Okay so I've been replaying old Pokemon games and the thing I'm just now realising is that the villains in these games if not for their generally goofy/over the top appearances and the fact this is a kids game could actually be legitimately scary.
Cause like Lusamine's whole shtick was she loved Pokemon to the point of obsession and possession, she saw herself as the saviour and that anyone who got in her way were trying to take away was is hers (this also extending to her love for her children with her viewing them more as possessions to keep than seperate entities with their own identity).
So like this all would definitely make her a horror movie villain in a different media, but instead she is a Pokemon villain defeated by an 11 with the power of God and friendship on their side.
so finished reading Margaret Rogerson's "Sorcery of Thorns" and I need to get them out. First off I enjoyed this book the main character Elisabeth was interesting and her growth was fun to watch, the love interest Nathaniel was a smart-ass and that was just really funny to me but the blurb (??is that how you spell the summary of the back idk but that thing) called him her "sworn enemy" which was just ?no? she was confused and wary towards him due to preconceived ideas about sorcery but he was hardly an enemy in her mind so bit misleading, there were a lot of moments of humour (mostly from Nathaniel by being a smart-ass but other characters definitely also contributed as well)
Overall, a fun read and would recommend to others
(two sections that I made me giggle)
I don't know if you've done this before but what are some good ways to describe speech?

His voice was deep like the rumbling of the earth.
She had the voice of a singer, smooth and rich like chocolate.
Their voice reminded him of spring rain.
He often paused in his speaking, like a car radio that had lost signal.
She had a lilt to her voice that made it seem like she was asking a question.
Their voice was monotonous, threatening to put her to sleep with every word.
He couldn't put her voice into words. It was... otherworldly.
Her voice was brittle, as if she were on the verge of tears.
Their voice was authoritative. Their words carried like a loud command.
His voice, unapologetic and unwavering, made her shrink back.
Her voice was barely above a whisper.
Their words were cold with anger.

a good day, for me at least, consists of a hot water bottle and nice cup of tea whilst watching old school Disney/Ghibli films, listening to lo-fi Hozier music and wearing a cozy blanket-jumper with fairy lights on
I never realised how cozy and content this would be. 10/10 would recommend
Do you think the island challenge amulets would look a different depending on the island it was gotten on?
Like Melemele's is obviously wooden but maybe Alala's would be rock/stone because Olivia is a rock specialist; maybe Ula'ula's would be made of old metal to reflect its kahuna being a cop (metal badges) as well as Tapu village and Po town being abandoned/rundown; maybe Poni island's would be clay like the Vast Poni Canyon
Im sorry was I ment to find out that monkeys apparently have food pouches like chipmunks from Journey to the West??
