My name in the writing forum friend groupchat has been made "The Gendergremlin" against my will.

However I take this title with pride, as there is all of one person in there who isn't trans, who is also not cis. It's like I just got the equivalent of the Nobel Peace Prize from the Gender Committee.

It's okay. I'll be happy to be your spreadsheet reader if you'll continue to be the one who herds me off to my bed when I spend too much time giving in to the munchies and almost pass out while eating thanks to sleep medications.

'This is the forest primeval. The murmuring pines and the hemlocks,
Bearded with moss, and in garments green, indistinct in the twilight,
Stand like Druids of eld, with voices sad and prophetic,
Stand like harpers hoar, with beards that rest on their bosoms.'

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow #BookwormSat

Kotone looked at me in horror when I showed her my battle spreadsheets.

She holds on to fingers and just won't let go.

The dad-brain has really taken him over, but I'm not going to mourn for him, because he's much funnier this way.

today I visited Grey and Kanade. The following is a non-exhaustive list of nicknames he called her:

- My little potato
- Princess Gripper
- Queen of diaper mountain
- My little sunshine
- The little tater-tot

And finally, when putting her in two layers of blankets and a coat:
- loaded baked potato

I always thought that Jasmine being a Steel-type trainer was fitting in some way. I had no idea just how right I was. I am breathless.

First full day watching Jasmine work. There weren't any challengers today - an oddity for a Saturday - but she showed me a lot of important things in the down time. She also explained to me why her gym had no puzzle, even after all these years.

Good, good. Ah, yes, what type of cookies are they? I fully intend to share them with Goldie and Kotone, and in the event they're especially tasty, I'll probably want to grab the recipe, you see.

If I'm being fair to the people in my day to day life, I *do* happen to say the most outrageous things with a straight face, which is apparently pretty convincing to most people, because I sound more educated than I am.

So to be clear, I am very much not prone to violence. But I do honestly like sending people several times my size flying, and I am lucky to have friends who like to be thrown over the shoulder of someone they can probably punt if they try hard enough. Win-win.

Actually, I think one of the most noteworthy things about Jasmine accepting to take me on after I showed her my social media is that she actually understood when things were jokes, versus being serious. Which apparently is something people in my day to day life have a mediocre success rate at.

Pacifistic for someone with those qualities, to be clear. I don't exactly lose sleep when someone tries to get physical with me because then I get to send someone flying, which is always satisfying after a day of not being able to reach the top shelf without a ladder.

If I pretend I have any interest in society wide violence would that be enough to get me three cookies? The truth is that I am rather a pacifist for someone so full of rage and knowledge of how to knock out someone three times my size, but I'm sure I can muster up an act.

"War is such a waste of time. Can't we all just not fight and not be mean? I-I'll give you a cookie if you don't wage war! Even a-an entire PLATE of cookies!"

[They decided to not mention the timeline shenanigans, and that it was their original timeline's instance of their father who had taught them to be an overbearing force as a leader, not the Giovanni who would later adopt them. To anyone that didn't know the latter man, it was semantics anyway.]

Apologies, that was vaguely off topic...

I suppose what I'm trying to say is that contrasting what I'd been taught about being a gym leader when I was young, versus actually seeing the results of a typical leader, allowed me to change my mind, and naturally think about it. A lot.

Honestly, that man should have gone into tournaments instead, he would have found it much more fulfilling, and maybe he would have decided to not make his mommy issues everyone else's problem!

At some point her went from trying to nurture the upcoming generations, and instead wanted to expend power over them, until he got too busy with Rocket to even do that.

[They then let out an exasperated sight.]

I noticed that even trainers that didn't seem to have much potential had a good experience, learned from the process, and became better for it, even though I knew for a fact that Brock could have crushed them much faster. Once it got through to me, I understood one of father's lesser known failings.

Simply beating down your opponent when they're a beginner trainer is... Well it's counter to the point. And I slowly learned that, hearing how the various trainers, both those who got the badge and those who didn't, would talk about it.

I guess that the urge to follow in Red's footsteps hold strong appeal, even if you could feasibly fight your hometown's leader first...

Anyway, hearing them talk about their battles over the year really helped me mature on that front.

[They gave a relieved smile.]

I admit, if you'd asked me a decade ago I would have been focused solely on winning - that was my father's approach, and what I'd been taught, and also I wasn't very good at taking hits to my ego. Since I was working in Pewter though I got to see a lot of newbies.

The point is after all to act as more than a mere measuring stick, but to encourage growth, even in those who are more than capable of defeating you handily. It's not about winning at all, because winning is far easier than being a proper challenge.
