JOHTO KIDS ARE HERE and man does lyra look like an impish little forest fairy next to the modern streetwear clad folk

these are some friendship duos i rly like!

i'm literally obsessed with how gold/ethan is the only one to have no in-game smiling sprites in both gsc AND hgss. like we have silver smirking in both the ogs and the remakes and kris's trainer card sprite is of her smiling and lyra's trainer card sprite and her pokéathlon sprite both have her smiling but like. ethan has NO smiling sprites whatsoever. like look at this

the hgss opening has him smiling and the official art has him smirking (gsc) and smiling (hgss) but in-game? this bitch is stone cold serious the whole time apparently. who pissed you off little man

you know the starter cutscene in sumo? the “you lifted [starter] gently in your arms” scene? it’s the best thing ever. so i was like, ok, now with my favorite starter in my favorite game.

here’s an original definition, gameboy screen is tiny:

[ if you like my art, please consider buying me a coffee! ]

pokespe sketch dump! i think you can tell who my favorites are

@chaotic-rowan-marvel stop abandoning your kids. take responsibility for your actions. c is the child you brought into the world. step up and be a better parental unit. Alice taught you better than this. with great keyboards comes great parental responsibility.

 C was a typo. C will be given to a loving family don’t you worry about it. C will have a great life, but that life is not with me. /j

i dont get offended at white people jokes even though im white because: 

my white friends that have reblogged this give me life

4. Sometimes I am a shitty white person and the jokes remind me to FUCKIN STOP

If ur white and like this post I fux with u

^absolutely

5. It’s hard to be offended when white people jokes involve bland food/tourist dads in socks and sandals/white girls in yoga pants obsessed with pumpkin spice/suburban PTA moms and other harmless and mostly true stereotypes while jokes about POC involve them being called thugs/criminals/slurs/uneducated/illegal immigrants.

i fucks with u heavy if ur white and you reblog this

6. They’re usually really fucking funny and don’t perpetuate stereotypes that will ever affect me economically, politically, or cause me any true harm, let alone create risks that “justify” my murder and/or death

Waits for my white mutuals to reblog😌

yesyesyesyes

White People Jokes are fucking hilarious and so benign it’s impossible for me not to laugh at them

jokes about poc are often racist, rude, and derogatory and implement stereotypes to the nines

Honestly as a white person I find white people jokes very funny

7. White people jokes are really fucking accurate. And I don’t get offended if something is true.

Can fandom bring back the concept of a squick?

No for real in 2k15

Can fandom bring back the concept of a squick

A “squick” was a trope or topic that made the reader deeply uncomfortable, even might cause anxiety or intense emotional reactions

Everyone’s squicks were personal and diverse, and it was considered polite to say, “sorry I can’t read this because it squicks me, but you have fun in your corner doing what you doing”

Can we bring that back and reserve “trigger” for MI people who mean “if I see this I will have flashbacks and dissociate for hours”

I wasn’t aware this concept had fallen out of fandom.  Seriously, bring it back, it’s useful as hell.

Key to the concept of “squick,” as it was first explained to me lo these many years ago, is that it is not a value judgment.  If I say “mpreg is gross,” that’s a negative statement about mpreg (and, by extension, about those who enjoy writing or reading about it).  If I say “mpreg squicks me,” that’s a value-neutral statement about me and my emotional reactions and how they affect my enjoyment of fiction.

And, as OP says, it does not carry the implications of intensity or trauma that “trigger” does.  (Although I will point out that a trigger doesn’t have to cause flashbacks or dissociation.  There are people a lot better qualified than I am to talk about that.)

Yes, yes, yes please to all of this!

squick: Something that makes you go “ewwww” and wish you had never seen/read it. Something that makes you deeply uncomfortable. Something you’re not interested in reading/seeing/thinking about, ever.

trigger: Something that you associate with/reminds you of a past trauma (mental, emotional, or physical) and therefore triggers your personal reaction to trauma (be it flashbacks, panic/anxiety attacks, unhealthy behaviours, a crying jag, whatever).

Please, please, please don’t use them interchangeably.

I may have reblogged this before but it’s worth doing again: such a useful concept. 

My freddy blog was All asbout this concept.

I had no idea there was even a word for it?

What if it bites me and it dies?

that means you’re poisonous. jesus christ, nate, learn to read.

What if it bites itself and I die?

It’s voodoo.

What if it bites me and someone else dies?

That’s correlation, not causation.

what if we bite each other and neither of us die

that’s kinky

oh my god

this is still my favorite text post collaboration ever

I haven’t seen this post in like 3 years

OoooOOOOO

really love imagining a bunch a kids and teens on their pokemon journeys staying the night on the couches and floors in the lobbies of pokemon centers, having long talks about their experiences and feelings sharing funny and scary stories and myths about legendaries and trading items and sharing TMs along with sugary snacks and pokedex chargers all while their pokemon are out of their pokeballs and all bundled up in blankets sleeping soundly next to their trainers while they stare up at the stars shining through the glass ceiling over their heads

#this is what pokemon’s all about

#this is…so nice

I just…really like this idea man. So I drew a thing.

A single tear

Aaaa!!
