Hey, canis! I had this on my list because of the whumpy themes you mentioned when you posted it, read it on the plane to Japan, started drafting up a review, then never finished it, but here I am finally. This is a good unsettling body horror scenario, and as I read it it's easy to picture it...

Getting right to the mutant zombie Pokémon! I enjoy opening with this normal Pokémon battle only for a random infected Pidove to fly in and straight-up explode, infecting the battlers who were just having a normal day - it gives them a little bit more context. Small prose tip that helped me in...

Awww, excellent! :veelove: I suspected Nate would be reluctant to draw his Pokémon team truly shittily, so I wondered if he'd put some type of effort in or perhaps try to get around it somehow (just draw four Pokéballs!). Love him just loudly giving up as he tends to, and the kid trying to...

I speak native Icelandic, fluent English as a second language, and studied Danish for five years, German for three, and Japanese for one (in the Icelandic school system, English and Danish are standard, and you can choose between French, German and Spanish as a third language; the Japanese was...

Well, I wrapped up my Curse responses! I'm late and it doesn't actually count, but I did it anyway! https://forums.thousandroads.net/threads/curse-one-shot.1272/post-79607

Weekly Fic Rec, week 4: Blood Is Thicker than Poison Are you a whump fan, like many others on Thousand Roads? Then you should check out Tetra's Blood Is Thicker than Poison, which is a delightfully indulgent whump-fest but has more to it, too. Drake is a troubled street rat, member of the...

Got another instance of the narration suddenly being in present tense here for a sentence ("A kid looks up into the sky") before returning to the past ("He saw a few planes in the sky"). When you've got quoted dialogue or thoughts with a dialogue tag (here "he thought to himself" is a dialogue...

Chapter 2 Interesting Pokéball worldbuilding :eyes: Ohoho, I smell angst :copyka: Enjoy the dramatic irony of the shifting POVs in this story - lots that we know but Marcel doesn't, by now. I just enjoy the portrayal of Porygon here as an actual virtual buddy living within the digital world...

Chapter 1 Wait, how can he see the guy who's perched on his back while he's pinned to the ground face-down? Unsure if I'm picturing this weirdly or what. Really enjoy Ira, this fucked-up torturer, obviously loving his Pokémon, leaping to make sure it's not hurt, determined to get even nastier...

Fire Safety Some lovely scene-setting here. Very interesting chapter (if these interludes count as chapters). I enjoyed the fun characterful interactions of Kurt and his son and the exploration of the tension around Pokémon training here - with people like Jen ultimately coming up with ways to...

Chapter 3 I have now figured out that Emily was just staying in a hotel in Celadon temporarily and does in fact live at the lab - apologies for getting that mixed up last time. I enjoy Cassandra having a book specifically on her partner Pokémon. Awww. It's sweet to think about that - a...
