Holy shit y'all my dad might've become a Byler truther tonight!! He always just pokes fun at me and makes jokes about Byler, thinking I'm just reading too much into it, but when the Mike and El fight came on during my re-watch today he was lost for words.

He thought I was exaggerating Mike's queerness and the lack of chemistry between Mike and El, but my dad was genuinely at a loss when El said "You never say it" and "you can't even write it, Mike" and then proceeded to read through all of the "From Mike" letters. My dad usually says "no he's not" about Mike being gay and "no they won't" about Byler, but he just gave me a look and said, "I guess everything will be revealed in season 5." AHHHHHHHHH

I know whenever people rave about Pokemon's sprite era, it's usually about gens 4 or 5 (for good reason!), but maaaan does gen 2 have such a distinct visual identity that I adore, and I think a large part of that is how creative they get around their limitations

Like! Look at Typhlosion's Crystal sprite! See how many colors it has? There's yellow, there's red, there's black, white... and that's it! Most if not all sprites operate under a four color palette - and since they all have black and white, that means each sprite only really has two unique colors to work with. And man, MAN do they work with them so well. Look at how the reds aren't just part of the fire, they're used to highlight Typhlosion's fur, to give it the illusion of depth. See how the yellows scatter into the flames, how the whites of the legs spread out where the highlights bleed away?

And look at Skarmory! The reds aren't just part of the wings, they're the outline of the eyes that make the sclera look more yellow than white (and I had to color pick to be sure! that's how effective color palettes can be, when it allows your eyes to 'fill in the gaps'). Most of the metallic shine comes just from how the purple and the white are applied- they made this bird METALLIC. on a GAME BOY COLOR. with TWO COLORS

Staryu's shading is complex by design (shining gemstone center, geometric star shape where the light source hits the faces differently), but look how the face-covering-thing around the gem is lighter than the rest of its starfish body. They both use the exact same shade of brown, but one part uses it as shading and the other uses it as its base! And the reds?? Not just how the gem can look so shiny, but it's used so well to complement the outline!

And look at Jumpluff! It's body is mostly a flat blue, but it helps accentuate the detail on its cotton puffs. Look at how scattered the yellows are, how specks of blue will poke out, making each puff look... well, puffy!

I had to size them up for readability in this post, but these sprites are only 56 x 56 pixels. That's so tiny!! And yet they're able to convey such key details for such a tiny game system, all while using such cozy color palettes!

gen 2's era of art design you will always be the moment of all time to me <333

As mentioned in the previous post, i have lost my entire mind

i just wanna point out that when she was trying to off herself in act 3, she most likely kept trying every single time because she thought he was a hallucination

she already hallucinated him once (don’t remember the episode, but you can hear his voice saying ‘jinx’ when she finds out isha is in stillwater)

she hasn’t seen him since the bridge scene (s01e07) when she set off a bomb, intending to off both him and herself (which she did because she was content with her last moments being with him but we won’t get into that rn)

so when ekko said that about blowing ‘us’ up, she likely realized if he was real, she would kill him if she set off the bomb

which is why she settled for jumping. hi. i hope everyone is as miserable as i am rn

also do you think ekko thought of alternate universe powder when he saw her with short hair

Learning that Jason was Red Robin first (during Countdown to Final Crisis) and that Tim actually stole that name and costume has made my entire week. Honest to god Tim Drake is the funniest character of all time. Imagine getting your ass beat for stealing from a guy and then doing it again anyway, top-tier character choice. I think he should take Red Hood next.
