Fear the Obsessed Person

Finally back to draaawing.

Since pokemon go's friend list is aaaalso broken, there really isn't much keeping me playing just now, aside from making sure people get their coins. And I'm just side eyeing them even more with there now being an extra comm day quest that you have to pay for. Just. No. :/

e^e Pokemon go bringing back raid hour and full on stating to just use coins (*ahem* buy them) to get the remote passes feels SO hecking icky and gross.

Was already side eyeing them for the kanto research and how you had to walk an egg or get candy from a buddy.

I got a shiny 96% mewtwo from the research though.

Still feels super gross.

I got 2/6 shiny lickitung, so that was nice odds. Some people in my group got three, while others got none. 8')


So thanks to the fitbit I'm like >8(;; every time it tells me I've been sitting for an hour straight. I used to grab something to eat at that point, but Azure suggested to try exercises instead.

I am bad at the proper forms. 8') So extra soreness from working the wrong muscle groups.

Which then brought up that I have bad posture and pre-pain tech neck.

So started doing some exercises to try and straighten my back.

Turns out my achilles tendons are tight and need to be looser for me to be able to do the other exercises. Or at least be comfortable doing some of them.

So lots of things to work on. 8')

I've ordered a bed table since I spend a lot of time hunched over my laptop. Hopefully this'll stick better than the last time I tried to correct my posture. I knew of some exercises, but then I'd forget to do them.

Having dreams sucks. =-=

Also, I'm super impatient for my fitbit to arrive, ahaha.


Minccino task day went fine. :D A nice range of tasks to do, and a decent shiny rate.


Reading writing books does help motivate me to write more, but now I'm like 'oh, I could tweak that scene better - OH, I HAVE LESS TIME TO EDIT NOW, AND IF I CHANGE THAT SCENE, WILL IT HAVE A KNOCK ON EFFECT ON LATER SCENES AND-'

Good times. XDD

So my pokemon go discord server has a leaderboard for different things. Most xp, most gold gyms, things like that. Something to give players something else to focus on. I went NUTS when quests came out. XDD 80+ quests a day kind of numbers, so I was kinda double the numbers of the next person closest to me in the rankings. XDD;; I had the highest unoffical recorded number of quests in the UK for a while too, before I drove someone else to be super competitive and overtake me. XD;;

I baaasically stopped playing in ...I guess November 2018, only doing dailies instead of going full out. Because I went on holiday to the US so wasn't able to do my daily route, and that kinda killed my motivation. I wouldn't be able to catch up from that so just went, 'eh, fuck it' and stopped playing as much.

Which is good, because I could start focusing on writing again, because I magically have more time when I'm not walking 20+km a day to do quests, pfft.

It's taken a year but someone's finally catching up on my home server, which... I guess putting it plainly like that, kinda says how ridiculously hard I went with quests. It's taken someone over a YEAR of constant playing while I've basically gone down to one a day to catch up with me. That's a really good achievement.

I guess it's kinda... I'll be losing my ranger crown, because I COULD go out and start playing more again, but also, do I really want to? The game frustrates me because there's so many glitches and Niantic keep screwing things up and are angling towards money. And the reason why I want to go out is...for an imaginary number that only really has value because we decided it would make a good leaderboard.

So it'd be nice to be competitive again, but I'd rather do something else that I enjoy doing, rather than forcing myself to play a game.

Sooo yeah.

New buddy system in pokemon go is live and I'm SO HAPPY. QAQ Yey, my zangoose just running around me on the map. QAQ

Shame it's not a shiny, BUT OH WELL, my strongest and oldest zangoose will be fine to walk along side me. 8'3

Found out my GPS has changed slightly so I can reach my home gym from home with no drift now and it's great. :D

And it's pretty obvious I haven't played much because it's just blue everywhere. And have been for over a day.

I took the home gym aaaand was kicked out after 20 minutes. >-> Yeeep, part of the annoyance of gym control straight away. But can't really blame them, since it's all blue, there's nowhere for them to get daily coins.


Talked with the post office. They said the tracking system is down so it's kinda like, '...Well, then there was no point paying for tracking, huh.'

Been staring at the tracked package I sent a week ago and it's still saying 'Sender preparing item'.

Uhm. Okay. 8llll


I had eight straight hours of sleep last night and my sleeping app freaked out, because it's not used to that. XD;;; So yeah, it's not really built in mind for people who wake up in the middle of the night, do something, and then fall back to sleep, haha.


Comm day was quiet. I couldn't play much on Saturday and had to go back home after the start.

I saw three people this morning, and I caught a shiny chimchar from a leaf lure. eAe


Aaaalmost finished with my relisten of s3 Magnus Archives. Just been forgetting to put up my thoughts, haha.

Found writing streak and I love it. :D It's a site where you have a timer if that helps you write. Which it totally does for me haha. 10 hours to write 1.6k on the first day. With this, I think I basically hit it in two hours. XDD I did 600 words in 20 minutes.

Also a graph and you can set your writing goal, and I'm really liking it so far. :D :D Also a bunch of different options to try and make sure you write and don't edit, like blurring out the words, and not allowing you to edit aaaanything. I tried that mode, and just couldn't do it. So many typos. SO MANY.

Yeah, ended up doing almost 4k with it today. 8D

Mainly because I rewrote the fic again, pffft. But I think I like how this is going now. But we'll see if I rewrite everything again in a couple of days, haha.

AND the site saves all your writing from previous days. :D But probably a good idea to save in other usual places as well, haha.

I think the only problem I have with it is it's a website, and I have a bajilion tabs that I keep adding to so it'll get lost along the sidescrolling. :v But that's mostly my problem, hahah.


I'm not liking how there's a growing divide of people in my pokemon go community being uneasy of niantic's current decisions versus people who want to take things in isolation and not see the larger picture. This is about how after you finish the new team rocket radar, you can just buy it in the shop rather than collecting by playing. Some passive aggressive 'slippery slope' comments and it's just like.

It's already happened. They've already implemented it. We're ON the slope right now. Urgh.

Hoooly crap, I'm dying. Ten hours, and I finally get the 1,667 done. x-x How did I manage doing this in under two hours before?

...

Okay, fine, I had a lot of preparation and planning for those ones. I am absolutely a planner. At least once I'm finished with this fic, I'll hopefully be blasting through word counts thanks to trying to brainstorm rather than properly write.

...DAMN did it take me a lot of clicking around to finally find where the heck I update my word count on the nano site. D: That is NOT intuitive! It's tiny!


Colossal event is on/on the horizon and I am so meh about it. I can't blame my friends for being excited about it and planning what to do, but the whole thing's gotten my back up, because of the inadvertent peer pressure of friends wanting to stay local and needing enough people to make sure they can take down the regis (which is now debunked, but we didn't have that certainty).

I didn't realise just how much I hate peer pressure until this point. I guess I was okay with it when pokemon go was free, but since this is a paid event it sucks because getting friend groups to pay for tickets to make sure everyone can actually do the task, while basically staying on the '0' count for 'last time niantic fucked up' daily. It really doesn't seem right to be rewarding the crappy maintenance.

I just don't like the direction the game is going that I just want to quit. I'm not really having fun with it, and more things frustrate me than I enjoy.

Test results have came back and been asked to go for another doctor's appointment. At least this time they said it was non-urgent, haha.

Tried some sleep tracking apps. The first night, I hit deep sleep once for like, a couple minutes before zooming off again. 8') So that might be the cause for my tiredness. The following nights have been similar, though I seem to get better rest with daytime naps, which is hilarious.


Heeeeey, Blanche confirmed to be non-binary with the recent news!

But I'm stuck on the design of the new grunt having POKEBALL BEARD.
