WTW March 31st: Wonderfail Wednesday Edition!

Ah, April Fool’s Day; that wonderful holiday where you can act like a total asshole and get away with it. A mad scientist like myself isn’t going to pass up a holiday like that! So, no more Mr. Nice Wolf! This week’s featured shinies are inspired from all the Wonderfails I’ve obtained over the years through wonder trading.

Throughout the next 24+ hours, I will be wonder trading these “Wonderfail” themed shinies. If you receive one of my shinies off of Wonder Trade, be sure to submit a photo of it. Doing so will net you a couple bonus shinies!

Good luck and happy wonder trading!

Drew some big birds recently. 

I’ve got some stickers coming that have holo where the rainbow bits are… Not sure it’ll turn out well but it’ll be interesting. :3c

experiment goal: to determine whether smarties are an effective tea sweetener

hypothesis: smarties will sweeten the tea, but also introduce unwelcome flavor profiles due to their flavoring

procedure: procured one cup (≈12 fl oz) of Barry’s Tea Gold Blend black tea, hot. added 2/3 of a single roll of smarties candy (10 candies). wait for candies to dissolve, then stir well. tea will be sampled after stirring concludes.

addendum: control group was used. control sample consisted of one cup of the same type of tea, sweetened with white sugar. results will depend on the relative tastes of the control and smarties tea

results: smarties tea was significantly more bitter and less sweet than sugar tea. additionally, the smarties failed to dissolve in the expected manner, and when stirred, ended up breaking down into particulates that refused to dissolve. 

conclusions: because of the chemical/structural makeup of smarties, they do not function well as an ad hoc tea sweetener because of their reluctance to break down. it may be the case that crushed smarties would work better, but this experiment was intended to study how normal, uncrushed smarties would work as a sweetener

Dear everyone who is currently working on a Thing, whatever that Thing may be,

Good luck with the Thing. You can do the Thing. You will do the Thing. You just have to do the Thing.

Best wishes,

Someone who is also doing a Thing

Hey, everyone! I have for you this week a (little more than a) box filled with the legendary pokemon and UBs that can be found wormhole surfing in either Ultra Sun or Ultra Moon + the USUM exclusive Ultra Beasts. All are shiny, have special moves and/or IVs, EVs, in rare balls, etc, and are just plain cute. I also have a plain Sun/Moon option that can be traded (just without the USUM exclusives), so those of you who don’t yet have the new games can get in on the fun. The winners will get to pick which collection they’d like, which will come with 32 - 37 pokemon depending on what they choose!

I’m sure you’re asking yourselves how too can I attain this box of pokemon and finish my pokedex?

You can enter any and all of THREE WAYS: 1. Like this post 2. Reblog this post 3. BOOST this blog by posting ANY picture of a pokemon you’ve received from me in a trade and tag me! (It can be an old picture from an old trade, but it has to be a new blog post). Each entry will count once so you have up to three chances to win. What else? 1. You must be following me to win 2. You must be able to participate in a private trade as well as have at least 30-45 minutes available to do so 3. You must have up to 37 pokemon that you’re willing to give up to trade to me 4. You must be able to receive messages/asks and respond to my message that you’ve won within 24 hours I’ll accept entries from now until Monday, Dec 11 at 8pm ET, after which I’m going to choose 3 winners randomly. Have fun and good luck!
