I found a Pokemon that behaves almost exactly like Aloe

[UberScout]

You guys should be familiar with Aloe by now, and that I talk about Pokemon frequently here, as it's a franchise I grew up with. Recently after poking around on Bulbapedia I found a Pokemon named Milotic, and I noticed that its design is very similar to Aloe; sea dragon with a long, soft body, fluttery appendages, the ability to feel empathy and compassion and sense high stress or tension in people and calm them down with pulses of energy. I see this Pokemon and the first thing I have in my mind is Aloe herself; I hear her own voice in this Pokemon, in my mind I see it behaving just like her, first making sure her visitor is comfortable and feels safe around her, then asking how bad they feel and finally offering a nice long meditation with her by letting you sit in her coils until you feel better, or just relax with her. I already posted a status about finding a life size plushie of it on AliBaba for a really good price, and it made me recall that my therapist has had me focus on sensory relaxation as part of my therapy. I instantly had the idea that I could take this plushie and coil it around me just like Aloe, and just chill out under my weighted blanket with it.

Why am I rambling about this? What's wrong with me?

....I think I had too much Bang today.

Nothing is wrong with you. Your writing this is the nicest thing I read today! I feel that I know Aloe, and I think your thinking of her is appropriate. What helps you is what is right with you.

I second this. I’ve oft sat here for hours wanting to ask you more of Aloe and what came to be to bring about her beautiful existence. I have certainly been overwhelmed with pain as of recent and find it rather refreshing to read over, instantly thinking of the plushie websites that will create whatever you want and seeing if it’d be worth sending you one to compare against the Milotic plushie.

Edit: Daughter still imagines Aloe quite often but also we recently got her Horizon: Forbidden West and Aloy is now Aloe Aloe, with her velociraptors (clawstriders), pTerodactyl (sun wings) and water dragons (not actually having any, but she pretends to). Think I may get a stuffie for her, of.

I think it's so wholesome how something I created left a mark somewhere else in the world! I'd love to create some art for your daughter some time

It's very rare for me to be jealous of the writing abilities of a non-professional person I "know," but I hope when you end up publishing something that you'll share that with us here.

My daughter who was a avid Pokémon gamer, she mentioned Milotic also. She liked this and l believed had the Pokémon card. She had a collection of these cards.
