So yesterday was my 31st birthday, and also my 26th Pokémon anniversary. Because I had finished my annual Pokémon anniversary blog early, I spent all day yesterday writing this blog about my favorite Pokemon character Zinnia. instead
(I'm planning on writing a fanfic about her and Aster's past in the near future too, BTW.)

Steven Stone: You're the–!
Joashu◇☃☀★J4: The Draconid, yup. Or you could just call meZinniaJoashu◇☃☀★J4.
こんにちは! I'm Draconid_Jo from 3DSPaint, and I'm a hardcore gamer, ア ハードコア ウィアブー, a scalie, and a Pokémon Master with over 25 years (and tens of thousands of hours of gameplay time) of Pokémon Training experience!
I'd like to thank my BFF TulipsOfLove for telling me about this AWESOME website in the first place back in 2020, and also for giving me this AWESOME smartphone of mine that allows me to be far more active both here and over on Paint!
I'd also like to thank my AWESOME friend JinxCade for helping me with the fonts on my profile here; my old friends Gemini Guardian and banjo2 from Paint for helping me to style this AWESOME Zinnia+Mega Rayquaza themed profile CSS of mine, and also for that welcome message at the top.
I pop online as often as I can, although not nearly as often as I want to because of our lack of electricity ATM, but feel free to send me a friend request or leave a comment on my profile here.
Oh, and in case you're wondering what my signature here means, check out this blog I wrote about it.

Mix Records
Spoiler:
I have EVERY Pokémon in the Gen 6 & 7 National Pokédexes (all 807), allowing me to breed any Pokémon that can be bred (including numerous ones with Hidden Abilities, as well as Phiones), in both Gen 6 & 7.
I don't have quite as much to offer in my Gen 4 & 5 games ATM, but I do still have a reasonably complete Pokédex in them (and also the Pokérus), and if you're interested in trading and/or battling me in Gen 6 or 7 (once Pretendo works with those games anyway) my 3DS Friend Code is [B]1816-0480-9484[/B], and if you're interested in doing so in Gen 4 or 5 using Wiimmfi (which should actually work), the following are my current Friend Codes for those games:
Joashu★ (Pokémon SoulSilver Version)
5331-7659-5349
Ashujo☀ (Pokémon Platinum Version)
1463-6369-4874
Jaoshu☃ (Pokémon Platinum Version)

Jaoshu☃ (Pokémon White Version 2)
2239-3894-9516
Ashujo☀ (Pokémon White Version)
1077-0898-2934
Also, although I don't have the Gen 8 or 9 games yet (or even a Switch to play them on), I can still battle y'all on Pokémon Showdown now, and if you're interested in battling me my username over there is “Dracovish_Jo”, named after my favorite Gen 8 Pokémon Dracovish.

Who is Draconid Joashu?
Spoiler:
"Who am I? That's a surprisingly difficult question. I couldn't become who I was supposed to be, so who does that make me now?"
—Lorekeeper Zinnia
In human terms, I am a 31 year old straight cisgender man who still lives with his
Still, that isn't quite as bad as it might sound, and I have gotten to play countless different video games over the years (that list is still a WIP), and also watch many different anime series.
The very first video game that I ever played was Freddi Fish, which I first played when I was only 3 years old, and I have played a number of different video games on different Nintendo, Sega, and Sony consoles over the years, going back as far as the SNES and the Sega Genesis.
(It's been a LONG time since I've been able to play anything on a PC, though.)
Of course, if my profile hasn't already made it obvious, my favorite video game series is
I am also a devout Christian ✝<><, who believes in a form of Christianarcho-communism Ⓐ☭ that embraces 2SLGBTQIA+ rights (please read this blog of mine to understand why), Green Ecosocialism, Total Liberation , and the Consistent Life Ethic. I first converted to Christianity over 5 years ago, thanks to both my good friend Siling-La over on Paint and my late mother, and I enjoy talking about my faith with anyone who wishes to do so, provided that they are polite and respectful about it.
(And if you'd like to read my testimony, it can be found here.)
I've always loved animals and nature, especially fish and reptiles such as sharks, turtles, crocodilians, and pretty much anything large, scaly, and prehistoric-looking, lol!
I hope to have a pet epaulette shark someday, and although I haven't been able to read many books here, I have read quite a bit about proper herp and fish care, as well as books about sharks, dinosaurs, dragons, and other things that a little boy (or someone like me who never outgrew that sorta stuff) would be interested in.
Music wise, I'm a big fan of OSTs, particularly music from all of those video games and anime series that I'm into so much. Here are my favorites.
(I even wrote these lyrics for Zinnia's main theme song.)
Although it is still a WIP, you can also check out my music profile over on Paint to get a better idea of what sort of music I like.
Paint Admin History
Spoiler:
7/11/2022: I was granted blogmin and pollmin privileges over on Paint by Rlad116, largely thanks to all of those who voted in this poll of mine, and this blog written by my good friend Siling-La in favor of me getting those jobs.
11/5/2024: I was granted groupmin privileges by Overlord Divine Crusader.
11/26/2024: I was granted all other admin privileges (besides Overlord) by HullBreach, after showing him that over 30 people signed this letter of Amjam's recommending me and/or my BFF TulipsOfLove be made Overlords.
12/7/2024: I was granted Overlord status by Hullbreach.

Why Dr. Jill Stein deserved to be the next president
Spoiler:
"Let us all pray for a perfect multiverse. If we set aside false notions, such as the idea that existence is limited, and that certain things are "impossible", I know that a perfect multiverse not only can be achieved, but will be achieved, as it is the Inevitable Outcome of such realizations."

Another cool song I learned about from one of my friends over on Paint.
A friend of mine from Paint told me about YonKaGor recently, and I've gotta say: they're AWESOME!!!!!
Thanks to my good friend @JinxCade from over on Paint (who recently joined SC BTW), I now have some AWESOME new fonts in use on my profile here!
@DraconidJoashu: A
I should really remember to bookmark status posts that I plan on going back to to comment on someday, lol! :[
Incidentally, is there a way to look back at a specific user's old status posts?

Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood had some really good music, too!
Yet another one of my favorite anisongs.
(This one is the opening theme from Tokyo Ravens Season 1.)

My favorite anime outro of all time.
(Which is saying a lot given how like 99% of the music I listen to comes from anime or video games, lol!)

@DraconidJoashu: Hey Jo, am I banned on Paint?
So we just had a bunch of “OGs” come back to Paint for some event thing—“Nostalgia Night”—but I swear to God, these peeps were WAY more ill-behaved than the worst of the teenagers who are normally active over there, except that these folks had admin powers to abuse…
(How are me and @TulipsOfLove supposed to keep them from breaking the rules of the site when they can just weasel out of bans by abusing their buddies' admin powers?)

I'm not exactly in any position to ATM anyway (I'm broke), but how exactly would I go about donating to SocialCu.be?
(The donate button on the dashboard just sends me here…)
…So they shut our water down yesterday.
@TulipsOfLove: I just updated my profile here BTW.
(I might do some additional work on it later though, such as adding some of those cool flair tags to it.)

Since @.:A-MAN:. has been posting music lately, I figured I'd join in on the fun too, starting with my favorite anisong of all: Snowstorm, by Rie Kugimiya.
(It's actually my favorite song overall BTW, tied with Zinnia's battle theme from Pokémon Ω Ruby/α Sapphire.)
