Made Some More Of These Trainer Encounters For My Commission Sheet Im Working On! I Had The Fun Idea

Made some more of these trainer encounters for my commission sheet I’m working on! I had the fun idea to offer “Single Battle” & “Double Battle” drawings either line-art or full-color, with 1-6 Pokémon per drawing (1-3 each for Doubles, just like in the game!)

For the “Single Battle” example, I drew more “me-Ansy” than “comic-Ansy” (lol) with the plush team you’ve been seeing in those slice of life posts I’d do (still waiting on the last 2 members, hopefully for Christmas!). Really looking forward to it getting cool enough for me to wear my cozy cloudy sweater more~ ☁️

For the “Double Battle” I drew Ansy & Ikrit as a “Kimono Couple”! Kimono / Furisode Girl is a trainer class who wear traditional Japanese clothes & use Eeveelutions, perfect for our Eevee family lol. Reminds me of the Sakura Matsuri (Cherry Blossom Festival)! 🌸 I need that kimono

I’m hoping to have the completed sheet done soon. Again, I won’t be able to do too many at a time (the Double Battle definitely ate up a lot of my time / energy lollllll), but yeah! Should be fun!

I’d also like to add with my “casual hobbyist” understanding of meteorology on why violent storms like hurricanes are notoriously difficult to forecast, because YES, conditions are in constant flux.

If there’s a vast nimbostratus promising to pour down rain all day, that’s pretty easy to forecast. You can even observe it from the ground - if the skies go gray with the sun half visible through the clouds (altocumulus), it’s likely going to rain soon.

Meanwhile, if it’s a more vertical cumulonimbus brought on by surface heat that rages for a few hours before being spent, that’s harder to track. Hurricanes may be big, but they’re constantly rotating with the heat, then slows / weakens when it makes landfall.

Here’s a video from MinuteEarth that goes into it a bit more:

The more you know, guys & yes, certain folks would like to privatize/dismantle NOAA, meaning natural disasters like hurricanes will be a lot harder for regular folk to prepare for, let alone follow. 🌧️

(PS: if you watch the video to the end & hear “AI” from their sponsor, this is the good kind that help us calculate things like weather forecasts more accurately, & not the bad kind that steals your data or your creative content 😅)

This is especially frustrating because the only reason we know the wind speed is because NOAA's Hurricane Hunters literally fly into the hurricane and collect vital data. They fly in and out of the storm over and over in 8 hour shifts.

This brave team flies two identical Lockheed P3s called Kermit and Miss Piggy.

You can see the dangling ornaments in the videos to determine which plane they are in.

And when I say they fly into the hurricane, I mean they fly *into* the hurricane.

Here they are in the eye of Milton.

And here they are in the eye of Irma.

As you may notice, this flight was in Kermit.

So the next time you see live data about a hurricane's wind speed and pressure, just remember how that was collected and don't be a giant turd about it.

And please vote because conservatives want to kill NOAA.

Hurricane Helpers (day 3)

Got quite a few done today! It helped that there were a few here that were either simpler, or I’ve had some practice drawing 8u8;

I’ve also been seeing more donors from here on Tumblr! Thanks to all who came over to support the hurricane relief effort! ^7^

Today we have some more search / rescue, some medical, supplies, our first electrical repair (gotta get power back!), a light in the storm, & someone to scrape out all the ice the Ice types have been making to stop the flooding lol:

—

If you’d like to participate, just visit either my Kofi or Professor Case’s Kofi, & comment the Pokemon you’d like as a thank you with your donation (or if you’d rather donate directly to our chosen charity, Greater Good Charities, just screenshot your donation & message us with your requested Pokemon!).

On behalf of both of us, we’re so grateful for the donations so far to help those affected by the hurricanes. No donation is too small - every penny is greatly appreciated (& you get a rainy doodle as a bonus!) 🩵

Thank you so, so much! 🌧️

PS: if you’re really hurting for cash & can’t donate (been there 🥲), one very easy, free way to support us is just reblogging this post or the last ones I made! That way, the word spreads out to anyone who can afford it. Thank you! 🩵🩵🩵

Hi! Why wasn't the pokemon Ansy used in battle against the plasma grunt out helping her? Was it returned to the ball and then that was when the scene happened?

Returned to their ball - Ansy won the battle, but that grunt was a sore loser so he decided to go for Rain (who doesn’t hang out in a Poké Ball, usually sitting on Ansy’s head like in “Let’s Go! Eevee”). Took her by surprise.

Based on many real conversations 🩵 Also Gen 8 tent because that was the BEST, dammit. Makes me wanna sign in to Sword again just to camp out, play with my Pokémon & make curry. 🍛

Sasha (Glaceon) isn’t trained like Rain is to notice / respond to Ansy’s moments where she disassociates or gets lost in a memory or feeling, but he’s picked up on it over the few years Ansy & Ikrit’s been together. I’d imagine he can be sensitive to her feelings like his trainer, too. ❄️

Huehuehue, been a while since Ansy made her “kill ‘em with kindness” face 😇⛈️ Also, meet Cumulus ⚡️

DxP REWRITE - Dishonor Among Thieves

Back when I was figuring out the brothers’ early friendship with Ansy during her PKMN Black run, I had the thought that Rain (Eevee), a very rare, foreign Pokémon, would be a target for Team Plasma (until N tells them not to touch her again). From there, I figured a good first meeting was them teaching Team Plasma exactly what happens if they try to cause trouble in their subway.

There are a lot of people in our world who don’t see mental illness - or “mental injury” as I like to call (C-)PTSD - as a real health condition, let alone a disability. Some say ugly things to shame others they label as “entitled” or “weak”. Sometimes they’re raised that way, sometimes they’re confused or have some sort of inner resentment, or sometimes they’re just plain awful.

If you struggle with mental illness / injury, you’re not entitled or weak for needing extra help navigating life, whether it be a service animal, therapy, a trip to the hospital, or just a friend. It’s real, even if people around you can’t / won’t see it. 🩵

PS: my headcanon is that evil team Grunts have little themed codenames, too (knights for classic Team Plasma, maybe meteoroids / asteroids for Team Galactic, etc).
