hey. is anyone here an expert on pokemon breeding? i've got a mystery for you.

[Attached is a picture of a Drakloak wearing a very sparkly and sequined scarf cradling a tiny Dreepy in his arms.]

regris evolved recently and i don't know where the little one came from. also my gear's telling me that regris is definitely a guy, so there's that too.

while i'm at it, has anyone else heard about this urban legend called "missingno?" it apparently appears around the coast of cinnabar island. gonna check that out

Video Post

[The video feed opens on Rose and Greg trying to get both of themselves into the frame. Which is impressive, considering Rose’s size. Both look exceptionally happy. Rose pushes forward a little bit, eyes big and bright.]

Hello everyone!

[Greg ducks under her arm and then raises his own hand in greeting. His left hand, to be specific. There’s a ring there, on the ring finger, made of varnished and laquered wood.]

Hey! Rose and I have an announcement to make!

We’re-- well, we’re married now! [He laughs awkwardly, rubbing his neck.] I mean, we were kind of as good as before, since I more or less lived with her for years--well, sort of, we didn’t have a house or anything, I’ve actually never owned a house--well. Uh. Anyway. I asked her a couple weeks ago if she wanted to be Mrs Universe, but we were waiting for the rings to get finished.

[Rose is just beaming, eyes glistening as she holds back her sheer overwhelming joy.]

I’m Mrs. Universe!

[She can’t help but repeat it. Gems don’t have any concept of marriage, but she’s been among humans long enough to understand the concept and just what it means. They’re a pair, so close they share the same name now - like human families. It’s another thing she never imagined she’d ever experience, but here they were.]

Oh, here, get a close up…

[Rose moves her own left hand to take Greg’s and hold it out, to give a good look at the pair of matching rings. Both sport the same design, carefully carved into the wood. A curling vine of flowers that weaves in and around a scattering of stars and music notes.]

Aren’t they great? One of Rose’s pokemon made them! [Greg is still really impressed by this.] Anyway, uh, I figured since we’ve had a kid together and Rose is human now, more or less, and we’ve been given some more time together… well, why not?

[Rose just nods along, face nearly split with her wide grin. She’s practically vibrating, even her impressive size not enough to contain everything she’s feeling at sharing this with the world.]

I’ve never been anyone’s wife before! [Exclaimed with an air of awe giddy delight.] But I’m so very, very glad I get a chance to be Greg’s!

[And that’s all she can manage before her human body begins to betray her and her throat feels thick and there’s a prickle in the corner of her eyes.]

Aw, Rose… [He’s going to just hug her now.] Anyway! Uh, if you need to send mail to us, just address it to Mr and Mrs Universe now! Thanks!

... okay, you can turn the camera off now.
