The benefit of having a completed Pokedex, and no life, is that I find it fun and satisfying to breed Pokemon for people. If there’s a Pokemon you need, or if you want egg moves, or certain hidden abilities, I’m always happy to help.

I have been having issues lately with seeing Nightmare Celestia as an OC compared to how I see her as Celestia herself. So my question to you is this: Is Papillon still Fleur or is she an OC? What determines that she is Fleur? When exactly is Fleur not Fleur?
It really depends on what you consider an OC. In the case of Solar Flare, I would consider her a pseudo-OC for a few reasons, namely that the design is original and not taken from the show, and that the characterization is original, even if inspired by the show. If you consider her Celestia still, then she is as you openly acknowledge that Solar Flare is a potential outcome for a well established character, but without that background she can and likely is considered an OC.
Papillon is much the same, but slightly different. While I did base the design off of Fleur de Lis, the character had been featured so sparingly in the show, and with so little input or support that I had to put a lot more into her character. If you look around, my version of Fleur is so vastly different from the generally accepted ideas that there are many who thought that she was my OC to begin with. As for Papi, she was originally Fleur but she was my Fleur and not anyone else’s, and she has come to be much more than simply a changeling Fleur.
If you consider your Solar Flare to be an offshoot of canon Celestia instead of an OC, then continue to call her such, and defend it. If you feel that Solar Flare has drifted so far from a canon representation to have broken from it, as I often feel with Papi, then taking offense at someone calling her an OC shouldn’t get to you. -
US students will be able to shield themselves during school shootings with the latest in body armour, the Bodyguard Blanket
http://goo.gl/WwvECTAre fucking kidding me? I have been sitting at home and constantly watching the news after the events of yesterday. For those of you who are wondering, I am a junior at REYNOLDS HIGH SCHOOL! I was there when the shooter kept running in the halls trying to open the doors and get in. I was there in the dark praying and crying while my librarian kept saying ” they’ll have to kill me before they touch my kids” I have known her for three years, her determination to keep us safe broke her heart. Seeing this, that little children need protection in school. Are we sending kids to a battlefield? I have three little brothers ranging from 5-10, and still people have the nerve to speak about the second amendment? Really? I can’t even type anymore. I’m so disgusted and frustrated. When will you realize that it’s important to have gun control? When a shooter is pointing a gun at your child? Is that when you’ll realize that guns aren’t something to be kept around. People say it’s a free country but honesty, this country is more oppressed and diseased than any other country.
Show me ONE instance where gun control and gun free zones prevented school shootings.
Let me tell you guys a story.
In 1996, in a little town in Australia called Port Arthur, a gunman killed 35 and injured 23. This place was a tourist attraction, with plenty of visitors and locals going about their business.
35 people died.That’s 35 marriages, anniversaries, birthdays or uni degrees. 35 people left Port Arthur in body bags.
At the time, we had a pretty conservative government, and the Prime Minister at the time (in hindsight) was kind of a dick. But within two weeks of the shooting, Howard instituted a massive reform and buyback of all firearms.But it must be a statistical flaw, you say, there weren’t that many massacres before 1996, right? No, WRONG.
In the eighteen years leading up to Port Arthur, there had been 13 mass shootings.But April, you ask, this couldn’t possibly have worked could it? Wouldn’t it only have reduced the mass shootings? WRONG.
Since 1996, there have been ZERO mass shootings. That’s right, ZERO. FUCKING ZILCH. There have been scattered homicides, however:How many schools have been raided and children murdered? NONE.
How many film buffs have been murdered in their seats? NONE.
How many innocent lives have been lost to the barrel of a gun? NONE.On top of this, homicides involving the use of guns, and youth suicide involving the use of guns has declined dramatically, by up to 60%
Australia, however much the environment tries to kill you, is a safe haven, and you can walk the streets with 99% assurance that you won’t fall victim to a drive by shooting.
Your move, America.

Headcannon: nymphs love to nibble on things, like when that one hung onto papi's ear. thanks to chitin it doesn't hurt thankfully, but that doesn't stop nymphs from nibbling on hooves when they get close.
Nymphs are curious by nature, and early in their lives have trouble seeking answers outside of strictly physical means. As such, nibbling is a very common means of discovering what can and cannot be eaten, and of playing. Due to a changeling’s chitinous hide, there is very rarely any pain from a nymph’s nibbles.

Which is the truth, dear Fleur, all my yes to Fleurity. World also requires more Fabillon.
Truly, the greatest of shippings.

How did germany and japan develop extremely strong economies?
They funded engineers to death.
Because engineers, and scientists make things happenAre we going to ignore “Banksters”?
LISTEN TO THESE PEOPLE AMERICA!
You do realize all three if those countries are smaller than Texas right? We have at least 10x the population of those three COMBINED!! It won’t work for us. We’re too big
Brushing off the problem with the explanation of “We’re too big, it won’t work for us” does nothing to help matters, and arguably only raises new ones. You’re right, all of these countries are smaller than Texas, but size does not effect an idea, backing does, and economically the US has better economic backing than any of the three. The GDP of the US is the 6th highest in the world, whereas Finland’s is 24th, Portugal’s is 46th, and Iceland is 14th. That is money per capita.
The difference between these countries and the US on these issues is not size. It’s viewpoint, and that is reflected in their actions.
Finland education is the highest in the world because it treats teachers as valued professionals instead of glorified babysitters, and it treats students as children to be guided, rather than cogs to be shaped.
Portugal has helped its drug issues by acknowledging that people can and will get substances should they have the desire to do so, and that it will destroy their bodies. So, instead of punishing the person and perpetuating a habit at public cost, they treat the person as one who is ill and needs help, and works to end the addiction outright. Honey vs. vinegar.
Iceland recovered from their recession more efficiently than other countries because they recognized that the issue was not with the common person, and that the common person would be the one to be most heavily affected. They helped their people as a whole, at the cost of harming the few who had lead their economy to recession and collapse.
This is not a matter of size. This is a matter of views. These countries chose to look to their citizens as people who would govern the future, and should be helped in the present. Whether the US has or does the same is a matter of debate. -

So, Patrice Desilets, the original director of the Assasin’s Creed series, believes that having female models in AC: Unity would have been great, and that time and budget shouldn’t have stopped the developers from including them. (Source)
This is a fair complaint, and one that may be rectified post-launch with DLC and free patches.
While I agree with Desilets’ complaint, I can’t help but point out that the only games in the series he worked on were AC 1 and 2. This shouldn’t be an issue, but the only female character in AC 1 was Lucy, and the majority of female characters in AC 2 were sexualized by Ezio for the narrative, including Caterina Sforza.
Playable female models were only included in the series after Desilets left the project, and it was after his departure that Assassin’s Creed adopted yearly releases.
As I said, Desilets’ complaint is valid, and his reasoning is good, it’s just not backed by his own influence or experience within the series. -
The world needs more Fleurity.
