Spectacles

Every time I lose a game of Voltorb Flip, I have to read a section for my schoolwork.

I'm never getting Ice Beam, but this is the most productive I've been all quarantine.

Reached an important developmental milestone today: got disowned on Facebook by a racist family member

These are the nights I love. Cuddled up with a blanket and my bathrobe, drinking a glass of warm honeylemon tea, listening to piano covers of Studio Ghibli music. Catching up on all your lovely runs and getting lost in the tales of these wonderful creatures we call Pokemon. May your teams grow strong, your friendships bloom bright, and your losses never be forgotten.

Happy Birthday!!

Happy birthday!

Happy birthday, Specs! Have a good 'un!

*Breaks free from the surface of the Sea of Adult Responsibilities, gasping for air and struggling to stay afloat*
*Flings a handful of comments out to shore frantically*
*screams, "THANK YOU ALL FOR THE SUPPORT IN THE EXTRAVAGANZA AND IN GENERAL!!! I love you all and the next update of GoT-ta is almost finished, I swear!"*
*another wave hits, in the shape of an alarm set for 5:00 am*
*unintelligible gurgling*

I was assigned my first patient as an occupational therapy student today! It's so humbling to finally be so near the end of my academic career and to be helping people get out of the hospital and into the safest possible environment. I guess I'm just really excited and wanted to share :)

Anyone else ever get the urge at 2 am on a Sunday night to make name tags for your Pokemon cards with randomly generated genders, natures, and characteristics?

Me: Game Freak needs to switch up the Pokemon formula and add some new mechanics to keep things fresh.
GF: *switches up the Pokemon formula and adds new mechanics to keep things fresh*
Me: *grumbles incoherently to self, visibly upset, because now all my rulesets need to be altered for said gameplay changes*

Hello, I am Spectacles, and I am in a love/hate relationship with my RNG.

I may or may not have just used the last 4 days to bang out a 21 page paper that's not due for another month so that I don't have to be bothered with it when Luigi's Mansion 3 and Sword and Shield come out~~~

So! Today was my last day of my last Level 1 fieldwork for occupational therapy. And to ensure I made a good last impression and get a passing grade on my final eval, I decided it was in my best interest to REAR END MY FIELDWORK SUPERVISOR AT A STOP SIGN ON OUR WAY TO A CLIENT'S HOUSE.

Literally can't make this stuff up.

Me: I should just label my GoT run as a storyshot run, because that's essentially what it is.
Also me: ...But then you can't hide behind the 'it was just supposed to be about gameplay' excuse if things go bad.

And that's the tea.

Just got finished writing a 22 page paper. I'm relieved that it ended up at that length because it means I still put more effort into my nuzlocke rulesets than I do for my masters-level schoolwork.

My boyfriend is currently using an extremely effective method of positive reinforcement where every time I write one page of my paper, he makes me a mixed drink and I get to take a 15 minute Smash Bros break unleash my anger on these time-wasting assignments.

The quality of my paper is rapidly deteriorating with each page, but hey at least I'm getting it done!

I am Omastar. Y'all can call me Squiggle-Limbs Specs.

I almost posted this question in the public Discord, so this is the...sixth? time that I've almost outed this early.

To those of you reposting runs: are you keeping old reply responses? And are you posting all the updates in their own separate comments?
