Noelle headcanons (I really like this movie okay):
The first time the reindeer ever flew for Nick, he was complaining that they never listened to him, even though he was saying the right words. Noelle laughs and says "it's easy, you've just got to say On, Dasher!" Cue the flying reindeer.

In Gen 4, when hacking Spiritomb to have the ability Wonder Guard was a thing, the only move that would bypass it was Fire Fang.
(Wonder Guard makes it so moves don't take affect if they aren't super effective, and as Spiritomb in those days had no weaknesses, it was an oft-seen hack)

I was so bummed to be too busy with moving to draw more for Halloween so I'm making up for lost time- only to get an eye infection so I had to squint through painful eyes to finish this painting 😭

TFW your colleagues tell you it's pyjama day on Friday, but the plans change and no-one tells you...
It looks like being smug because you're now in comfy clothes (with an excuse) and they're not.

If you agree with *all* the reporting of a news organisation that is both independent *and* non-partisan, then it's very unlikely to be independent and non-partisan.
This is true regardless of your politics.
