Haha sorry it was pretty out of the blue, lol. I just see you everywhere I look on the forums!

c u r r e n t s ^^

That's gonna be me on Sept 25

Hi ^^ I'm back haha ... I actually don't know why I "forgot" or "abandoned" Poké community ... Maybe because I was not able to integrate here in the Poke community very well ... I don't know ... but anyway ... I'm back and ready to interact with people here ^^ (Sry if my English isn't perfect, I'm from Portugal so :/)

Oh really? What happend, if you don't mind me asking.

Cool gif! Very watery!~
Hope you're feeling well now. ^^

How come Serena's fortune didn't come true during her second attempt at the PokeTripolthen just like how Bonnie's fortune came true? It was suppose to foreshadow her second loss, which would've been more stressful for her to the point where she might go bald.

Oh keyboard broke btw

Wow. That sucks. :/ The worst part is that I always feel like my voice is normal. It's like my brain is partly deaf or something from knowing if my voice is okay or not. I used to have it worse as a kid. Like, my mom would tell me to go brush my teeth. I'd go into bathroom and become absent-minded... and end up wtfing because I couldn't remember what I was told to do. So, I walked up of the bathroom like whatever lol. Plus, I paid more attention to rocks and keeping to myself than playing with my peers. Though, that could have also been because a lot of my peers rejected me. :/ Not only that, but I'd be in seventh or eighth grade, and I'd be friends with kids who were in 3rd or fourth. All because the kids in my class (I was pulled back to seventh from eighth for some fucked up reason) always said I never took showers and shit like that. :/ It wasn't bad, but when you're messed up in the head and have special needs... it can still cause some problems later in life. :(

Yeah, that sucks. :/ My only issue I've ever had is dealing with teachers who couldn't 'teach' a highly functioning autistic person. So, I used to get some trauma from that. It was worse in my life skills class too. It was either the less mildly disabled were rolemodels to the more severe ones... or... they were treating me like a second year when I was actually a FIRST year in that class. They acted as if I already knew how to cook or clean or whatever. :/ I had a lot of meltdowns in that class, and the teacher would often treat me like I was just being a brat. I don't think she even knew what Autism can be like.

You know how we have loud (or soft) voices? Well, I have a loud voice when I talk. Anyway... I got in trouble for 'raising' my voice to this one kid in that class. One of the aides scolded me for it. We were at the bank cashing our checks because we each got one for serving pizza on Fridays. Moving on, we get into the van to take us back to class, and the aide goes to tell the teacher what happened. I'm thinking, "wow fuck you too". So, I get sent into the teacher's little office, and she's asking me why I yelled at the kid. I told her I didn't, and I tried to explain that my autism causes me to have a loud voice... that bitch of a teacher called me a liar and kept asking me why I yelled at the kid. It really made me mad. D:

My autism must not be as bad as yours. O_o I mean, I have my moments... but my autism is been alright for me. I mean, no offense. D: I only have a more high functioning form of it. I do get anxiety spells more than I really want to. ;_____; My meltdowns/outbursts have been improving some though.

Yeah. :/ It's hard when you really get obsessed with something, especially when autism is involved. It's like a nagging feeling that won't go away.

I won't take time off when it's on... I'll just ignore it when it is around. XD It's not really my thing to be totally honest. D:

Do not worry, Hikari, you have done the best you could, and I'm still waiting for the blog contest announcement as well. However, I'm having some internet issues that I may be forced to be under hiatus right now..

I'm not sure if that rivalry based was because of the fans or the PC's staff's intention, I'll ask Marcin for more on that. Competitiveness can be healthy and completely harmless, but that depends on the participants completely.

Fight it, fight it, fight it.~ Even Steven Universe is capable of protecting Connie on the episode where she makes her debut, so can you.~ Yes, yes I get it he's a fictional character. Nevertheless still inspiring, kind of like you actually. I mean despite the struggles you have faced throughout your life, you're still standing. A lot of new kids here on PC are looking up to you, I recall someone was even asking you to be their mentor.~

I didn't know they were victorious, but ignore that. This your chance to learn and improve to have sportsmanship and be more positive on accepting the loss. We all have our stories, you have it, I have it, everyone in our friend list has their stories too. In my case, no matter how dark, how much trouble, how deep were my pasts with the bonus of social anxiety and depression, I tried my best to bite through it. Now back to your case, this loss is just something minor to what you have faced from your entire life, not to mention there might be bigger troubles in the unpredictable future and let's not forget about the future GTs. If you keep on sulking, you'll just end up scaring others. So... are you just gonna sulk if you lose every year? That's not gonna work, buddy.

Is winning really the most important thing? The event is Get Together, main purpose is to gather everyone and having fun as well as enjoying the process! Winning and losing is just secondary. Tell me what do you really gain if you were victorious, other than people's greet?

I didn't know the details about the competition, all I could say was tough luck for getting an undesirable theme. But we all get our bad times at life, not every little thing is perfect. :')

Now that the event has ended, focus on being a bright star in the forum like you always do.~ A lot of new kids look up to you.~

Take the loss as a motivation to improve, losing sucks but it definitely sucks more if you dwell in it! Try your best to fight the negative vibes with music or anything that can really soothe you!

As for 2016's GT, no one has the crystal ball to foresee the winner, as you never know you might end up as the winner. Don't let the anxiety get over you, I know it's difficult to rub it off but you have to believe in yourself. I can only offer you the rope to climb and escape the negative zone, but whether to climb or not to save yourself, it's all up to you. You're a wise person, you know the right and best decision.~ :)

Why didn't you wish me a happy birthday?

I'm not sure what happened as I'm not active at the GT Event, if you mean failure as in you lose in certain events. There are times that we lose and we win, don't take the loss to the heart. It's not worth getting sad over it, there's also next time as well!

Talk to me if you need to, I'm here and trying my best to stay active here on PC.~ ^^

Yeah, it is. D: It seems only very few or less actually give out consolation prizes. The ones that do, are the ones I usually can't do. It really makes me kind of disappointed. I agree that the least some events good do is give you a emblem for having good effort, even if you didn't win. D:

Ah... I can't really say much for the Prettiest Profile contest from the PokeCommunity Get-Together 12 (GT 12), although I skimmed over the thread once or twice.. In the end, the votes are subjective and can vary; simplicity can be favored at point and complexity can be lauded at the next point.. It's understandable that Team Unova's performance can be a bit discouraging due to fewer available participants. But yeah, consolation Emblems would help so that it doesn't feel like all of the invested time was for nothing (at least from the competitive perspective), as a lot of factors can affect event performance (being a mismatch for a given theme, time constraints, Internet lag, etc.)

I'm not sure how the issue of "advantages influenced by a region's number of participants" will be rectified for next year; I would like there to be a way so that everyone can choose their preferred region, yet smaller-populated regions won't be terribly disadvantaged..

Regardless, your current profile's simplicity looks nice and "mysterious" (that is, if your current profile design is the one that was used for the GT 12's Prettiest Profile Contest); I'm guessing the black-and-white coloration is due to Unova's respective game versions? ^_^
