Maybe it’s nostalgia, which I realize is the enemy of progress or whatever.
But I feel like the 90’s were in so much better of a position than now.
The 90’s were wildly sexist, transphobic, homophobic, racist, antisemitic, etc. etc.
But it FELT like we were pointed in the right direction. Like we were building in the right direction. Like on the horizon was a better world.
It was FAR from perfect for a lot of people. I do not want to go back. But I want back on the path we were on. Just further along the way.
watching 20 year old tv shows is all fun and games until you realize how far we’ve backslid on certain social issues

so, Clark Kent. it's been a day, it's past midnight and i'm thinking about Clark fucking Kent. because here's the thing - i really, really like him. he is so incredibly sweet. i mean, most definitely imperfect, but always trying his best. he is genuinely a good, earnest person, to the point where i feel like i would enjoy being friends with him irl. wouldn't mind a hookup either - or, actually, if i'm being honest, i want to kiss him tenderly on a rooftop at sunset
and that's a normal sort of thoughts to be having, of course (again, this is Clark Kent) - except Clark Kent is nothing like my usual type at all. the characters i normally fall in love with are all unhinged, petty, often violent little freaks. they've all got a mean streak. their moral compass is either insane or nonexistent, they take everything personally and not enough seriously, they oscillate between cruelty and obsessive attachments (which they also simultaneously resent), expressing affection and then lashing out because they scared themselves. that specific type of gremlin shit is like pure fucking crack to me, usually, so what the fuck is it about Clark Kent -
at which point it occurs to me: that is a Bruce Wayne-ass train of thought to be having. this is how Superman fucking gets you, and he got me, too, that motherfucker

Treasures of Ruin Headcanons
It is not uncommon to find stone figures of Ting-Lu marking settlements in northern Paldea. In ancient times, the custom was to put coins in the domed vessel atop its head, typically whenever one arrived or departed the village. The reasoning is not well understood. Some scholars believe they were merely respectful offerings. Others speculate that the coins were intended to weigh Ting-Lu's head down, to prevent it from escaping its shrine and ravaging the earth.
Paldea is home to a proverb, often translated as 'melt the sand and leave nowhere to stand'. It cautions against the ruinous effects of jealousy or envy, and likely traces back to Chi-Yu's origins. Both in Paldea and its surrounding regions, envy is associated with fire and heat.
It is commonly believed that flowers and fruit trees do not grow in the woods surrounding Grasswither Shrine, but this is not true. As any local will tell you, the fruit grows quickly, but rots quicker still. Wild pokémon do not eat it.
Paldean fables warn children against walking alone in heavy snow. If they see a snowman, they must ignore it - especially if it seems to be waving at them. Chien-Pao is the most playful of the Treasures of Ruin; while your eyes fix on the snow figure, you may miss the sheet of ice descending from above.
The exact nature of the Treasures of Ruin is poorly understood in modern Paldea. While their existence is accepted, there is dispute over the extent of their abilities and the level of destruction attributed to them. Some academics argue that they were only symbols of the bloodshed and environmental discord under the ancient monarch's rule, later elevated to legends via oral storytelling. However, more recent research supports the Treasures' historic reputation. A newly-published geological analysis of Grasswither Shrine detected elevated levels of heavy metals in the soil, with no clear source but the shrine itself.
Ornamental metal vessels, often known as 'worry bowls', are found in many houses across Paldea. They are a common gift for children, who are told to write their fears down on scraps of paper and put them in the vessel to be rid of them. Some believe that these bowls are styled after the vessel on Ting-Lu's head. The protective nature of the bowls is at odds with Ting-Lu's generally negative reputation, which may suggest that the Treasures were not always a symbol of evil in Paldean culture.
In old Paldean writings, frostbite is often referred to as 'sword touch' or the 'bite of the cat', thought to be physical evidence of Chien-Pao's ruin on the body. Even in modern Paldea, children are encouraged to wrap up warmly against the cold, lest 'the cat nip their nose'.

You wouldn't happen to be doing any more monster AU designs for the new merch designs would you 👁👁
(Ngl I am specifically hoping for Graves-)
Also CONGRATS on such an INCREDIBLE launch tho!!! I'm a lil bummed I missed out but I can't wait for pre-orders!! (Well, I guess I can wait lol but you get the idea)
thank you so much for your enthusiasm anon!! my current plans are to make another ghostsoap standee, as well as another konig charm for the slasher au charm set. I also want to make a couple more "subtle" designs to match the subtle ghostsoap charm. And then I want to convert a few charm ideas into sticker sheets, since people have been asking for them! As of right now, more monster au charms aren't super high priority, but I'm definitely keeping them in mind for the next pre-order after this upcoming one.
I'm about to go to a convention like in a few days, so I'll be walking around and hopefully getting some inspiration on what else I'd like to make...physical media is SUCH a trip dude

Call me homophobic, but I don't actually think it's great representation to stick a complex, dynamic, newly-realized bisexual character permanently with a flat, boring, underdeveloped love interest just because that was the first guy who showed interest.
