I decided this week's word would be about me!
Spheksophobia
You probably recognize phobia as a fear
Spheks is for sphex, which means wasp in Greek
Yup
Spheksophobia: The Fear of Wasps
I paralyze and break into tears at the sight of wasps, so I know I have spheksophopia
Do you know anyone with this?
Anyways, I hope you learned something new and see you next week!

Hades0918
Hmm... So I went and took a looksy around in Pocket. Logged in, opened my daily pack, collected my gifts (thanks CP for Froslass), and then made my way over to the social tab. My fingers were going straight for the friend button, a mission in their mind and ready to get the job done. But right before I pressed it I noticed the small red dot on it. A new friend request, eh? I decide to check and see who needs approved, ya know? Wanna take a gander at who it was? PokéMom! That's right! The same one you were talking about! I have officially been bamboozled! I decided to go ahead and accept, but there was an error (maybe fate was telling me not to do it? Well I ignored the message) so I still ended up using the ID you gave me to get this mysterious user as a friend. Now I'm more confused than ever... My thoughts? Either someone that knows PokéMom or someone that has been watching the Forums like a hawk does prey, memorizing our IDs when shared and hoping to be able to wiggle into the friend group in disguise... (Sorry, you brought up Detective Izzy and he makes a story of every "case." That was in one of those old timey black and white movie voices (I call it an off-brand Detective Gadget accent))
-
Dragonfly102024
(LOL! I referenced the detective on purpose😉. So awesome job!). Curious indeed! This is bugging me..... I need to know who it is! 😁
-
-
-
Dragonfly102024
Ummmmmm @Hades0918
? I just looked at their showcases.... Have you? It's a joke right? Or do we have a "fan".... Maybe a clue is in their third showcase?
-
Hades0918
... What? I haven't looked at their showcase. Gaspuh! Is it Charizard!? Let me go look quick. Brb!
-
Hades0918
Well, here's the thing D. I'm a Mega Charizard X fan, not Y. Y isn't bad but I wouldn't showcase it. But what about the second one? A Dragonite ex. (I know they aren't you, I'm just pointing out that that's two of our favorite Pokémon and one of our names...)
-
Dragonfly102024
Yep! I want to know who this is!!!!! (Oh is the third showcase a clue? Is there anyone here who really likes "that" pokemon?)
-
Hades0918
(Not that I'm aware of... I don't want to say the third Pokémon, though, because if someone tries to claim to be this person we can ask what the showcased cards are and if they don't know they were lying)

you are correct
Galarian Meowth and its evolution…Purzerker, originated when Meowth stowed away on ships sailing to and from Galar. The rough life style hardened its fur and claws, giving it a steel typing

To all of you that read my stories, I have a request
Start holding me accountable
I have a bit more time now but I'm choosing to neglect my works
Don't let me do that
I want y'all to demand that I get a chapter of something done at least once a week
And feel free to make requests while you're at it!
For examplr, you really want a Lance and Homare chapter?
Say: "Hey! It's been a while! Get to work on Lance and Homare! I want it done by the end of tomorrow!"
Don't worry about sounding rude
I haven't been holding myself to a good enough standards so I need someone else to so I can get back into it
Like I said, don't ask me to
Demand I do it
Thanks in advance

Good Job @Hades0918 ! You finished ahead of "schedule"! 😁. Thank you. I will read soon.

Hades0918
You're welcome! I look forward to reading your thoughts! Now for someone algae to give me a date (and request if they want)

I really like Homare and lance.
Could you maybe do the next part/chapter..?
I mean: I DEMAND YOU TO!!! 😊 -

You are too fast! Lol. You get work out before I can even read it... huh. Ok. Ummm. yeah. I guess that makes sense, because if you didn't have work posted the. i wouldn't be able to read it so you have to be first … nevermind. You are just right! (Now I need to read)

Where are yooooouuuuu? (No, don't answer that, I was just singing along). Hmmm I just had some scooby snacks (lunch) and I'm feeling... full. Lol
-

-

-

Hmm...
I just had a random realization
So growing up my closest friends have always been female
My cousin Kylie, who was practically a sister to me, was the main one, but when I went to a physical school the majority of my best friends were female
I had maybe 3 male best friends but 5 females, and I was much closer to the girls than the boys
What I have realized though is it's the same here on the Forums!
I have plenty of people that I hang out with here but the two I hang out with the most (and two people I feel most comfortable around) are @Dragonfly102024 and @PokeMom244
Both females!
Sigh
I guess some things never change lol
08 Jul-
-
-
Voltareon2012My favorite characters are (almost) always girls…
I usually have more friends that are boys, but I tend to feel more attached to the girls…
Huh I guess me too kinda -
Hades0918
I'm actually pretty balanced when it comes to which characters are my favorites, and my friends were pretty balanced between the genders as well. I was just closer to the females and hung out with them more.
-
Dragonfly102024
I agree with @PokeMom244 ... Super duper sweet of you @Hades0918 ! I'm cheesing big smiles right now 😁😁😁 and how can I forget 🔥🐉🔥!

I could be writing right now...

But I'm not
I could be watching Pokémon right now...
But I'm not
What am I doing?
Sitting in my swing and repetitively pressing refresh like other users will magically hop on and start a pointless but fun thread
Yup
That's my life

(I was on my wrong post. I came here to talk about my sneeze and thought I was on that one. Whoops lol. Aaaaaand spam block) Why thank you, @Ember2026!
-
-
Dragonfly102024
Lord of the Rings... Awesome movie! I was so happy when it first came out (I saw it in theater) and they ACTUALLY made the characters come to life how I saw them (or very close to) in my head 🤯! I read the books years prior to the movies so of course I compared everything (especially how the changed a few things from the book and where they ended the first movie) but of course, books can include soooo much more than a typical movie length. I guess it's understandable that certain things had to be changed. Still, definitely good trilogy and movies.
-
Hades0918
I want to read them but I'm broke 😭 I do love the trilogy but I've only seen it once. I want to rewatch them!

I jhst sneezed THREE TIMES in A ROW withOUT PAUSE!!!
If you don't know the beliefs, one sneeze is someone is thinking about you, two is someone is thinking hateful thoughts, and three means someone is in love with you...
And I don't mean throughout the day...
IT HAS TO BE BACK TO BACK IN A ROW!!!
Someone is in love with me! 😭

Dragonfly102024
Ummmmmm..... @PokeMom244 ? Do you have an alternate personality or something that we never noticed because it makes no sense... How could ANYONE "think hateful thoughts" about you? My mind is 🤯.... (Oh wait, is this an Umbreon vs Vaporeon thing 🤭)

@fineasmatei Japanese: You just half a common cold. Western: You will die soon. Spanish: Health, Money, and Love will all be granted (they say that as a joke). Spiritual: A divine being has come upon you to bless you or you are undergoing a spiritual awakening. These are the for sneeze beliefs. The belief I was referencing in my 3 sneezes was Japanese, so if we're being the same as mine then you're just sick.

@SilasK17 this one girl I remember in third grade gave me a pokemon card, and right after I thanked her she asked to be my gf. I declined and she bounced back quickly and ended up being the inspiration for one of my characters

SmellykikiSo does this mean Hades is in a relationship or isn't too many questions not enough answers
-
Hades0918
Me? A relationship? That's hilarious! No, I'm not! Happily single yet unavailable. While the thought of romance is nice, I don't want it. Not yet, at least, but I plan to keep it as single forever. Unless that special someone comes into my life and we just click, I plan on focusing my life on me. All my time, energy, money, and resources need to be for me, but a romantic partner would ruin that, expecting me to divide those things between me and them. Plus, if I get into a toxic relationship or go through a hard break up, that's a mental impact on me that could throw my whole life off course. I'm good staying single
-

-
Hades0918
Ah, yes. Me am human. My day has been going great, thank you for asking. How about you, human? How has your mortal life been?
-
PokeMom244
My mortal life has been good thanks for asking.
Glad your mortal life has been well.
I am a bored human tho.

your answer to the trivia question was not correct, though you were close
taken from the Pokedex entry from Pokemon shield
"In homes illuminated by Chandelure instead of lights, funerals were a constant occurrence— or so it's said."

That was so much fun!!!
:) but!!!
Just because I'm charizard doesn't mean you have to be.
Tho it is fun to be matching!
Hope To play again soon!
-
Hades0918
Well, D and the Blaziqueen were matching Mewtwos and we couldn't let them have all the fun! I also really enjoyed when me and you were Ceruledge and Armarouge and they were the Eon Twins! We had some really good themes going! That was fun!
-
PokeMom244
That was so fun!!
Thanks for playing!
Armorudge and Ceruledge had sorta matching outfits!!!!
We reeeeally got beat by alot in one.…
But!!! Otherwise I think we did pretty good!
Can't wait to play again soon!!
-
Hades0918
Me too! Our outfits actually were matching! They're the same set! I was going to tell you that when I got to your wall but never made it there lol. Yeah, we got beat (more like destroyed) but we still had fun! Or at least I did! Also, as Delphox after beating Regigigas my ebtire game glitched and whwn I was finally actually playing again I was dead. I WAS SO MAD!!! 50 points wasted! But can't wait to play together again!

(I typed up three main chorus to Unfaithful by Rihanna with extra letters on held notes bit the website reset so I'm just gonna copy and paste the lyrics over because I don't feel like retyping all that)
🎶🎵And I know that he knows I'm unfaithful
And it kills him inside
To know that I am happy with some other guy
I can see him dying
I don't wanna do this anymore
I don't wanna be the reason why
Every time I walk out the door
I see him die a little more inside
I don't wanna hurt him anymore
I don't wanna take away his life
I don't wanna be a murderer🎵🎶
(I jam out to this on kareoki!)

I have a question..... why doesn't she just leave him? Why do the whole cheating thing? Clearly they (the hypothetical people) both know according to the words, so why not put everyone out of misery and break things off cleanly and move on? She's just being cruel by dragging it out. The only thing I can semi understand is if kids are involved, but even then the adults shouldn't be with others. Got to suck it up for the kids or break things off and move on. They need to make a decision BEFORE the actual cheating so no cheating happens. (I've got issues with this song, sorry.)
-
Hades0918
It is! I probably would listen to it casually but I pour my heart and soul into when I sing it! I don't have experience with cheating, though, so I don't know why I get so into it lol

Coding was a success!
Me and my sorta buddy exchanged numbers!
He also did buy me gloves...
I do appreciate it, but still feels a bit weird
We buddied for the class again and even made a team name (Tenth Sol)
We put the Chinese words to our Team Name on our Joy-Stick
Pretty good day, my peeps!
020 Jun-
PokeMom244
I love that!
I'm glad you have a "sorta buddy" you can talk to and not be alone there.
Also love the name tenth sol. -
Hades0918
Thank you! Me too! I'm just gonna say friend now. This was actually the first time I personally asked for someone's number and it felt so awkward! I contemplated asking all day and finally gained the guts to say it. I asked "Would you mind if we exchanged numbers?" He responded with "I'd love to." Be mocked the mannerism I said it in lol. Anyways, yeah! Pretty good day!

PokeMom244
… I also want the power.
C-can you give me the power?
(Jk you don't have to)
Looking like these classes just aren't about coding
-
Hades0918
I'll tell you later (busy right now). No, they are. The teachers are just childish and indulge in shenanigans with us lol.
-
Hades0918
I read that as "aren't about coding" I didn't see the "just" You're right, @PokeMom244 we've had some other random stuff in there
-
Dragonfly102024
AWESOME to it all, @Hades0918 !! Congrats on your new friend🎉🥳🎉. And I can hear the "mwahahaaaa!" as you contemplate ways to use your new found power!!!
-
Hades0918
Thank you! Yes, I tried very hard to get the QR Code into here when they taught us how to Rick Roll y'all but the Forums doesn't allow QR codes apparently... Anyways, once we can me and @PokeMom244 (since I taught her) can do it to you all! MWA-HAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAA!!!
-
-
-
-
UnovanZorua
Not everyone. I'm sure some people will be caught off-guard, especially since few check the activity page. I recommend sneaking it into something normal-looking related to scanning QR codes. If you do it first try, people might expect it, so make a few normal posts first so the people checking the QR codes don't suspect anything and the people who know won't know when it's a normal post and when they'll find the rickroll. The easiest way to rickroll someone would probably be what @fineasmatei did in the Incrineroar vs. Sneasler thread— make it seem like a normal link related to the topic (make sure only the actual link— without the page title or the thumbnail— is visible. Always make sure the page title and thumbnail can't be seen), when it is actually a link to the music video.
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
UnovanZorua
And if someone memorises the link after being pranked a few times, always remember you can link to a reupload. And remember to make it as unsuspicious as possible. Something that seems extremely related to the topic. You can lie to make sure it's clicked on.
-
UnovanZorua
You could also use links without page titles and thumbnails whenever you have completely normal links of any site so no one decides to press links with page titles and thumbnails only.
-
Hades0918
You know how to do this so well, UZ! I'm shocked you haven't Rick Rolled anyone or use any other prank...
-
-
PikaCarter2025
Yet you have. Having hidden the link in text. In the “Guys, I think the forums got an update” thread.
-
Hades0918
Wait, so @clasingla was telling me not to trust @UnovanZorua because one of those were a Rick Roll!? I haven't clicked them yet, but I trusted you UZ!

My mom really is da man
She bought me Cult of the Lamb

WORD OF THE WEEK!!!
I almost forgot!
And as a last minute decision the word is:
Ultracrepidarian
It is when someone gives advice or input on a topic they know absolutely nothing about!
In other words, a know it all that knows nothing
Hope you learned something new and see you next week a

Sigh... That "a" at the very end isn't supposed to be there... I wanted an exclamation mark!
-

Dragonfly102024
Hmmmmmm I wonder if anyone here in the forums is an ultrarepidarian? Not me, I'll be the first to tell you when IDK or I'll say something like IMO or I think or maybe etc.

Pssssstaahhh!
Hades.
THAT WAS SO FUN!!!!!
One round we were all eevees!
That was so fuuunnn!
The holowear you have for ceru is awesome!!!!!!!!
That was my first time playing as umbreon. I like her!
I had fun!
Also did you bring cp in there?
If so thx!
Hope to play again soon!
-
Hades0918
Yeah, I invited her! I think you did great as Umbreon! Unfortunately the Holowear is only a rental! 😭 I hope to get the real deal, but the way to get it is pretty much impossible (it's the boxes you open every couple hours). Can't wait to play again!

You know, I've been kinda feeling Zara Larrson (spelling?) lately
I didn't care for her in the beginning but after a few listens I really like the songs I know by her
Which is only two
Midnight Sun and Lush Life
I really didn't like it in the beginning but I do now!

Dragonfly102024
Thank you for playing with us! I apologize for the Eevee game though .. my wifi became extremely bad, it kept saying in game "reconnecting" and everything was running in place on my screen. I think I saw Leafeon circle me a few times but... I couldn't DO anything. So frustrating. Otherwise, the other matches were FUN 😁! Thanks again!
-
Hades0918
Yeah, I ran around you a few times lol. I was having some lag as well so I was trying to see if you glitching was just me or you as well. I also had a whole lot of fun!
-
Ember2026
Hiya! Thanks for playing! Sorry about stealing the first mon out the gate, auto target gets annoying sometimes... And also I realized I don't have Quaquaval yet... So sorry we couldn't be the paldean trio the second round, anyways, it was still fun!
-
Hades0918
You're fine! I appreciate you still trying to let me have it! Also, I did feel a bit sad that we didn't have the Paldean trio, but you did great as Mimikyu so I can't stay upset. Thanks for joining us!

Hades0918
I read it! I was on spam block (and about to be again for responding here). I had commented on @Ember2026 wall again
