Getting all the sages in TOTK

so tired, lay me to rest

This guy raised an abandoned moose calf with his Horses, and believe it or not, he has trained it for lumber removal and other hauling tasks. Given the 2,000 pounds of robust muscle, and the splayed, grippy hooves, he claims it is the best work animal he has. He says the secret to keeping the moose around is a sweet salt lick, although, during the rut he disappears for a couple of weeks, but always comes home…. Impressive !! MINNESOTA CLYDESDALE

why are moose so terrifyingly large

Because they’re pretty much legit surviving Ice Age megafauna and almost everything was bigger back then

his moose leaves for a few weeks to Fuck

And comes back because he figures he has a pretty sweet deal.  Oats, salt, probably some treats and scratches, for the price of some basic pulling and advanced not murdering fools?

Sometimes I think people give themselves too much credit for animal domestication.  Sometimes the main character of the domestication story is some terrifying beast who reasons, “But salt though.”

they crave etc etc

Wasn't there a king whose man kept dying trying to build a moose calvary? Imagine if this guy was around back then, our maps would probably look a lot different today...

Federal troops were called against 13,000 miners.Three battles that led to the biggest armed insurrection since the Civil War. 

 Ask yourself why you were never taught this in school. 

Although there were planes used against the miners in the Battle of Blair Mountain, it is not true that this was the first time planes were used to drop bombs on American soil against Americans. 

The Battle of Blair Mountain took place in August and September of 1921. Just a few months prior to that, on May 31 and June 1, planes were also used to help destroy the Greenwood district of Tulsa, Oklahoma, a prosperous black neighborhood nicknamed The Black Wall Street. At least 39 people died during the event, which is known as the Tulsa Race Massacre. Hundreds were wounded, and 6,000 black people lost their homes. 

Both of these events were hugely important moments in American history. 

Ask yourself why neither was taught to you in school. Also ask your local school board.

Not one of the 7 deadly sins, but a secret 8th sin

Fucking Christ.

IF ONLY SOMEONE COULD HAVE FORESEEN THIS.

This scene has fascinated me ever since I was a kid. I mean, if you think about it, Meowth didn’t really learn “Humanspeak,” at least not the way we normally think about learning a language. He was already perfectly capable of understanding it (even if there were a couple words here and there he wasn’t familiar with, like “seashell” or “rocket”). And that seems to be a common thing across all Pokemon–just look at how baby Pokemon can start taking orders from their trainers from the moment they hatch.

So his problem wasn’t learning what the human words meant. It was learning how to pronounce them. And judging by the seasons changing outside the window during his learning-to-talk montage, it took him at least a year to say his first words. But once he does–once he makes it through that tongue twister for the first time–it’s like a switch is flipped and he instantly becomes fluent. In those last couple gifs you can already see him casually throwing around “huh” and “hey,” and by the next scene he’s stringing together sentences.

What does all this mean? Is pronunciation the only barrier keeping Pokemon from talking? Could any Pokemon do what Meowth did as long as they were as ridiculously stubborn hardworking as he was? Or are most Pokemon physically incapable of saying anything but their names? If so, what makes Meowth unique?

…We’ll probably never know, but it’s fun to think about.

I think it is important to note that Meowth has directly stated that learning to speak meant he could no longer learn new moves. That’s why he doesn’t just learn Pay Day to impress Meowsie, or to save Jessie and James from a life of abject poverty. He cannot learn any new moves at all. IIRC, he can’t evolve either. So while it may be possible that any Pokémon could learn to speak the way Meowth did, it would not occur to most of them to do so because they’d be sacrificing their ability to learn new ways to defend themselves. Battling is an important part of Pokémon culture (isn’t that weird - that Pokémon have a culture?), both for hunting/self-defense and for friendly competition. It would be like a hedgehog giving up its ability to roll up into a ball in order to sing choir - it’d be pointless. So it’s not the ability to speak that makes Meowth unique, it’s the dedication to such an odd decision that does.

Imagine being buried alive and then seeing this little guy with a backpack suddenly arrive

It gets better. The little backpack has a two-way radio.

So you’re trapped under rubble, and then a rat shows up. Flicks a switch on its little tumtum. And starts talking to you.

The Rescuers live action adaptation looks good as hell actually

Guys i finally got the Leon keychain i was trying so hard to get him!
