I had fun here everyone. I don't think I belong here anymore, but I wish everyone the best

Me playing Fallout 4:
Step aside husband, I need to go get friendzoned by Nick Valentine.

Me excited to pursue a career in art: YIPPEEEE!
*Remembers I hafta learn anatomy, something I can't teach myself*
Me: aauaauUAAUUAAAA-

I used to think that shrimp could see more colors than humans (I remember reading it a few years ago) and I was furious.
Stupid shrimp. They don't even have a spine, yet they still have bad posture.
I wanted to unlock the Shrimp Colors DLC, I wanted more colors.
I am happy to report that shrimp do not see more colors than humans, I no longer have to be jealous of them.
(Here's a link to the thing I read, feel free to slam me if I'm wrong, I'll happily go back to hating those invertebrates)

I've been watching the Mario Movie trailers every time they come out...



I'm still not huge on Chris Pratt as Mario, partially because Chris Pratt is everywhere (He's a fine actor, but I'm tired of him being everywhere)
But the movie is looking surprisingly nice? (Shocker for Illumination)
I also appreciate the movie's willingness to make fun of Mario.
I still won't go see it myself, but that's because I hate going to movie theaters alone.
Also Rainbow Road looks gorgeous.

My school blocked Wattpad. Again.
I get a distinct feeling that it's for good this time...

Latest miscellaneous thing I've enjoyed drawing for certain character designs: Unhinging jaws on humanoid characters (Two characters have this trait)
Each design is created in a manner where the jaw opens in unique ways, one opens wide in the same general method as human jaws (Inspired by Endermen) while the other has the lower jaw come apart into two mandibles (Inspired by Spiders)

I'm an avid Pokémon fan, I like almost every game.
However, I don't like BDSP (Brilliant Diamond, Shining Pearl) because I think they failed miserably. They were new, being the first main series Pokémon game to be outsourced to a different lead developer, being ILCA. This was definitely new, but it led to a game that was clunky and wasn't fun. Unlike some people, I have no real issues with the graphics. The game didn't feel new, it didn't add to and improve the original games, it just directly remade them, faults and all. Most of the improvements made by Platinum weren't added. The games just created a remaster of Diamond and Pearl, but without the charm.
The games also have a horrible difficulty curve, the games are reasonably easy, until the Elite Four. The Elite Four is horrible to fight, since they use excellent strategies. The Pokémon are also designed to be just shy of competitively perfect, giving the Elite Four an advantage that you cannot truly counter. It isn't the kind of fight that is difficult, but fun, it's just a miserable experience.
Then you get to Cynthia. Her Pokémon are competitively perfect, creating a battle that is the least fun I've ever had in f*****g Pokémon. That fight took me 20 minutes because I had to heal-stall her.
The thing is, this kind of fight could reasonably exist in a game. As an optional post-game challenge, not as something needed to beat the game. This game failed to consider a significant portion of Pokémon's target market, kids. This game is too difficult for most kids, younger kids don't know complex strategies, most kids (and adults) just want to use their favorites. This game isn't fun to play, and I didn't touch it after I beat it and got Giratina. Until recently, I'm working on catching all the Legendaries in the game so that I can transfer them to different, better, games.
I think ILCA has the ability to make a good game, but this was a very bad first outing.

I've been changing my username on most platforms to LavaSherbert to reflect how I've been changing, it's no longer based on a character I don't use (MIja) or on something that isn't my own (RouxlsKaard5) Instead my name references one of my most beloved and complex characters (Pyre)
I'm moving forward with improving and evolving my art, characters, and stories, since I hope to be a Video Game Concept Artist.
I've found myself drifting away from here as I'm moving forward with my personal life... It kind of makes me sad, I miss the days of RPing constantly, doing RP and stuff like that hasn't sparked the same joy in me anymore... I miss you guys, but I'm so busy that I can't even get time to come on here often. Most of my story work has been done elsewhere, mostly Wattpad. Plus my school has made it hard to do that since I have to go through a lot of hoops to share art here.
I'm not 'leaving' the Boards persay, but this is a formal notice that I'm not going to be doing anything major on here for the foreseeable future.

I miss this place and I miss you guys, but I don't think I'll ever go back to how it used to be on here.

Here's my favorite starter for each generation, minus one tie

The first two chapters of the thing I've been working on for the past two months is out on Wattpad (Read story description for more details)

Should I make my story shorter and more direct or should I have more detailed descriptions of the environment and monsters?
