tbh i don’t know if they’ll ever top ogerpon. first they start by hyping up The Ogre as this terrifying monster in the lore. then you get the stark contrast of the real ogre being a tiny leaf creature looking like (☆w☆). then add on it having a sad backstory. then add on it having at least three confirmed kills. then add on it being the subject of a custody battle following our divorce. then add on it being canonically a girl. no one else is doing it like her

fuck “will-they-won’t-they”, it’s outdated and overrated. the most recent, best dynamic there needs to be more of is “we-want-them-to-but-they-never-will-because-of-the-plot”

I wanted to say that outside of semantics and divisions - I am simply happy to find communities that welcome with kindness - that welcome you by a good heart and not the ability to conform. I am happy for the opportunity to be surrounded by people who care.
It's a funny world we live in - making the same mistakes over and over, multiplying the same suffering by billions. I don't think I hope for an utopia anymore, I don't think such a thing exists - but you can't call me hopeless either. And that's what matters.
As a side note - this piece is set in DanceAU, which might be better known to Patrons so far, but still it was the best and most fitting option for this occasion..... also there are 12 DanceAU pieces incoming, because I might be making another calendar so. get familiar with these mutts

i think the reason why im so drawn to spirit tracks and pkmn scarvi is that having the legendary/princess as a companion rather than a goal that marks the games completion makes me feel satisfied the way i would after helping a friend
my brother always teases me about how I still havent finished botw after almost 7 years bc "id rather be out picking flowers" which i wont say is untrue. and yes i know Zeldas been holding off ganon for 100 years, yes i can get some sort of idea what her relationship with link was like by recalling memories and going through her diary. ive always loved botw for its unique storytelling and setting which makes it stand out, because it lets you get to know who you're saving.
but because theyre memories, it only works if theres something for the player to investigate that already happened. its retroactive (but effective nonetheless)
on the other hand, spirit tracks does something similar but instead of having the player try to piece together memories and interpret them as a spectator, you actually have an opportunity to get to know zelda yourself by talking to her and working together. besides making it a gameplay mechanic, giving the player control over how they interact with zelda makes it so much more personable.
and I find that making the goal feel personal instead of an obligation gives me more of a reason to work towards it. I know what kind of person botw zelda was but as the player, shes still very much a stranger to me. but spirit tracks zelda? thats my friend!!!! she invited me to go to the beach after we get her body back!!! i dont want to whip her to make her move faster thats mean :(
you know how hostage negotiators are trained to introduce themselves and get to know the person theyre negotiating with because its harder to hurt someone when you know what their favorite food is? its kinda like that, because it feels like im helping a friend than being told or led to do smth
and although i havent played scarvi myself, i feel an attachment to koraidon and miraidon even just watching playthrough clips because its like!! thats my weird scaly dog!! it loves sandwiches and we're friends!!! you know!!!!!!

I had a realization while playing the new Pokemon DLC
These are pictures of the areas surrounding the four shrines containing the ruinous quartet, and now that I'm looking for it, I can see evidence of each one on the local environment.
>Chi-Yu's shrine is surrounded by massive spires of blasted obsidian sprouting from solid rock
>Chien-Pao's shrine is surrounded by striations and gouge marks in the mountainside that're highly reminiscent of glacial retreat marks and ice-erosion
>Wo-Chien's shrine is at the bottom of a massive basin filled with irregular, atypical lakes and ponds, that look to have been gouged out of the ground itself
>Ting-Lu's shrine is underneath a massive rock formation sitting in the middle of a lowland plain - a rock formation with no natural plantlife, and totally disconnected from the natural mountains of Paldea
Like holy shit, the name "Ruinous Quartet" is not an exaggeration! I would fully believe these four pokemon alone were enough to cause an extinction event in Paldea's past, we can still see the catastrophic effects of their power!

It's been *checks notes* five years since voltron ended, but one question still plagues me to this day:
Why the fuck didn't we give Keith and Matt the ship name Meth?!?

Cause they are wingmen.... get it? Because of wings of Voltron???
Anyway it's what friends are for - when you don't have the guts to explain the idea of engagement and marriage and are too shy about it, your buddy got your back. To completely mortify you before you even have a chance to get drunk.
