@marriland.bsky.social I just saw that you are uploading on YouTube again. It's good to see you again. I am happy that therapy was helpful for you. Because of time zone differences, I won't watch the livestreams live, but I will watch whenever you upload them to YouTube. I took this photo for you:

I won’t be posting to Bluesky every time I go live, don’t worry, but since I’m getting back into the swing of things I wanted to let y’all know I’m jumping back into Pokopia Day 2 over on YouTube in just a few mins from this post! Hopefully I got the schedule stream working properly! 😅

This is also unrelated to my return or channel or anything, but I beat my second Gold Stake in #Balatro last night, using the Checkered Deck, and that felt good. I need to grind up some other decks sometime.

Thank you all for the kind words and messages! There have been so many and I’m so grateful for them. I will try to get through some of them, apologies if I don’t reply to yours, but know that I have read it and it means the world to hear your heartwarming messages and stories!

I apologize I’ve been absent and away from just about everything for the last year or two! I will try to be better about that, and have made a new YouTube video talking about what’s been going on and also my plans for 2026, as it marks 20 years on YouTube! #Marriland20 youtu.be/h0BrCQxmz7E

We created a Starter Pack for Bluesky so that Pokémon fans can connect with fansites and communities on this platform! Check it out and see if you're missing any accounts: go.bsky.app/ARs2VvC

I got a chuckle out of this yesterday in #PokemonScarlet. I was just cruising around and saw something that looked like a… uhh… Vulpix? Espeon? I couldn’t quite tell. Went closer. It was actually a Deerling right by a Trapinch. OH, but that Deerling had a PINK flower 🌸! Finally found one! 🎉✨

Serebii Update: Details have been released for the 5 Star Tera Raid Battle against Shiny Rayquaza. In addition to that, new details for Raid and Mass Outbreak events leading up to this event have been released including Shiny boosted Outbreaks Details @ www.serebii.net

It was 13 years ago today that I attempted my first ever #Nuzlocke challenge. It was on HeartGold, during a car ride to St. Louis for a Pokémon tournament in November 2011. I was playing it alongside another friend in the car. Ended up getting two badges! Didn’t ever continue that one, though.

Today is 25 years since I began the site that became Serebii. It's so surreal that this has gone on for a quarter of a century. The site has grown constantly. The last few years have been the busiest and most used it ever has been. It's wild. #Serebii25 Thread/

Welcome in, everyone! Might as well get the party started by asking an important question: 🔴 Which is YOUR FAVORITE POKÉMON? 🤔❣️ ⚪️ And also, for bonus points… WHY is it your favorite?? 🤩 Do you have a particular reason or story for liking it? 📖 #Pokemon

Not entirely sure where this recent influx of followers is coming from, but regardless, hello and thank you! I have been taking time to work on my mental health this year after a lot happened. Sorry I don’t have much else to update you on, but here’s a picture of me trying my best to look classy!

It was 18 years ago on this day, Sept. 12, 2006, that I first created the Marriland YouTube channel! It was originally just to share a video skit I recorded while a friend was staying over, “The Cup Game”. I posted a few other skits and eventually Pokémon videos later that year.

I just went back to YouTube to add Bluesky to my links there, yet I stayed for the comments. There have been so many kind, sweet, uplifting comments over the past few months that I had to take some time to read through them and reply to a few!
