peasina: (❝ pokemon - magnemite - smoking ❞)
Today, while scrolling my Reading Page, I was greeted by purple boxes containing a message from imgur: "This content not viewable in your region." It's because of stupid new laws in the UK that have also stopped me from looking at fanart on AO3 and many other websites (🙄), and yeah I'm annoyed, but I thought I'd try to channel my annoyance into something helpful!

If you include images in your DW posts, such as icon batches or community banners, are you aware of DW's inbuilt image hosting? I feel like a lot of people are, so ignore this post if that's you, but if you're not... I'd already written the below guide for someone who reached out to me a few years ago asking for help, so I've tweaked it a little and hope it's helpful to anyone who might stumble across it.

Please note: DW-hosted images only display on DW.

peasina: (❝ pokemon - magnemite - nervous ❞)
I just realised I can make polls on here! :O

As my Magnemite master set (a collection of all the Magnemite Pokemon TCG cards) nears completion, I've been thinking about how to share it. I have a lot to say—such as talking about my favourite illustrations, where I found particular cards, facts about them, etc.—and I'm unsure how best to compile all those thoughts. I'm considering either a long post with lots of pics/scans or a video where I flip through my binder and talk about the cards out loud. Which of these sounds more interesting to you?

A simple post today! Pics (and gifs) of five things from my Magnemite collection that I love ^^

1. Re-Ment Pokemon Terrarium Collection



I still can't believe I own this! I got extremely lucky with my eBay alerts and bought this thirty seconds after the listing went live, hah. I don't think the seller knew (or maybe they didn't care?) how rare this one is because it was a steal. I love my happy little babies playing with electricity ^^

The rest are under here... )

1. PokeClicker
I've been playing PokeClicker for over a month now. Does anyone else play? It's so fun and I love the almost never ending supply of achievements. Although, making this post made me realise that I accidentally lost my entire save last night thanks to me clearing my browser cache, whoops, so I suppose this post serves as an RIP to my progress! Here's my trainer card for my now lost playthrough. *salutes*



2. Pokemon Go Postcard Collection
Under the cut is my current collection of Pokemon Go postcards that I feel have a particularly good combo of Pokestop and sticker.

Reveal the Postcards! )

3. Cute Pokemon Drabble
My prompt on [community profile] drabbleonficathon ("Pokemon (all media types), Any Pokemon, collecting") got an absolutely wonderful fill by [personal profile] scytale! You can find it here. It's so inventive and cute. The event is ongoing until October 1st, so do go make prompts or enjoy the fills ^^

Bonus: PokePod Podficcer Signups
I lied, here's Pokemon thing number four 😲 There are about twelve hours left to sign up to [community profile] pokepodproject as a podficcer. I'm so excited by the turnout already (32 podficcers so far!) and how many written works have already gone into the collection before that final deadline rush. I've loved seeing people get excited in their author's notes about the Pokemon they were assigned. This is such a fun event to run and even though there's a lot of work ahead with pinch hits and anthology organisation, I'm looking forward to it.

Dear [community profile] ficinabox creator,

Thank you for visiting my letter. I can’t wait to open my box and see what’s inside! :-D

You can find me on AO3 as [archiveofourown.org profile] peasina. I welcome canon-blind art and podfic!

DNWs: chibi art (of the huge eyes/heads tiny bodies variety), trans headcanons, poetry, first or second person POV, focus on amputation, Pokémon coming to serious harm or dying, crossovers, genderswaps, mundane AUs (e.g., coffee shop), setting change AUs, soulmate AUs, fic over 15k in length (not applicable to podfic), more than two fingers in fingering

Catching up with [community profile] sunshine_revival as I love the prompts!

Challenge #2: Tunnel of Love
Journaling: The romance of summer! What do you love?

I thought I'd take this one literally by making a tier list of my endings with all 100 dateable characters from Date Everything!

peasina: (❝ pokemon - ditto - waves ❞)
Last year, I offered Pokemon-inspired wax melts as part of the [community profile] fandomtrumpshate Craft Bizarre. Here's my post about it. Fashionably late as usual! Under the cut are some pics of the melts I made for my three winners plus some other fannish wax melts I've made recently inspired by What We Do in the Shadows and the Date Everything! video game.

🐕 Canine Crunch - Rockruff - Citrus 🐕



If the scents don't seem to match, that's because that's what my winner was into (and also... what would Rockruff smell like? Probably not that great, haha.) I was really proud of how the marbling came out on this one! The glitter mix I used was called Sandstorm, which I thought was cool (as it's a Pokemon move).

The rest are under here... )

Some bitesize thoughts, pics, life updates, and general bits and bobs I wanted to share that probably wouldn't have made for an interesting blog post on their own. Feel free, of course, to only read the bits you care about :P

Collages I made recently )

Beaded phone strap progress )

New beloved Pokemon + icons! )

Jigsaw puzzles I've done recently )

I started watching What We Do in the Shadows )

Mine and [personal profile] javert's beloved little Poké Fest is back for another round! The DW is [community profile] pokepodproject and signups are open for another eight days (though they'll close early if 100 writers sign up, and we're about halfway there right now so run lol!) PokéPod Project aims to create a fic and podfic about every Pokémon. This is our second round and will focus on the Johto region (Generation Two.) 

I had so much fun modding this last year, and I'm so excited to fall in love with new mons thanks to there being stories out there for me to sink my teeth (and ears!) into. I hope my Pokemon-inclined friends here on DW will give it a go if it sounds like something you'd enjoy (or return and have fun with us again 😊) 

💙💙💙

peasina: (❝ fruit - strawberries ❞)
Battleship is over (well, it's technically still in the anon period, but the game part is over) and I've been meaning to post this wrap-up to my journal for a while but I guess I was a little burned out from it all. Which is nice in a way, because I'm burnt out following a flurry of productivity. I hadn't written, podded, or made art in ages, so it was a happy burn out, and I've ignited again since ^^

I was on Team Strawberry - we came second! I had a really fun time this year. The first half of the event was where I went the most ham, hitting work cap for board one, then boss wordcount cap for boss one. Then I unfortunately got hit with a bunch of withdrawal symptoms after tapering off some medication, where I could only function for a few hours a day. It suuuuuucked. I had to take a week off work, and I might have overdone it by using the small amount of energy I had in the mornings to make things rather than do the adult thing and rest.

I'm almost completely recovered now, and have caught up with commenting on my awesome gifts. If you'd like to come and look around the event's shiny collection (of 3,500 works!!) you can find it here.

What I Made )
2025 Goals Update )
My Gifts! )
Now I've gotten over my burnout, I'll hopefully be posting on here more again (I have so many drafts started!) If you took part in Battleship this year I'd love to hear about your experience too.
