I have a student who is obsessed with Smoliv. I gave him a Smoliv tteebusil from my stash maybe 2 months ago, his mom still calls weekly to send me coffee/tea or snacks and he hasnt stopped talking about it. Sharing “worthless” pokemon merch with my students has changed my classroom environment. I’ve never been given more slightly bent and deeply loved pokemon cards in my life, they go home and dig through their stuff finding ones I love, because that’s what this is about. Not about your 45k USD charizard holo ar irs whatever. I keep stacks in my drawer, even the shy kids come up in quiet moments. Whispering for a card or a sticker, telling me their favorite. Everyone is talking, and the best part? The kids who don���t like Pokemon, they are talking to me, telling me what THEY LIKE.

My friend up in Seoul, his kids have been hand drawings Pokemon cards for him; those are priceless. The joy really is in the fact that everyone has a favorite and sometimes its Smoliv.

I’ve been a teacher for 13 years. I’ve tried many things. This happened organically.

I made a drawing of Orange Island Vileplume while my fiancé was telling me about his day over video call. My bedsheets are full of watercolor pencil markings now.

She is so beautiful. And to think she was inside a 1000won booster pack in a convenience store next to the biscoff kitkats.

May all pokemon cards drop value and be valued at 00.20c each forever and ever from now on so we can enjoy the hobby again amen.

the logical thing to do is to check if I’ve accidentally let any doubles slip into my hoard of Pokemon cards, yes. Clear all the tables; we have thousands of tiny pictures to look at like a museum archivists of zero value Pokemon cards.

[on the verge of having a complete breakdown] i need to make some kind of list or perhaps sort things into categories
