Someone said the magic word (HeroClix, of which I am an addict in recovery). Inventory site says there were two figures named “Arkon”—one back in 2018 (L) and one wayyyy back in 2006 (R).
Want me to keep an eye as I sift my collection? I went HAM on the 2018 set that he was in 🤷🏻♀️

Managed to park with my headlights on 🤦🏻♀️ was VERY consternated at the thought of calling for a jump… then remembered the car-jump-start-battery-thing that lives in the backseat for just such occasions! Worked flawlessly.
If you have a car that can be jumped, I so SO strongly recommend one of these!!

also, like, it was a little warm in the Ross Dress For Less relative to how cold it was outside; I was a bit dewy. 😅
As with “speaking of name changes!” line… it’s good, it’s perfectly serviceable, but I know in my heart I can do better 😉
(Ideally I would, like, blow her mind utterly. Y’know. 😎💅🏻)

I mean I definitely did go shopping today and the only thing I bought for myself was a gender-affirming Charizard case for my Switch, so 🤷🏻♀️ not beating the allegations here

[narrator voice] “she did *not,* in fact, get her ass kicked.”
[regular voice] I’m surprised too! But one good Surf from Alpha Mega Starmie ninja’d like three KO’s at once lol.

Ran into Lebanne again in the postgame. Apparently she’s been using Pokémon battles to distract her from a confusing crush that’s all knotted up with gender feelings? Girl, if I had a nickel…

Another mouse safely (and adorably) released into the woods this morning
There was something I wanted to add to this post but I can’t remember what it was now that I’m back inside. Oh well
Also Jen voice reveal I guess

That whole LiveJournal-entry-ass thread about my therapist was originally apropos of, talking with her today reminded me that this past Sunday I woke up, wrote this, and fell right back to sleep lol.
Who needs therapy when you’ve got prog dreams, amirite? 🙃 (I am not right. For the record. But 🤷🏻♀️)

![Notes app screenshot. Note is dated November 9, 2025 at 7:35 AM. Reads:
Today in “transparently obvious prog dreams,” i was being yelled at by a woman who (in the dream) was my boss at… a school i worked at? Or possibly a Home Depot? And i was lying to her to cheat on a test, but also she transparently hated me and was like terrorizing me about it.
Clearly processing my “getting fired by a boss who transparently hates me” trauma from the last year, there. Or maybe not even processing so much as just… reliving
Also it was a school? No i said that. Like but also it was a CW superhero show? That i worked on? Bc i was talking with someone… an older person from [redacted] who was also an older trans mutual from BlueSky. And they (she) was saying with a tone of “can’t believe i have to do this” about some job duty that maybe they were having trouble finding people to do, and I was like “wait are you telling me there’s a job that’s just saying ‘there should be more cartoons on TV and they should be more trans’?” And then I was excited and then heartbroken when i realized I was certainly unqualified for it
Again, job trauma](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:cvf4jqlu6xfzklzjxl2d33tl/bafkreif7mx256sirsgsu7fp7jeqmjmlmu4jb7nrkhsfar7vdic6hpirfzq@jpeg)

Asha, I was trying to come up with your metaphor-animal/cryptid-sona, and I stopped looking when I found this

ok so Chi is a social butterfly—but not a flighty, random one; a proactive, purposeful one. She is like unto the cryptid known as “mothman,” but pretty (and eschewing of subtlety 😉).
“mothman but butterfly” didn’t produce a lot of useful image search results for me, but it did bring me this:

Here is me releasing the mice, for those who also find such things adorable.
No comments about any potential bad fates for these mice, please; they are 100% living in warm little stump homes drinking tea out of acorns now and I don’t care to hear a word otherwise thank you 💖

Thank you to everyone who was so supportive & kind as I low-key crashed out on main last night 😅 time changes, amirite?
Just before I went to sleep I made a little list of “things that were good about today,” and that helped. As did the nice long sleep itself, lol

(I have a cheap 3rd party controller w/a “turbo” button so I bought 30 tyrunt fossils, got in front of the fossil guy, saved, and set the controller to spam “A.” Then every 7min 30sec I check the box, see none blue dinos, say “darn,” reset to last save, repeat lol)

ok so continuing with the tale of Marcy the Shiny Snorunt! She trained with me up to the level where a Snorunt of any gender will start trying to evolve into Glalie, unless it’s given other options. So we got her b̶l̶o̶c̶k̶e̶r̶s̶ a Dawn Stone and e̶s̶t̶r̶a̶d̶i̶o̶l̶ Froslassite, and… Marcy the Shiny (Mega) Froslass!

And then a bit more when you beat her (after talking about how she should have used Light Screen more—or something, I don’t remember).

oh, one little addendum to this—found a side quest where another Society of Rich Jerks member wants to battle you. She starts talking about how big bad Dragon-types are weak to cute dainty Fairy-types… then she says:

Legends ZA t’other day I met Mega Froslass—*excellent* new design—so I went looking for a good Snorunt to evolve. “Wait, is that one blue?”—a Shiny!—“please be a girl”—it was!
I named the Snorunt after @beneprism.rip, bc I promised I’d name a Pokémon after her & shiny Snorunt matches her hair 💙🩵😉💖
