Name: Tide (eheheh… I’m not comfortable sharing my real name)
Pronouns: she/her; I’m female :)
How you see the world: Well, as a Christian, I believe we’re all going to a better place once this is over, but I think we should definitely still be doing good while we’re over here, too. I don’t think the world as everyone says it is, mostly because the news focuses on the exception rather than the regular — just because you see people robbing others and acting like douchebags on the TV doesn’t mean your average Joe isn’t a kind and thoughtful person. That said, there definitely are some stupid lil’ idiots rampaging around this place.
Positive Traits: Kind and friendly. I can take a joke, and I can come up with some really funny ones if you give me time. I tend to see the glass half full. I’m okay with acting on hope and faith alone, and I’m very trusting in my friends.
Negative Traits: Perfectionistic. A procrastinator. Some of my friends have described me as naive, which… honestly kind of hurts me, you know, nobody likes to be called naive. I can be kind of sensitive, and I wear my heart on my sleeve, but hey, at least I’ve got one, right? :)
Hobbies and things you enjoy: Competitive Pokémon, particularly Sword & Shield Showdown! VGC. Some shows/movies I’m into are Marvel, The Dark Crystal, Stargate, and Battlebots, all of which I obnoxiously write obscure references to in all of my class whiteboards. I love reading and writing, by the way, I haven’t actually gotten to writing any books yet (as a minor in school, I’m not sure if I could even find the time to) but my dream is to be an author and I spend half my free time either fine-tuning the plot of my planned series, Clocktwist, or roleplaying on Scratch (a coding website with a big roleplaying and art community). I also draw, but not as often.
Things you don't enjoy: People saying Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon are better than Sun and Moon. Like, WHAT THE HECK? They completely destroyed the plot. The Mother Beast scene wrapped up Lillie’s character arc, was the climax of Lusamine’s, gave Gladion redemption, set up the end of the game, fit as both a surprising plot twist and a natural continuation of past events, fulfilled the need for a compelling trainer (jellyfish?) fight in the climax of the game, gave previous dialogue hidden meaning, gave all of the characters REASON for their actions, shed light on some of the most daring and dark plot elements Pokémon has done yet (which were previously hidden, because nobody had the context this scene gave to realize them), and, most importantly, worked SMOOTHLY and NATURALLY with the flow of the game and its storyline. Ultra Necrozma, on the other hand, was completely unexpected, completely unreferenced to, was random, sudden, and grabbing, INVALIDATED everything that came before it and made Lusamine’s, Gladion’s and Lillie’s storyline a complete false climax, in return for an excruciating boss fight that added absolutely nothing to the game except for pretty lights and a cool new form and role for a Pokémon barely anyone got around to catching in the originals. Granted, the rest of USUM’s features were cool, but the plot of SM was FAR superior.

In any case, I don’t like the usual; jerks, crimes, bullies, curse words, horror movies, heights, weirdos, and inappropriate comments. I also don’t like people wearing their mask under their nose in public with strangers on purpose. Please, you’re not helping.
How are you with people? Pretty good! It can get awkward if I don’t know anyone, or if nobody’s talking and I’m the only one who is, or if everyone else is best friends and I’m just so-so with their big friend group. But most of the time, I bring a cool conversation and maybe a couple Pokémon references nobody gets into the rooms I go into.
Describe yourself in ten words or less: I have memorized Agatha’s runes from WandaVision. No regrets.
