INTERNET HUGS ASAP BECAUSE I WAS TERRIFIED!

If you don't clear Silph Co., you can't challenge Sabrina, or get a free Hitmonlee/Hitmonchan.

*HUGS SAKURA* O3O

I took my pocket sketchbook out into the woods and sketched up head and mask variations of my stick plague doctor nature sprite.

Actually I was pretty sure you could get the Hitmons before going to Silph, but I guess not fighting Sabrina makes sense.

Jump Scare Giratina is worst Jump Scare, I also ask my brother for a hug when he got his clothes from the washing machine today. :'(

I recall the TR members just standing around blocking the entrances. Mimic Girl's house was another blocked area before clearing Silph.

and ah yes giratina... I recall jumping at that cutscene too. With his shriek... *hugs*

What's worse is right before that Cyrus says something along the lines that he won't let Girtatina interfere.  But the interfere at the end is like interferererererererere and then Girtina Jump Scare.

So I went and saw Hardcore Henry today.

That was a good movie. A bit crazy but all in all turbo-violent video-game like action is a thing I tend to enjoy so yay.

Just finished Kingsman, and it has some batshit fight scenes. Like, a slightly tamer version of a Tarantino scene.
