In pokemon universe/lore, The are cognisant and sapient, living with and around humans for years.
But yet, there is a huge distinction between products/buildings, as if humans have build and lived without pokemon around until relativly recently.
You have human sized buildings, human sized vehicles, human sized concepts. But yet, pokemon are treated like animals. They are either strays, running along where humans can’t see them, or travel with trainers/owners.
The even have pokemon as helpers in constuction or job industries.
An intresting concept would be just casual pokemon interacting in a city structure like people.
A gardevoir buying groceries from a vaporeon in a wet market.
A Murkrow running a register at a popcorn stand.
A lucario checking out latest products at a store window.
A group of young pokemon hanging out in an arcade/mall.
Magnezones checking up and repairing eletrical wires.
And it doesn’t have to be humanoid pokemon too, since pokemon are smart enough to design utilities for non-humanoid shapes.
I guess kinda like PMD, but more modern?
In the Pokemon Tabletop United Game I’m in, we actually just sailed across the sea on a Wailord to find an island just like this; Everything built with Pokemon-sizes in mind, with the two living in conjunction:
A ditto street magician/artist doing shows.
A power plant that ran off electric pokemon donating their surplus charge (for a check!).
Grass/ground/water pokemon running the agricultural center.
A Machamp was the mayor, an Arcanine police chief.
Out in the suburbs, some guys teaching a Magby how to operate a grill.
At the ‘university’, a Blastoise Mixologist who spends all his time making booze. He did not hesistate force a sampling by firing it at us.

so i am a shitlord who fucks things up
lost my brother’s dog
family has decided to sell off the house
i’m being pressured into finding a full time job instead of my part time job
so I’m going to have to focus myself elsewhere for a while.
I am sorry for this and thank you for your concern.
These are diamond-tipped indenter heads. They are used to inflict ludicrous pressure upon various shit in order to measure the hardness of said shit. Recently, one of these was used to measure the hardness of a certain animal’s shell, and, instead of crushing the ever-loving fuck out of it, it found serious resistance.
The aforementioned animal is a snail.
Let me spell this out for ya. There is a snail that can resist the onslaught from an industrial-grade diamond applied with the pressure of several metric fucktonnes. A. Snail. That. Can. Resist. A. Diamond. Indenter.
Just imagine stepping on one of these guys. Instead of breaking their shells like those of usual snails, you’d break your own fucking ankle.
Jesus trilobitic Christ.
Today’s Episode: the Scaly-Foot Gastropod
Just look at this little piece of shit. Look at it and say to my face it doesn’t look like a tank.
What we’ve got here is the rather lamely-named scaly-foot gastropod, also known by the considerably more badass-sounding names of iron snail and
Chrysomallon squamiferum. The SFG hails from the deep-sea thermal vents known as black smokers, deep-sea vents from which water gushes constantly. That water, by the way, originates from below the mantle.
The proximities of black smokers are perfectly lightless, unforgiving badlands, with water rich enough in poisonous sulphuric chemicals to perform the chemical equivalent of curbstomping on any “superior” lifeform that dares stick it’s overspecialized, prissy ass down there, heat up to 450 degrees Celsius (one thirteenth of the temperature of the Sun’s surface) and pressures that could turn any land-dwelling scum into a Flatlander within seconds. If creatures want to survive here, they must either be hyper-effective murder-machines, or damn nigh unkillable.
The SFG’s predators, such as venomous, killer cone snails with bionic harpoon guns evolved from their own “teeth”, and car-wrecking carnivorous crabs that kill snails by pressing down on their shells for days with jagged ultra-hard pincers specifically designed to do this belong in the first category.
The SFG itself belongs in the second.
Hoooly shit does it ever.
The unkillability itself is obtained by using the chemosynthetic bacteria lurking in its glands to absorb and mineralize the poisonous iron-sulphides the water is overabundant with, making them non-poisonous for the snail. It then coats its shell with the minerals, constructing an unique three-layer structure no other gastropods possess. None.
To sum it up, the outer layer, used to block the bulk of the attack, is made up of greigite (Fe3S4), a ridiculously hard mineral. Then comes a middle layer of squishy organic matter purposed to absorb the shock of impacts, dents and blows. Finally, an inner layer of aragonite (CaCO3), designed to prevent asshole crabs from sticking their nasty claws into the shell and picking it apart splinter by splinter.
How effective is it? Well, this armor is so much better than what we puny humans possess that the U.S. Army is actively conducting research about it with the hope of developing new armor using the same build. Yes, this shell is so unbreakable that it caused the a military to lose their heads over a goddamn sea snail. Go figure.
Also, according to biologists researching the SFG, if we covered oil pipes with the stuff, they could easily shrug off damage done by such trivial things as fucking icebergs,
Not bad from a snail, I say.
But that’s not all! Look at it again.
There is a reason it’s called Scaly-foot Gastropod.
Those are scales. Made out of iron minerals.
Iron minerals that are poisonous and magnetic.
The scales are there because of the tooth-harpoon-hurling killer snails. Namely, they serve to deflect the harpoons entirely. Deflective iron scales. On a snail.
Holy crap.
So let’s sum it up, shall we? There exists a snail that forges itself a magnetic armor made out of poisonous iron ore to fend off killer crabs and venomous sniper snails that hunt it in its habitat of a vent leading to the Earth’s mantle.
Oh, and they don’t really eat anything, relying on their chemosynthetic bacteria for sustenance instead. In layman’s terms, that means that the snail keeps itself running by oxidating the sulphides in the water, all of which are lethally poisonous to most lifeforms, including the snail itself. The only reason it survives is that the bacteria chemosynthetize the sulphides, enabling the snail to quite literally live off of poison.
This molluscoid tank is ridiculously metal in more ways than one.
I LOVE this sort of thing and holy SHIT is this amazing <3
That’s totally a steel/poison type pokemon.
Honestly, this thing is inadvertedly my insperation for my Rabbolds and iAm somehow.
When artists look at their own work and call it awful, we mostly mean “this is nowhere near what I am capable of producing and I feel like I have let myself down” so please don’t feel bad about your own work when we say this about our own art, it really doesn’t reflect how we see your art.
Pondering doing art for steam games/cards for Christmas. Let me know if you’re interested.
So I totally did not know that steam sales were starting now.
I guess lets do this.

shapeshifting is the best super power because you can have any haircut any time you want, you can turn into a hotter version of yourself, you can turn into a dragon, you can turn into a robot, you can turn into a shambling mound of abstract shapes and sulk outside your estranged father’s house at night while chanting ominously about his sins,
So the tumblr app is now showing stuff in chronological order.
From some arbitrary point in time.
So you’ll have posts from 8:00 to 14:00 done in chronological order, and then you get posts from 7:59 backwards.
Who the fuck decided this was okay?!
the tumblr app is a punishment for our sins
I generally find it tends to bug out after either ads or posts from followed tags that it recommends. If it’s skipping posts refreshing it usually gives you the proper order.
>Refresh the app
>App is infinite scrolling
WHO THE FUCK DESIGNS THIS SHIT!
GIVE US AN OPTION TO TURN THIS SHIT OFF!
