The sillies :3

[sleeping-realist-waking-dreamer]

currently sad abt how paldea just has No culture

long post ahead i rambled longer than i expected

like ive been replaying gen 7 and like. the regional identity and theme is so strong??? the island deitys, the overhauling of traditional progression, the clear messages of friendship and family, kindness, nature, etc. and even between different towns, theres the tourist downtown strip, malie which has been built by those who immigrated from Johto, fuckin PO TOWN. but dont even get me STARTED on how powerful team skull is, being hoodlums of teens forgotten and ignored by the world now rejecting the island challenge and everything it stands for in pursuit of finding their own family with the other team skull members.

what does paldea have. they all need cyclizars to get around this obscenely way too large map or taxi money to go in a cab lofted by parrots because theres seemingly no other ways to get around. also the citys are based off those in spain and like. they type of gym leader there but ultimately have next to no individual flavor. nobody talks to you about the towns or world, the overarching theme of the game is "treasure" which is already dumb but also barely feels present beyond everything you do, the "evil" team is interesting but ultimately a self contained plot point that basically only hinges around the school, noone talks about team star outside of their specific scenes or the intro sequence. theres no god tier legendaries the people respect and look up to, nobody talks about the world at best people talk about that rich school thats so important for Some Reason and yet we still know so little concretely about it and. ARGH.

this game has such good plots and stories but ultimately despite supposedly being open world, the world doesn't EXIST. the people here dont have any serious beliefs or culture, they just talk about battles and sandwiches i guess.

Like, compare this to Every other game in the series. Kanto was. kanto. but like, even then lavender town and some other locations give more character to the graveyardless (DESPITE HAVING A GRAVESTONE POKEMON) Paldea. even while less cohesive, Johto is astonishingly rich even this early on, Hoenn has connection between people and Pokemon, sinnoh has. so much i love sinnoh even tho its a bit weaker imo but still has belief in good versus nihilism with Cyrus, with several towns having their own flavors, unova was unova yall already know its better, gen 6 region name even bests paldea with having beauty of life as a theme, alola i talked about, galar i never played nor got invested in but i feel like its better than PALDEA.

i say this as someone with 200+ hours in this game. i hate how little real identity it has. the fact that this main entry thats actually proud of itself is better than xy-KALOS IT'S KALOS. the fact that this does better than goddamn kalos in generation six, year of the "we got scared of regional identity and were dealing with a lot right now, we put gen 1 in here to appeal to the genwunners pls enjoy and buy game. also we're too scared to even do a pokemon Z. please dont pay attention to anything new this game brought to the series pllllssss" is ASTONISHING. FOR A SUPPOSED OPEN WORLD GAME!

and NO! scarlet and violet are not "open world" games. Theres no world to explore, theres no extra things you Get for exploring, theres nothing to see that doesn't look like Plastic, there is still an intended progression order you need to follow to even have a shot at enjoying the battles, theres no extra stories you get for exploring, no extra cities, noone who talks about anything interesting, nothing. The world exists only as a map you use your sandwich dragon to get across. Which, it's UNNECESSARILY MASSIVE. there is NO reason for the map to be this large.

BECAUSE THERE'S NO CULTURE OR IDENTITY THE OPEN WORLD FEELING SUFFERS. you dont get anything for going out of your way and exploring the world at hand, you just get like, scattered XP candies and berries or an HM or two. a couple trainer battles with generic dialogue. In a good open world, there are sidequests in various locations, that give you something about the world and offer a unique task. A random trainer at the bottom of a cliff is charming but... Why cant we help???!

Also, I'm not talking about DLC. Glimmerazzi, ogre ousting, the absolute dogshit BBQ situation are all interesting but I'm not paying Another 30$ for a finished game and also most of that has nothing to Do with paldea so cope. I will say though that the base game needed more glimmerazzi or perrin's pokemon snap quest. Like, being given the opportunity to do something that doesn't tie back in the story, just being there to do aside from the story.

anyways this post is a mess im so aurgh about this game ok. i love it and i want to see it be better. i keep trying to think about the characters in the world itself but paldea just has. Nothing!!! there's nothing we learn about them and it's so frustrating bc i Want to see that!!! and yet there's just. Nothing.

We’ll just… ignore the fact I haven’t introduced the Sgt. Frog Sona yet- I referred to Dororo irl with the nickname down below (without even thinking), and I’d like to imagine he’d be… very sentimental about it 👉👈

Luckily for you, I cut the 5-minute rant Narrator had about how “violets are barely even blue so the nickname doesn’t make sense” and blah blah blah ✋🙄

and you're questioning agerespec...

where's the caretaker?!?!

[liz-allyn]

I’m suing your fair motional damage is Maam. This is not fair. This is not fair. Okay I’ve just finished reading these violent delights and let me tell you. I have something to say about it. Which means that I have nothing and no one is to describe what I feel at all zero zilch, nada no words you have softened or maybe ruined my cold black heart with the ending of this fic

It’s probably my favourite ending of yours in any story so far and it’s just so delightful I was expecting to come out of this frying I came out of it proud and smiling ( make of that what you will) is this what led you to write sugar and vice because I went ahead and read your hc for the next part and I would shit myself if you ever decided to write that this was horrifying terrifying and cruelly beautiful the scene by the steps with Felicia him feeling regret and shame over marrying her her cutting is tongue out ?!?!!? Gwen’s mentions it was so brillant I wanna pick apart your Brain in that fucked yo way that scientist did after Einstein died

much love take care don’t stay up till 3 it sucks

🌌

Omg yessssss I’m glad you liked it! This one is pretty unhinged. Quite a sinful piece, but I’m actually incredibly proud of it. I love making good villains, by literally making them someone I would despise. I think what was really fun about These Violet Delights is that I felt like I could easily reimagine a villain with kilgrave’s power but not exactly the way David Tennant’s version played out.

Tw dark stuff under the cut

DT’s Kilgrave was fantastic. He’s a sociopathic, manipulative, controlling stalker who confuses love with r**e. I think he was also a really good representation of a villain in the “me too” era.

For some reason I kept imagining Jesse Eisenberg as a good Kilgrave (I guess maybe his Lex Luthor had an effect, and my decade-long infatuation with TSN/Markduardo).

Basically, I saw him as the textbook definition of an (inc*l), particularly focusing on character traits like resentment, misogyny, misplaced self-pity, racism, a sense of entitlement to sex, and the endorsement of violence against women and sexually active people. Picturing someone like Kilgrave, who can literally get anything he wants by asking for it, being resentful of Peter’s fortune — looks, wealth, the women around him— is just textbook narcissism. It was a fun character to think about and lean into when writing. And I wanted his death to be poetic justice.

Thank you for telling me what you thought! I’m glad you liked it!

Does it ever rain on Gallifrey?

Gallifreyan Rain

It absolutely does rain on Gallifrey, but not in the way you might expect.

Before getting too into this, I should make clear that Time Lords have a penchant for controlling their environment, using technology to dictate when and how it rains. This is so they can tailor it for specific needs, like for agriculture or maybe aesthetic purposes. Got it? Good. Now we can be way more interesting 😃

Why Does It Always Rain On Me?

🌌 Celestial Influence: Gallifrey's weather is significantly influenced by its two moons, which could dramatically impact rain. Depending on the moons' positions, this could lead to unexpected erratic downpours or uniquely modulated rainfall, from feeling like you're being hit by feathers to feeling like someone's dropping large rocks on you.

✨ Shiny Sky: The planet's atmosphere is particularly colourful with burnt orange/cerulean hues/violet clouds, setting the canvas for rain like you've never seen it before. Think of rainfall in luminous colours and patterns, painting the sky in purple, green, and yellow hues, a bit like the Aurora Borealis.

💧 Unique Precipitation: Due to Gallifrey's atmospheric composition, the rain on Gallifrey is very different from what humans are used to on Earth. It might carry the sweet taste of the planet's streams or contain metallic or crystalline particles. Legends speak of visions induced by hallucinogenic snow near Mount Cadon, so who's to say rain on Gallifrey doesn't carry its own set of OTHER mystical properties?

🌍 Regional Diversity: Rainfall experience on Gallifrey varies significantly across different regions, from torrential rains in equatorial zones to sparse showers in mountainous and arid areas. The planet's drylands, marshlands, small ice caps, and occasional blizzards in the south paint a more complex climate where rain would play an integral yet varied role in the ecosystem.

Hope that helped! 😃
