Big thanks to xangel.design for sharing the PokeTober prompt! For the 15th of October, I drew a design based off of a Steel type Pokemon 🩶 I always liked the look of Aegislash and wanted to make a magical gown that suited a ghostly sword and shield ⚔️

I do think that the Daisy Duck look is cute with the hat! 👒 And I love the quilted fabric for the Polly Pocket design and I actually did submit it this year! 💖 Ultimately I don’t think that either look was as grand as the one I will be showing this week! ✨

I upcycled this Neopets top I got years ago. It’s stained so I gave it a new look vs discard it! 💖

Hiding the stains, I painted white hearts all over & lace trim was added to the hem/sleeves. Made by hand are the cloud beret, Baby PB necklace & the friendship bracelets of each pet species I have!

Anyone else feel like there’s an ethical obligation to include your starter pokemon in the team when facing the elite four for the first time?

I hate asking for help, but I'm desperate.

If you are in California, specifically the Central Valley, please share. I just need to ID one of the people who signed this paper and I can be free of my abuser.

I am exhausted and tired of being scared.

The Year Zero universe expanded with the release of NIN’s ‘Add Violence’ in 2017.

It is now 2025, and a dedicated team of fans have created a sort of companion ARG to Year Zero, and the first few breadcrumbs have been scattered for people to find.

In 2007, Nine Inch Nails released the album ‘Year Zero’: a concept album accompanied with an Alternative Reality Game (ARG). The ARG led fans on a part virtual, part real world scavenger hunt and as each player got further into the game, they revealed more of the world and story of Year Zero.
