Hello! I thought I’d pop by and give the first chapter a read, since we’ve had some pretty fun conversations on discord. And wow, what an enjoyable first chapter! Very brisk pacing, does well with setting up characters and establishing their dynamic. The dialogue and Solder’s internal...

Apologies for how long it took to update, I have no excuses. Speak Not of the Children Chapter One Before I ran away from home—two years after moving to Virbank City—I woke up in the middle of the night. I had a dream; I had remembered something. The dreadful sensation clawed down my back...

Author's Note: Oh my god, I finally posted this story LMAOOOOO. To say it's had a turbulent development time would be an understatement. I think I started working on it all the way back in... 2019? Originally it was supposed to be a response to one of Windskull's one shot prompts, and somehow it...

Hello, Amby. I admit it’s been a while so my memory is somewhat hazy, but always fun to jump back into this world and these characters. Some general thoughts: Reshiram has a strong ‘fish out of water’ vibe going on. I admit a lot of the humor of his comments don’t quite land for me. That’s just...

Hello hello @Arukona ! I decided to check out the first chapter of Dual Wills, since you were kind enough to review Edgeworth. Some overarching thoughts: you did a great job establishing motivation and interpersonal relationships between Elvira and her family, even those that were missing. I had...

Huh. If I'd realized sooner you were rebooting Hey, Space Cadet! I would've held off on reccing it earlier in the year. Whoops. Anyway. This was certainly quite different! We get a lot more backstory and exposition, and are introduced to Connor's travelling companion and pokémon right off the...

The first few paragraphs had me briefly thinking we were headed toward Watership Down territory, heh. This was really interesting! I recall hearing the name Berecien before, which suggests this takes place in the Fledgings universe? Although humans are mentioned, so maybe it's just a reference...

Thanks for the review! Appreciated as always. I was under the impression it was based on Arizona, although I could be wrong about that. They just didn't make any new mons for the region, sadly. Even if not, gonna roll with that assumption now that I'm locked in, heh. There'll probably always...

@Namohysip If you did read some Pratchett, I would suggest Mort first. Death seems like a character you'd absolutely love. Gilligan's book has some questionable methodology, but the main concepts discussed within are definitely interesting.

Honestly if anyone should be giving reciprocal reviews, it should be me to you @Spiteful Murkrow LMAO. But thank you, this was very kind. And helpful! I haven't looked dream eater over in ages. Heh, good point. Did some reordering of paragraphs so it'd be clearer. If I'm remembering correctly...

Here for catnip. Since the oneshot is old so I'm not going to bother with prose. Dunsparce country, let's ride. This was fun! It utilizes absurdity to great effect, highlighting how ludicrous the legendary Pokémon's machinations are and contrasting the goofy high stakes of the apocalypse with...

Here for Catnip! Let's have some fun. Oh hey, I love a good romance. With some near-death experiences sprinkled on top like a fine seasoning. There was daydreaming, there was yearning, there was flirting, there was banter, there was cuddling. Can anyone really ask for anything more? I think...

Aw. This was cute, and a great example of defamiliarization. By giving us a new perspective, the time spent not knowing what quite is happening is the time spent most fully perceiving whatever is written. The bit with the red light and the visit to Mewtwo were both great examples of this. (It...

I should be working on my Catnip assignments, probably, but once I started writing about The Tessellation Solution I found it hard to stop. Your stories always straddle that line between ambiguity and satisfying narrative that makes interpreting them so enjoyable. After reading this the first...

Quick impressions of German opening -- the disappearance of humans detailed there feels reminiscent of the Rapture. The Great Flash reminds me of the Big Bang, and of course the mention of multiple gods. It gives the legend an eclectic vibe, which I like. Also interesting that humans are...
