It was a character moment where Tobin starts to shut down and then pulls herself together. I did sort of go back and forth on this one. But I kept it because it's meant to feed into the magical realism atmosphere, as opposed to being purely figurative. This is kind of tricky to answer...

author’s note: remember how I said I had a weakness for writing surreal scenes? yeah… you’ve been warned, lol. this chapter was really really really hard to write and underwent copious revisions. in the end, I decided to just post if I ever wanted to finish lmao. I Walk Through Your Dreams and...

Hullo, Luke! I’m here for Catnip. I checked out the first chapter. Here are my thoughts: The narration is often quite playful. It almost feels like the omniscient narrator from the anime is commenting on June’s start. I’m not usually that into exclamation marks in prose, but surprisingly it...

Oh, I just saw this! Thanks, appreciate it. Glad both the noir elements and the magical realism elements shone through, that was definitely the goal. I wouldn't worry too much about understanding right away. A lot of the meaning will make sense once the story is concluded. That said, much of...

Both stories I’ve read from you seem to deal with grief and loss in some form or another. Not that I’m complaining, I tend to gravitate toward these themes regardless. And elements of surrealism! Nice. Anything involving dreams causes me to automatically default to David Lynch. What’s most...

Beta read by MadderJacker and DemiurgicPen. Also got some advice from Shadow of Antioch. Pizza with a Slice of Pain Long ago, Mt. Travail was a terrible place indeed. The mystery dungeon's peaks and ridges loomed over their surroundings with a brooding ferocity. But then one day a drowzee...

Nice, TR is so much more convenient for formatting reviews than ffnet. Appreciate the crosspost. I probably won’t focus too much on old prose since it’s, y’know, old. If you want me to talk about this aspect at all just shoot me a DM. Right off the bat, the dialogue and Riley’s internal...

Hullo, hullo again! I enjoyed this chapter despite the flaws other people have already mentioned. Tricky's character in particular does a lot to carry it, as she seems to have the most agency out of the children (partially because the focus is on her, of course, but the point stands). I...

author's note: this is the first part of a threeshot I've been working on for a while now. lately, I've been wanting to mess around with different genres in the pokemon world. it works really well given how open-ended pokemon is. also, for once, it isn't pmd. been wanting to dabble with ranger...

I jumped into this lowkey under the impression it was a heist fic. Instead, I got a myth fic, which... I'm definitely not complaining, haha. Both are a-okay by me. My mind immediately defaulted to the Orpheus myth when I heard the premise. Although he's a musician, not a trickster. But there is...

Hey, Bench! Glad I got the chance to check out the first chapter (need to catch up anyway for book club, haha, so might as well get a review done while I'm at it). It's hard to pin down the characters in the opening chapter. They're mostly disoriented so they don't really have much to do other...

Thank you for sharing your thoughts! I appreciate it. It's always cool to get perspective from fandom blind people. They point out stuff I'd never have even thought about necessarily. That would probably make more sense if you'd played the game, yeah. The MC duo (Meowth and Pikachu here) get...

And, I’m back! I’ll give overall thoughts and then segue into some thoughts on prose, since you did ask me to share. I like how the opening is just Chris surviving out in the wild. Gave me minor Hatchet vibes, haha. There’s a comfortable sort of loneliness to it. The way Chris uses his pokemon...

I’ve been wanting to review your stuff again for a while now. I definitely have plans for Places We Call Home, but I’ll hold off and chew on something a bit shorter in the meantime. I wonder if Kyros was a police officer as a human. Or maybe a criminal of some sort? It’s hard to tell for sure...

Hullo! Excited to check this out, it seems super interesting. I really like the angle this takes when it comes to gang warfare and police brutality. The relationship between poverty and violence isn’t something I often see explored in pokemon fanfiction, so this made for a nice change of pace...

I was hoping to post this on your b-day, but sadly got caught up in holiday shenanigans of my own. Still, happy belated birthday and here’s a toast to the new year. Noctum and Baraz continue to be best boys. They’re just so sweet and supportive. Noctum being all excited to show Yuna the...
