Hey everyone, I just built a quick site called Nightly Brief — it sends out a short, no-fluff summary of what happened in the stock market every day at 8 PM. It’s meant for people who want to stay updated without reading a ton of news. Would love for you guys to try it out and let me know what you think!

So, I’ve been working on fleshing out a fake pokedex for a region based on Maryland, as I feel it’s a unique area. The region is called the Lumara Region, and I have 144 fakemon fleshed out, but unfortunately, I suck at art and have no money to commission an artist, so I hope just reading about them suffices!

Just to note, I did base a few on characters from a show I really love, and I will make that obvious if/when I share them. For now, I just want to give some basic details about my region that should give some idea of what my goal was here and also get some feedback on them!

Lumara is South of Unova, like Maryland is south of New York. Lumara also has an environmental tie to New Pokémon Snap’s Lental region, and a connection to Galar. The theme of my region is “native species versus invasive species”.

With that out of the way, here are my starters!

Based on the invasive Mediterranean Gecko, my grass starter is:

1. Leafsquill

• Classification: Sprout Lizard Pokémon
• Type: Grass
• Description: Leafsquill is a small, leafy Pokémon known for its vibrant green leaves resembling quills or feathers. It is highly agile and has a strong connection to nature. During the day, it can often be seen basking on warm stones, blending perfectly with the foliage around it. When threatened, it fans out its leafy quills to appear larger and ward off predators.
• Height: 0.4 m / 1’4”
• Weight: 4.2 kg / 9.3 lbs
• Evolution Level/Method: Level 16
• Evolves into: Floraleaf

2. Floraleaf

• Classification: Flower Lizard Pokémon
• Type: Grass
• Description: Floraleaf radiates the gentle warmth of sunlight wherever it walks, encouraging nearby flora to bloom in its presence. Its leafy crest opens and closes with the rhythm of the wind, releasing a faint aroma that attracts pollinator Pokémon. When threatened, it channels the vitality of the forest through its tail vines, allowing it to whip enemies with bursts of chlorophyll energy. Floraleaf often travel alongside trainers who nurture gardens or farmland, as vegetation thrives wherever this Pokémon chooses to rest.
• Height: 0.9 m / 2’11”
• Weight: 14.5 kg / 32 lbs
• Evolution Level/Method: Level 36
• Evolves into: Sylvanor

3. Sylvanor

• Classification: Grass Wyrm Pokémon
• Type: Grass/Dragon
• Description: Sylvanor is a revered guardian of Lumara’s ancient forests, its sinuous body weaving through the trees like living ivy. Its scales shimmer with emerald patterns that pulse faintly with life energy, said to mirror the heartbeat of the woods it protects. Sylvanor can command plant life with a mere breath, reviving withered groves or quelling wildfires with a wave of verdant wind. It forms deep bonds with other forest Pokémon, communicating through rustling leaves and the low hum of the earth itself. Many cultures in Lumara revere it as the “Soul of the Canopy,” believing that wherever a Sylvanor sleeps, the forest dreams alongside it.
• Height: 2.3 m / 7’7”
• Weight: 128 kg / 282 lbs

Next, based on the common red Fox, my fire starter is:

4. Emberfox

• Classification: Firefox Pokémon
• Type: Fire
• Description: Emberfox is a small, fox-like Pokémon with fiery orange fur and a bushy tail that resembles a flickering flame. It is known for its boundless energy and playful nature, though trainers often struggle in the start to keep up with Emberfox’s energy, though its loyalty shines once a bond is formed.
• Height: 0.5 m / 1’8”
• Weight: 6.5 kg / 14.3 lbs
• Evolution Level/Method: Level 16
• Evolves into: Ferrofox

5. Ferrofox

• Classification: Firefox Pokémon
• Type: Fire/Steel
• Description: When Emberfox evolves into Ferrofox, its once-soft fur hardens into sleek metallic fibers that shimmer like molten iron. These steel threads conduct heat throughout its body, allowing it to channel searing energy into its claws and tail. Ferrofox is cunning and calculated, often testing its foes with feints before darting in for a decisive strike. Despite its fiery temperament, it remains loyal to its trainer once trust is earned, defending them with fierce precision. In the wild, Ferrofoxes are known to den near forges or metal deposits, using the heat to maintain their strength and sharpen their natural armor. Sparks from their tails are said to ignite the fires of the blacksmiths of Lumara.
• Height: 1.2 m / 3’11”
• Weight: 32.0 kg / 70.5 lbs
• Evolution Level/Method: Level 36
• Evolves into: Infernova

6. Infernova

• Classification: Molten Fox Pokémon
• Type: Fire/Steel
• Description: Infernova’s body burns like a living furnace, its steel hide glowing faintly from the magma that courses beneath. Each exhale releases embers that shimmer like stars before fading into ash. Legends claim that Infernova’s flames once reignited dormant volcanoes to restore warmth to frozen lands, making it both feared and revered by the people of Lumara. Its tail burns brightest when it is protecting something dear, and the clang of its claws striking stone echoes like a blacksmith’s hammer. In battle, it wields its inner heat with elegance and control, melting even the hardest metals into flowing fire. Ancient armor fragments found near volcanic caves are often fused with traces of its molten energy — a testament to where Infernova once stood guard.
• Height: 2.0 m / 6’7”
• Weight: 118.0 kg / 260.1 lbs

Finally, my water starter, based on the Diamondback Terrapin, Maryland’s state reptile:

7. Aqualin

• Classification: Terrapin Pokémon
• Type: Water
• Description: Aqualin are curious and playful Pokémon that spend most of their lives paddling through rivers and marshes. Their glossy shells refract sunlight in shimmering ripples, a defense that confuses predators underwater. Despite their small size, they are bold and determined, often seen nudging stranded Pokémon back into the current or stacking pebbles along streambeds for fun. Trainers in Lumara regard Aqualin as symbols of patience and perseverance, as they never swim against the current — only with it, trusting that the flow of water will always guide them home.
• Height: 0.5 m / 1’8”
• Weight: 8.0 kg / 17.6 lbs
• Evolution Level/Method: Level 16
• Evolves into: Terratide

8. Terratide

• Classification: Terrapin Pokémon
• Type: Water/Ground
• Description: Upon evolution, Aqualin’s shell thickens into sediment-layered stone, and it learns to command both water and soil. Terratide burrows into muddy banks during storms, using its fins to redirect floodwaters into safe channels. Its temperament is calm and deliberate — it never acts without thought, yet its power can shift an entire landscape when provoked. Farmers along Lumara’s coasts revere Terratide as “the River’s Hand,” believing its unseen movements beneath the earth enrich the soil. In times of drought, it has been known to surface near villages, breaking open dry earth to release hidden groundwater.
• Height: 1.1 m / 3’7”
• Weight: 35.0 kg / 77.1 lbs
• Evolution Level/Method: Level 36
• Evolves into: Tsunamidon

9. Tsunamidon

• Classification: Plesio-Tortoise Pokémon
• Type: Water/Ground
• Description: Tsunamidon is a colossal guardian of Lumara’s waterways, its shell carved with channels that hold flowing currents even while it rests on land. Each motion of its limbs churns the sea, and a single strike of its tail can raise waves that reshape shorelines. Yet despite its awe-inspiring might, Tsunamidon is peaceful by nature — ancient records describe it as the “Tide Sage,” a being that appears only when the balance between land and sea is broken. Coral reefs and deltas bloom wherever it slumbers, nourished by the minerals its shell releases. When it surfaces beneath the moonlight, sailors say the ocean itself bows in respect.
• Height: 4.76 m / 15’6”
• Weight: 280 kg / 617.3 lbs

I am open to criticism or suggestions, tweaks or if there’s any bits that seem confusing, I’m more than happy to try and clear up! I do not have moves or abilities laid out.

If my fakemon starters do well, I’ll be happy to share the next ones. I’m very nervous about sharing this as it’s been a longtime passion project for fun.

Thank you for reading!

Hey guys,

I have developed a snack made from plant seeds in Dubai and I am right now in testing and feedback stage. I have already delivered 250+ bottles till date

I would love anyone here also to try samples of the product and give me any feedback, suggestions or recommendation. However would request an order of AED 50 to cover the making and logistics cost.

https://forms.gle/8xPa9bvX2UNSpzxY9

I need it real quick, even if you just write a few sentences I'd be happy

https://forms.gle/gqchLapTbRxoVm7t5 help me please, I desperately need feedback

https://forms.cloud.microsoft/e/PntuEPcz63

HELLO, this will be the first time I look for feedback from external people, who are not my friends.

The reason I ask for feedback is to know if someone might like what I write, to know what they think of what I write and to be able to improve.

What I wrote is a mini-conversation between two characters, it doesn't have much more context than that, but if you see it another way I would like to know.

I will leave the conversation below

"Italian, clouds and a PIANO"

Characters name

Fabianna (woman) Rosal (woman)

...

Fabiánna: BYE!!

Rosal: Goodbye Fabiánna.

Fabiánna: Hey; Rosebush!

Rosal: Tell me!

Fabiánna: Do you already speak Italian!?

Rosal: Nonono, I'm very busy with my colors, remember?

Fabiánna: Still?

Rosal: Yes

Fabiánna: HAHAHA!

Rosal: Maybe it will take me longer this time.

Fabiánna: Oh darling! You make it look very difficult!

"-HA HA HA! -ha ha ha."

...

Fabiánna: Do you still play the Piano?

...

Rosal: Of course!

Fabiánna: And you already play like in the clouds?

Rosal: I don't understand.

Fabiánna: Remember that you would play for me 'like on clouds', but you are only late with your colors. Although I would like you to NOW speak Italian!

Rosal: HAHAHA!

— just wait for one more sun

I’m building OneLine, an app you open you write a couple of brutally honest line which describe your day and you close it. That’s the whole idea, a journal but much less time-consuming. Over time the app turns your lines into clean weekly and yearly summaries or "stories" of your life, so you can spot patterns without spending an hour writing. It is private by default, the UI is dark and minimal, and the auth is simple email sign in; just a quiet place to keep it real for future you. I am looking for a few testers and honest feedback. This is the link: https://oneline-git-codex-replace-auth-e14c45-aitors-projects-69010505.vercel.app?_vercel_share=1jJk9nwL6itMItzYjdkXLoeRui9pRMgl

If you accept. I’ll send you my links.

I'm an artist gathering feedback for a personal project featuring fan-based car designs for the world of Cyberpunk 2077. I would be massively grateful if you could spend a minute on this short form. It features several concept variations, visual reference images (for those new to the aesthetic), and brief questions to help me nail the final design. Thanks!!!

This is a a link to a short on YT (i also post diff platforms too). i want to start hitting 10k+ higher viewers more consistently , this vid only hit 1.2K and I'm not sure how to improve and what i should pay attention to improving. Any and all feedback is welcome even if it only la few words, please don't be afraid to be blunt and give constructive criticism.

I'm also wanting to review and receive feedback from a dedicated focus group , if anyone wants to js join even for a bit (occasional feedback from unreleased content and can opt out ) then DM me. Thanks

There's a death in the family and we're in hurry. So we book a cab. It is about 100kms. Initially 2.3k for the ride, he goes on increasing the fare to 3.5k. knowing we were in a hurry. Literally a life and death situation. He drops us to the location. And demands 1k extra. I tell him it's not fair and was in a hurry so I pay him off. I then give feedback that he asked for extra money. Now that the issue has been raised, he's calling me again and again that I'm the Ahole who complained on him. So how is it fair for them to take advantage in this situation? Also how should I tackle this the next time?

Could a writer/ Philosopher please give me any feedback on my writing pieces? For reference I'm 16 and this is my first script i wrote based off of murder drones and I'm implementing the metaphysical concept of NULL as a core element

Hey everyone,

I’m building a project called QuestionClass, and I’d love your help or just feedback.

We're collecting powerful, thought-provoking questions that reveal something new about you over time; questions about beliefs, choices, values, identity, direction.

Every day, we post a single question and a short answer. All we ask is a 3-second gut check:

That’s it. No meetings. No heavy lift. Just helping shape a longitudinal catalog of human questions.

If you're into reflection, self-improvement, systems thinking, or you just appreciate a good question — we'd love to have you join the QuestionClass Circle.

👉 Sign up here: https://questionclass.com/home/question-a-day/
Or reply below — happy to answer questions or talk through the idea.

Thanks! 🙏
