‘there’s no platonic explanation for this’

buddy you wouldn’t believe what kind of platonic explanations im capable of

I love how other Pokespe Chapters slowly ease into things and develop the characters before the main plot starts.

And then there’s the XY chapter that launches the characters straight into the action like

Replaying Pokemon XY makes me wanna revisit the Medieval Kalos AU I attempted a few years ago. I straight up imagined a whole-ass tale that's reminiscent of a DnD campaign but with Pokemon. Though it's less about a ragtag bunch of misfits going on an adventure and more about Serena and Calem having to escape Shabboneau Castle and head to the coast for plot reasons.

So yeah, I was definitely fantasizing about a Kalos-themed Pokemon Legends game before it was cool.

alternate even more comic accurate version

why do people always only expect you to have one thing. one disorder one pet one gender one pronouns one name one favorite movie one crush one best friend. like why do I have an inventory limit

if the damn things get to overlap then the happiness should too

Any borrower that chooses to live with the Addams for more than a week has to be cool enough to fit in with them anyway

Being hyper-secretive online is probably the only good kneejerk reaction boomers have put into our heads twenty years ago and now both them and the next generation look at you like you're a freak if you don't list your social security number in your carrd.

Comments about wanting Callum to be mean or bitchy to Rayla are so weird. You know... he wasn't even big levels of mean in season four and it still ate him up inside. He is not that kind of guy, character or boyfriend and I'm not fond of twisting up such a good example for partners and guys

I definitely remember seeing people really hammering home how 'ice cold' Callum was to Rayla, and it's like... he really, really wasn't? All things considered, he was mostly pretty mature (setting up a boundary that he's not ready to talk does read to me as "I'm angry and I don't want to yell at you" more than anything else, given that in the book 2 novelization one of the reasons he's upset upon seeing her after the Harrow thing comes out is "He didn't know if he could be nice to her right now") and only snarky a few times.

Even in their initial reunion, he's unable / unwilling to leave the room (to protect himself emotionally) because he sees her get disappointed for like 5 seconds, and then lets her stay/spend the night with him. The one time he pokes at her on purpose is in 4x04 (and shortly, intensely, watches if she's going to come along when Ezran asks for her to) and after the possession, he's not mean to her once. He awkwardly turns down her offer to accompany her in the Drakewood, but is also clearly mad at himself for feeling guilty > anything else and is mostly just sad.

Then in 4x06, he's worried when she's in distress, she's the one who pulls away from their almost hug first, and he steps in to stop her self loathing spiral (over abandoning someone no doubt) and reassures her consistently about Soren into 4x07. In 4x08 he happily gives her the moon opal, he runs to her when she draws Rex Igneous' ire, makes sure she's okay, comforts her over giving up her blades, makes sure to step away when Rex Igenous is irate with him, and he stays to the point of almost being crushed alive by rocks just to watch her leave even when he was the first to say that they needed to go.

Is he as openly affectionate with her in S4 as he is in S2-S3 or S5? No. It's a bit more of a return to form to the way they were in S1. But he still cares for, looks after, and loves her, and as OP said, not being able to do more / not being able to immediately forgive her clearly eats him up inside.

Rayla put him through emotional hell for like 730 days, give or take. Callum stops being mad at her about it like 2.5-3 days in maximum, which brings his record for staying mad at her up from 6ish hours.

When it comes to Ez and Rayla, he's not good at being mean long term, and he never has been (see all three prior seasons and TTM). S4 was never going to be an exception and even if he had been more overtly angry, it would've been because he was worried and scared for her. Period

The Scars We Leave Behind

Written by: @adjacentperception and @belethlegwen

What's left of a hero when everything is taken from him? What's left of a villain with no identity?

What's left of a man who has no choice but to save the symbol of a system he's fighting against?

Within a city constantly besieged by a super-power fueled war between Good vs Evil, a hero is captured by powerful villain and their secret organization and forced to play part in a twisting and enigmatic plan; to tear down the systems in place that keep the League of Heroes in an ultimate seat of power to rival the government itself. But… is the system as good as it projects itself to be? Are the villains and their henchmen really as evil as the media says? Is it truly as simple as tearing it down, or does that simply open up space for a new, worse system to enter?

Is the harm we do when we believe we're helping mitigated merely by our wishes to be better? To create something more? To fix what we believe is broken?

Do we hold blame for creating the evil we think we're fighting against, regardless of our intentions?
