    Canis's Thoughts On Pokémon Design

    Alright! Welcome to the last planned part of this ramble. I may add something else in supplementary parts later if it comes to me and feels worthwhile to say, but I won't promise anything. This is the part where we start using what we've learned before to make our own Pokémon-like monsters. I...

    Sixth Anniversary Speed Catnip

    I would like to join with this drabble! It's only 600-700 words, but I think there's enough there for 1-3 sentences of feedback.

    Threadmarks: Introduction & Part One

    Hey all! I'm here today to ramble about the monster design in Pokémon - more specifically, the patterns I have noticed in Pokémon monster designs, general character design principles and what I myself have put into use in the design of characters for my own Pokémon-like game, Beasts of Auralia...

    Sixth Anniversary Fic Readings

    Cannot read this excerpt or any other myself due to my due to my living situation and general difficulty pronouncing English, so I know it won't necessarily be read, but here it is anyway. It's from Kills-Other-Humans, and it's 691 words. Looking forward to listening to the other stories, though!

    Threadmarks: Free

    hey hey hey! it seems that i did not end up writing more than one bingo drabble in 2024 despite having ideas for multiple, but that's okay. i have a much better feeling about the 2025 ones since i've been practicing writing with standards lower than the sky-high ones i usually have. this one's...
