You know what I suddenly see what @megaheracross.bsky.social is saying about having a PR person to not let me post dumb shit.

Uwu bottom energy ⬇️

I will also say that I'm so glad Lisia got rid of that stupid ice puzzle in the Sootopolis Gym. No offense,(maybe a little offense) that puzzle does not make any logical sense unless you have a vertical view of the whole puzzle. I'm not a short person but I could not tell what I was supposed to see.

I think I finally feel like I'm settled in. It finally feels... real. Like I'm actually the Gym Leader, I'm actually in charge, it's not a dream or a temp gig or a trial run. I'm not overwhelmed by any of the new paperwork and placements or the gym redesigns or the league meetings. I'm here. 💪🏽

@ford.pokenavs.net you ready for our trip?

Forddddd help I'm on the verge of burnout @ford.pokenavs.net

Bluh, I need a break from challengers, I've hardly had any time to go see friends and relatives, and I've had no time for hobbies. How the hell did Roxanne do this on top of 2 other jobs.

I hate that this whole conversation is happening on my drunk post from New Years so I have to keep seeing that on my feed.

Also I know I could've deleted the post by now but I'm kinda proud of it and also I know it will bug her soooo...

20 hours later and I'm still hungover. Is this my life now?

Ugggh.

Oh jeez the whole damn r9oom is spinningng this is why I don't drink wineaugh

WOOOO. NEW YEAR NEW ME

Ibmayyyyy or mmayyy nort have kissed @megaheracross.bsky.social and @ford.pokenavs.net at midnight at Roxanne. S new years partyyyy.

@megaheracross.bsky.social you ready?

@ford.pokenavs.net hey lunchbuddy, where we going today?

@megaheracross.bsky.social hey want to go hiking with me sometime? Professional development and League bonding or whatever?

I didn't mean any offense Lisia I'm so sorry. I also wasn't just referring to you, that wasn't a subtweet

My major is Geology with a focus on Paleontology, but I dual minored in Battle Theory and History. I've uh. Kinda wanted to be a Gym Leader forever, actually.

Zinnia used to corner Fallarbor citizens at the PokéMart and talk to them about Gods for an hour while their ice cream melted.

I've been so busy I never opened the party favor. Is it really a tablet?

Referring to yourself having procreation habits is wild, y'all.

The only time I've ever gotten dressed up was for school plays or Halloween. Fashion scares me.

I love waking up and seeing I've been followed by a Champion or other famous trainer from a different region. I mean, it's a little intimidating, but damn it also feels good. I'm really here.

I love when people call me a nerd as if it's a surprise. Like look at me? Of course I play D&D and also obsess over 90s League roster changes and also have an encyclopedic knowledge of dinosaurs. Or when they use it as an insult, as if it weren't already a lifestyle I've come to terms with.

@ford.pokenavs.net you working today?

Now that I know it's just her thing, I'm very much enjoying Khepri's 'portent posting'. It's very fun to watch her simultaneously soothsay and grief people.

Is the whole saying someone's name a bunch a business tactic thing? I feel like it is.

@ford.pokenavs.net You did good, Ford.

I feel better about my performance now.

Painting I did for a Hoenn zine a while back! #pokemon

Do you guy want any popcorn? @wally.pokenavs.net @megaheracross.bsky.social

Wally and Khepri seem to be getting along well. And Ford is certainly putting on a show... I feel a little outclassed on the 'performance' side of this whole league thing, I gotta say.

I knew it.

If I had more followers I would make a poll about what to do with the Gym design. But it seems silly when I have like 10 followers.

I did throw up last night though.

Also! Despite @megaheracross.bsky.social 's best efforts, I was NOT hungover at work today. And I think I won the drinking contest. It's a bit of a blur.

My 25 years of palaeoart chronology... In 2017 I built a life-size Liopleurodon head for Wollaton Hall Museum, Nottingham, it had a big mouth! This photo was taken by professional photographer and camera man, Adrian Towell. #PaleoArt #SciArt #SciComm #Liopleurodon #JurassicWorld #JurassicPark

How hard do you think it would be to install these into a building? Just curious.

Roxanne keeps insisting I change the Gym Layout, to "make it my own" but the Gym is literally in *her* museum and also already very Fossil themed. That said I did have some ideas from my apprenticeship with the Trickmaster...

They want /me/ to hire the Gym trainers? What.

So did Glacia promote her or was it just the normal weirdest kids in Hoenn raffle

Day 2 is an easy day, right?

This is why she quit. It makes so much sense. What have I done.

Also really need to stop calling her by her title, I'm not her student anymore.

Okay I'm beginning to understand why Dr. Redwood gave us all those lectures about the 'chaos of league meetings"

...She hasn't since I've been her trainer... right?
