I HAVE OFFICIALLY HAD THE NICEST HUMAN INTERACTION OF ALL TIME
ok sO. i work at a hotel at the front desk, and there’s a collection convention in town, so a bunch of vendors are staying with us since we’re right by the convention center. and one of the vendors was checking in the other day wearing a pokemon hat (specifically Ghastly) and i said i liked it and she said “oh we sell them! what’s your favorite pokémon, maybe we have one of them!” and i said like. probably not, my favorite is dugtrio because i think it’s just the dumbest little thing and the idea that a pokemon was so dumb that it’s evolution was just “fuck it there’s three of them” is super funny. (i also showed her that i keep a dugtrio card in my phone case for moral support.)
and then!! like a half hour or so later! her partner comes to the front desk and just!! hands me a dugtrio sticker like it’s a drug deal and goes “this is for you” like!! that’s so sweet!!! nothing else to the interaction they just wanted to give me a little sticker!!!
and i thought that was the end of it but then they came by the other day and asked what my favorite was again because they were opening decks, and i said i love diglett and dugtrio, and she basically said alright and walked away. and then TODAY, i come into work and my coworkers handed me an envelope with two diglett cards in it. and i just. god humans can be so nice sometimes. like these people were selling at a convention and were opening card packs and got a few they didn’t want and instead of just putting them in a box somewhere they thought hey. that kid at the front desk might want these. didn’t leave a card or a name, wasn’t trying to get me to buy their stuff. just wanted to make a stranger smile, and went out of their way to do that.
i know the world sucks sometimes but these are the moments i remember that i really do love people. i can be pretty nihilistic but i think that the things that give me the most hope are the little ways most people are always thinking about the people around them, and i think we’ll be okay if we just nurture that sort of kindness.
anyways. i hope you enjoy my waxing poetic about diglett cards.

If the other half of my favorite 💚🐢 cartoon series’ voice actors are going to be at NY Comic Con next weekend, I’m going to be extremely disappointed that I hadn’t planned for the event early on in the year. I’m still bummed out about that last minute Life Adulting Crap got in the way of my last year’s Friday plans to AnimeNYC, and I ironically dodged the Omicron outbreak bullet. It’s getting harder for me to mentally prepare to step outside my niche since the pandemic kept everyone indoors. I haven’t forgotten those grueling failures when I missed getting Bryce Papenbrook’s autograph in 2018 and last year. So I can’t be sure if a Vox Machina panel will also make me miss my long awaited desire after June 2006.
