OOPS! UH OH!

Hi howdy!

“i’ll be hardcore porting over bios lol’ I said… a month and a half ago. And then I didn’t! Well, kind of.
I keep getting sick! It’s annoying! But when have I ever had a proper schedule ever in my life?

Despite this, I’ve been trying to do as much as I’m able. You may have seen a handful of empty/placeholder bios being made – because, as much as I love toyhouse… the moderation situation and exponential growth in spite of it are kind of scary. So I wanted to just make sure that the character gallery here was complete, even if certain characters do not have a proper written bio to port over yet.

I’ve also made a list of other small fixes I’ve been putting off for way too goddamn long, some of which I’ve done. Again, life kind of keeps continually kicking my ass, dude. Most notable of these will probably be the header, which now includes Ultra Arc characters, as well as cycling backgrounds!


– Addition

– Edit

Added a handful of placeholder bios for bioless characters.

Added in Ultra Arc characters to the pool of random header characters, Dmitri, and cycling backgrounds.

Sloooooowly updating character bios to fit the newest format, which now includes a ‘last updated on’ timestamp and a silly favorite button. Leaderboard page for that TBA, need to make it pretty still.

Hi howdy!

I joked about how I was only doing these updates once a month last time, and then the monkey’s paw curled…

Been dealing with a lot (understatement), so thanks for sticking with me ^^ Because of this, there really aren’t… a lot of changes or updates, but there’s some things!

Hi howdy!

Haha, oops. Are we just doing once a month updates now? Is that where we’re at?

I’m fighting a bad infection so antibiotics are putting me through it, but also resting too much makes me go stir crazy. So I set the website’s layout on fire again! Well, actually just the header. There’s been some bio updates as well, so lets get into it!

Goodbye to a world – Happy 9th Anniversary!

…That title sounds drastic, but I promise it’s not really. Kind of.

9 years, huh? That’s… a long time. I felt like I was reciting what to write here over and over again, but now that I actually have it open, my mind is… completely blank. Which is kind of how it is with me!

Four years ago, around Pokeau’s 5th anniversary (I think), I finished DELTA – the first novelization project. And, for 9 years… Moon is complete, too! Its cool to see the contrast in these stories, following the same family – and how I’ve improved as both a storyteller and an artist. And it’s certainly an achievement! I mean, 70k words? Good god. You should check out the newest chapters, btw.

But…

It feels like it’s been drifting a bit. Not entirely, but let me explain some things that have been on my chest for a while.

Last year in April, Ultra Arc came to be. It was a detached storyline that spiraled into its own unique world and plotline, and I became extremely invested in it – to the point of neglecting ‘classic’ Pokeau. But, it wasn’t Ultra Arc’s fault alone in this. Because while Ultra Arc was more ‘freeing’ in only having vague ties to Pokemon, classic Pokeau has its roots already too deep. And when the direction of the games and the fandom began tiring me out… my investment with classic Pokeau waned in favor of Ultra Arc.

And it’s… distressing, to say the least. At least for me. Because I’ve been so hardcore dedicated to Pokeau for 9 years, that a waning interest is scary and I don’t like it. I know it’s the course of life for things to change, but the naive part of me wishes it wasn’t like that.

Which isn’t to say classic Pokeau is dead. At this point, I think it’s just going to go down with me. But… there’s certainly lots of conflicting feelings and troubled emotions. It started with the SwSh era, and only intensified tenfold when it came time for ScarVio. Fandom alienation and the exhausting media cycle TPC seems to be pushing has just increased to be unignorable since then. Burnout allegories amongst characters have been a bit of a trend in the postgame, so… maybe the advent of the Ultra Arc is just a well-needed vacation?
I can only go at something so hard for so long, I suppose. And while I’d love to give equal love to both at once, it’s… hard.

But that’s a bit depressing, isn’t it? And I’ve been feeling a bit too much of that lately. Let’s talk about things that suck less!

The amount of non-canon characters in Pokeau, including Ultra Arc and PSMD, has surpassed the amount of original Pokemon! It’s… probably not 151 anymore since there’s a few new folks I haven’t factored in, but I still think it’s super cool. According to Bulbapedia, the amount of sync pairs in Pokemon Masters is at 208 (as of writing) – so let’s see if we can get there, too!

I’ve learned a lot of new skills because of Pokeau – one of them being ‘proper’ animation and rendering in Blender! It’s kind of always been a dream so make silly animations with the cast, so I can’t wait to see what the future for that holds. Seeing my new renders and animations compared to the little MMD skits I’d make as a teenager… it’s a cool contrast!

Speaking of, PSMD! That’s a thing! Though I’ve admittedly… been slacking on it, a bit. But it’s cool that the Pokeau universe feels fully ’rounded’ now, since a proper PMD-verse had been missing for years, despite having a rough skeleton.

And of course, I’ve said it before, and it’s cheesy, but it’s true: the strides of improvement I’ve made over the past year because of how dedicated I am to Pokeau are wild to look at! I mentioned in last year’s anniversary letter, but it goes to say again – I hated my art, but ever since last year, I’ve finally been feeling more content and confident with it, and its done wonders on my overall self-esteem. It took years of effort to change how I thought, but finally living in the payoff is wonderful. I’m happy.

Let’s keep going for a full decade!

Spooky fox friday

Hi howdy!

Oops, post-covid symptoms are beating my ass!

Not a lot of updates, but I’m still alive. Just some new pages of things that crossed my mind to add!

Again, I can’t promise updates will get any more frequent, but I’m trying my best.

Screw it, Silly fox Sunday!

Hi howdy!

Because nothing is sillier than… partially bulldozing the website’s layout instead of sleeping! I’m going to regret this so, so much later (as one does with all-nighters), but at least for now, I’m happy with the layout for the next 5 months until I want to bulldoze it again : p

But, aside from the… more obvious visual changes, haven’t done much due to being busy on other ends. Made a few new bios, made the groundwork for pages that will take me 6 months to fill – the usual!

I will say in advance though, with the weather getting colder and the seasons changing, the onset of seasonal mental BS is making its grand entrance – so I can’t promise getting any more consistent with updates, because the priority is kind of just surviving, haha.


– Addition

Edited the CSS so I’m more satisfied with it – character pages need to be updated. I haven’t even looked at the mobile site yet but I know it’s bad, sorry. It’ll be fixed eventually.

Beach episode fox friday

Hi howdy!

Not me forgetting to post a FFF for the whole month! Oops.

I think I mentioned it in my diary here, and have elsewhere – but I’ve been struggling pretty badly with mental health turmoils. However, thankfully, as of… 3 days ago! I got my dose of ADHD medication upped and it’s been helping a lot! Once I have a ‘clearing period’ of two weeks, I was also going to get the antidepressants/antipsychotics increased to deal with that issue as well.

August was kind of a crapshoot, but here’s hoping I’ll be able to do much more going forwards!

Because of this, there haven’t been many updates, but there’s been a few! Thanks for bearing with me :}

AAAAAAAAAA (FOX FRIDAY)

Hi howdy!

It’s been a hot moment since once of these, but this one is worth it, I promise! Gonna make it short and sweet because I kind of have a migraine.

MIGRATIONS ARE DONE. GOD DAMN IT. SORRY FOR ANYONE WHO HAS ANY SORT OF NOTIFS TO THE RSS FEED (AKA ME)

With migrations out of the way, I can finally focus on bios for bioless characters again!! As well as story sections!! Exciting!!

In addition to migrations, there’s some slight CSS changes as well as a new character gallery icon style! I was planning on also splitting the character index between OG Pokeau and Ultra arc so the sections could have their own unique search filters, but I’ll do that… later. Again, migraine.

Popularity poll results will be out Friday next week, by the way! So there’s still some voting time c:

1am Fox Friday

Hi howdy!

I was kind of debating on whether to make a newspost this Friday, then it dawned on me that I completely forgot I did the world page update… oops.

But hey! I also made some more CSS changes! So that’s enough new stuff to justify a FFF.
I’ve been doing a lot of work migrating character bios from TH, but that’s too boring I think.

Once migrations were done, I had some fun ideas for a gimmicky artfight section – let’s hope I can space things to get that done time-wise.


– Addition

– Edit

Migrated characters up to Orchid. There’s like, 20 left now!! Soon!! …Sorry if anyone is following the RSS feed.

Adjusted some CSS more – it definitely screws over small resolutions and probably phones too, I’ll fix that when I can remember to. Also, gallery pages need a fix to fit the new header sizing so they’re not off-center.

Made the world page less barebones, including some background info! The map blurbs are also there now, but region hub page links still lead to a 404 as I haven’t gotten to them yet.

Postop party fox Saturday!

Hi howdy!

I was going to post this on Friday… but I was feeling a bit too wiped out! As mentioned via my diary here, I had surgery on the 12th! And while I think most of it at this point is just placebo effect, I’m feeling a lot peppier! Minus the obvious fact that I do feel kind of like mashed potatoes physically as my body uses all its energy to recover.

Still, I’ve done some small updates before that, and I’m hoping to get a good amount done as I recover – as drawing and writing aren’t exactly ideal distractions in my current state.


– Addition

– Edit

Migrated a handful of characters.

Adjusted some CSS – I replaced the image border and made the sidebar-included main panel around the same size as the panel on pages where there’s no sidebar. Not sure how bad it fucks with mobile ATM as I haven’t had time to check.

Edited the homepage a bit, I’d like to make a few more tweaks soon!

Funny Fox Friday, no snow edition

Hi howdy!

Long time no update! I thought things were getting better… only to be slapped in the face with even more severe symptoms. You know how it is! But thankfully I’m a bit more perky because it’s actually getting warmer (for realsies now, I hope…)

Not a lot of huge changes, but some characters have been migrated and I’ve made some adjustments to the gallery pages! I’m hoping to get the world page up and running properly soon, since I wrote up a page on Lostlorn I want to… actually post, lol.


– Addition

Migrated a few characters.

Added fancy layout to DELTA, like how moon has.

It’s been slow! Wild how just 3 days of total fatigue can cause an avalanche of backlog. But I’ve mostly bounced back, I hope? But just because I’ve had some more pressing things to get to, there aren’t a lot of updates since last time. Maybe once I’m totally stuck in my room after surgery I’ll actually get stuff done?

Hi howdy!

Updates?? Two weeks in a row?? Wowie!

I had meant to post this yesterday, but ended up falling asleep early. But that’s ok, because I got even more to show for today!

There’s some slight changes to the general site CSS – as well as a major update, being that things are on a road to being mobile friendly! Finally! The homepage, nav, characters page, and updated character pages are usable and readable on mobile! Remaining characters will be added as they’re ported over, and things like the location pages will be updated… soon.

It’s a neverending cycle of cleaning up, thanks for sticking with me!

Hi howdy!

I’m typing this as I’m imminently about to go on a break… not really? It may as well be a reverse-break, considering I’ll only have access through my old laptop, which means the only things at my disposal are this website, writing, and maybe pixel art.

Still, I did some general cleanup, and have some more planned (if I didn’t get distracted by 3D stuff, again,)

Hi howdy!

It’s been a bit slower than I’ve wanted, honestly, but I’ve done some things! Due to the weird weather here it’s in turn made me feel pretty fatigued and lethargic, in combo with me working hard on a mod for the Sims 4 (Pokepets: coming soon!).

Still, there’s some notable changes – not just migrated bios!

Migrated and updated characters through names starteding with B.

Hi howdy!

May god have mercy on my soul.

A few days ago, I finished refreshing every character’s bio… which means… it’s migration time! Finally! So expect things to be a bit of a mess here until that’s done, lol.

Though alongside some related re-styling of certain things, that’s really all I’ve got to report on! It’s just one big thing instead of a bunch of small things this time around.

Also, this is the first 2-consecutive-weeks FFF in… months? So that’s pretty cool.

Funny fox friday, in 2023!

Hi howdy!

I… may be sleepy.

Which isn’t new, I’m always sleepy. But it’s been a productive period since the last FFF, I think! Multiple things on the todo list finally got squared away, so my outlook for the new year is optimistic!

Most noticeably, the pages for locations and townships (using Waterfall as my text subject) have been revamped, and I’ll work on rolling this out to the other location pages soon.
There’s also some new gimmick things and minor updates described below!


– Addition

– Edit

Added the favorite character picker, using the code from Cave of Dragonflies. Enjoy the endless pain!

Added a ~secret~ gacha machine, will be made live as I work on more code for it (currently it just has a pulling function right now).

Added the Harmonia family shrine to my personal corner. It’s a bit embarrassing but who cares.

This doesn’t really count but I made a bunch of zorua images transparent so. There’s a lot more FFF images now.

Overhauled the location + township page layouts! Currently only live for Ultra Waterfall and the Town of Waterfall.

Updated the random character picker… finally!

I FIGURED OUT HOW TO MAKE THE WEBSITE MOBILE-COMPATIBLE!! This was discovered while building the revamped Waterfall pages, I’ll roll it out to other pages as soon as I can ^^

Hi howdy!

It’s only 7pm!! I’m not late!! Don’t worry about it!!

Not as major of an update as the last one, mostly me shuffling stuff around in the background to prepare for the mass migration of bios! Speaking of which, progress refreshing old bios + writing new ones has been going very well! I’m hoping sometime mid-January or sooner I’ll be able to start the mass migration.
Some of this shuffling can be seen, but it mostly involved redoing the character bio + gallery layouts. It hasn’t yet been rolled out to existing character bios, as I’m waiting until it’s migration time!

IT CAN STILL BE FUNNY FOX FRIDAY IN MY HEART

Hi howdy!

Uhh… oops. I forgot to post these for a hot moment! Sorry! …But not really.

Ever since the 8th anniversary, I’ve been busy for good reason! I’m actually doing things! Wow!
Most of this is on Toyhouse for now – I’m slowly but surely refreshing oc bios to make them up to date – once this is done, I’ll mass-mirror everything here! I’m just opting to get it all done first because I feel like it’d get messy if I mirrored them as I got them individually done.

Lots of site changes, too! Most are kind of half-assed placeholders but it’s something! I feel like it’d be easier to describe them in bullets below.

Lastly, thank you to the Yesterweb Ring and Original Hearts ring for letting me in the club! You can find their webring pages linked on the Global Link page. I’m always open to affiliate with others or join webrings, so you can always shoot me an idea on the guestbook! (wait, what guestbook?)


– Addition

– Edit

Added (very barebones and wippy) guestbook page! Though I have commenting enabled on archive entries and news posts, I figured a proper place to say words would be nice.

Added Zin’s corner! A little space for/about me and some more silly things that aren’t explicitly Pokeau-related.

Added the ‘theatre’ tag for videos and animations.

Added a fancier WIP page notice.

Edited the directory! A bit of a WIP since world links are mostly a mess but I made space for them, as well as added some of the new pages. A non-functional flattened sitemap link is also there, TBA in the future!

Edited the map, it uses leafletJS now! I’ll eventually add in the maps for everything else and make links functional.

Overhaul of the characters page was done due to the plugin I use for it updating automatically to an entire overhauled version. Still making it look pretty, but at least it’s functional now!

Made modifications to the new character template, including a music player instead a link and some fancy CSS… it’s not live yet and confined to a test profile but it’s worth noting.

Generally just cleaned stuff up.

An ode to 8 years

Artist: https://toyhou.se/Nishkii

It’s not Friday, but I suppose it can be in the FFF tag anyways. Because it wouldn’t really make sense to post any other day…

Happy 8th birthday Pokeau!

November 21st marks the 8th anniversary of Pokemon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire – a date that I’ve gone to also adapt as Pokeau’s birthday.
A player character named Renee and a delta episode with a rayquaza named Emmy was all it took, huh?

I try to do these retrospects every year, but this is the first one on the actual website! Plus I don’t think I actually wrote a good one last year and instead wrote a bittersweet oneshot instead because I was sad. And to be fair, I’m going through the seasonal woes again right as we speak, but I felt I wanted to write up something a bit more significant.

(As a fair warning, this is pretty cheesy. Consider this a semi emotional love letter to the thing I’ve spent the past 8 years on.)
