I think it depends on the person! For you and me it's the flow state, but for others it's probably like, uhhhhhh, a flow CHART?

I hope you're right! It's something that worries me a lot, which is sooooo silly I know! Like girls my age would KILL to look as young as I feel I do, but with me I feel it gets me taken less seriously?

She really does a good job to be fair! Like, sometimes I study her work before you clean it off~

is actually one of those things I'm self-conscious about. So like I'd LIKE for it to not be the case? But I genuinely believe it is.

Girl, you don't need a professional to do it! Let me do it! I might only wear the same three makeup sets most days, but I know now to do some REALLY awesome stuff!

Also like, I hope you mean you just don't buy that I'm right on me having such a baby face, because, like, aaaa, the baby face thing++

The problem is my hair being styled mature makes me look more baby 😔
I totally do though! Or at least I genuinely *feel* like I do!

((CUTE!! Goldie is actually @aurummeddle.bsky.social , but I am SO happy to see pet pics!))

Two things can be true at once~ Hot AND fun! Let's do it!

I mean stunning, and mature, but I don't know about *posh*. Meanwhile you have a face that is soooo good for pulling off mature looks with just a little makeup. Very versatile! That and your hair works well in mature styles, too!

Oh the first one is lovely, and I'd totally wear it on a date with you! It's just not posh!

I DO have great legs though. It's from all the pokeathlon rounds, also the needing to be moving a lot! They are one of the few things that don't add to the baby face!

We both know that first one would have me looking like a life-sized doll! But the second and third... Hm you have a point... Though the third one, I'd totally look like a kid wearing her mom's dress! I just don't have the bust for it. 😔

((Genuinely one of my FAVE things about roleplaying in the pokemon world.))

How do the academies handle it in Paldea? I know the group I'm with has worked with some professors in the region, but we're usually getting pokemon *from* Paldea, not sending them there after training.

Here in Johto and in a bunch of other regions, it's a program ran by the League, but that works in direct contact with our regional professors, and type specialists and breeders. I guess it's more accurate to say the League *funds* it? I'm a bit wobbly on the details there!

((I totally forgot you guys have been interacting, so I could have just outright called you Lep-mun!

I am enjoying the fact that this is like, a series that is incomprehensible with a single video, but as you watch the narrative is obvious, and that's a FASCINATING storytelling choice!))

We're totally not perfect! But we've learned how to work *with* pokemon and nature in order to enrich everyone's lives!

It's awful she put so much work on you though! I guess she might have been in quite a pinch to really pile up work on a childhood friend..?
