Please describe your dream date with your F/O! Go as deeply into detail as you'd like!!
Thanks for the ask Anon! Lemme give you your return gift first... What do you think your F/O's favourite colour is, and why?
A dream date... man, I have a lot of ideas. This valentines day, Aesop and I are going to take a walk to a small park near by, where you can see the sunset. I was thinking of taking some snacks, but we could also just bring a meal, since the sun sets later over here. And then we are going to go home and cuddle while watching movies! Aesop has the job of picking one, this time.
It doesn't sound very exciting, but it's nice and comfortable :D

Alright, I will be honest:
I don't like Black&White saga cause it feels like flopoed retcon/reboot of pokeanime. Like, in the beginning it cut ties to previous sagas and regions. Like, after whole THE BUILD UP in Sinnoh, it felt like Ash got robbed. Also doesn't help that in beginning they isolated Unova pokemon from previous generations. And the thing is, is that 5 gen pokemon design already stylistically different from previous ones: more round, simplified.
Also, it didn't help that relationship with rivals are less close and tense than in Diamond&Pearl. Like, all other characters beside main trio feels shallow and caricatures. In Sinnoh, both Ash and Dawn learned something from their rivals, Paul and Zoe were REALLY IMPACTFUL to them. But when we compare Iris and Dragon huntress (yes, I don't even remember her name)... That's basic. Like, Iris's rival surved as plot tool few times at best.
But second part of saga is better (*cough - cough * cause Cynthia and Dawn came back *cough- cough*) : old pokemon are back, we see mythical pokemon in action. Also, I enjoyed Decolora arc!
Good points of BW:
I like Cylan and Iris. For Iris in particular... She feels like Misty's other version, but in a good way. I also like her story arcs with her team, like damn, homegirl got her own Suicide squad in pokeworld 😂.
Also, there's Team R... One one hand, it's was hard for me to see them drop comedy tone. On another hand, they demonstrated us how much dangerous they can be! Like, they got their business! Our trio was more menacing than whole Team Plazma, honestly 😅.
All in all, my main issue is that Black and White drop most of connections with Diamond and Pearl. Like, transition was too DRASTIC. But I do understand, that there ate people who adores 5 gen. I mean, I heard that 5 gen games was top tier. It's just, unfortunately, I stsrted to dwell into pokemon games since 6 gen, so I was unable to even play Black and White. Maybe in that case I watched anime in different context.
Also, I really like movies in that saga! Like Keldeo and Mewtwo (or Newtwo ( if you know you know)) put everything in their movies, and Victini's one with TWO DIFFERENT VERSIONS was low-key something in cinematic universe level.
... That was looong ask, but I really need that out of my chest 😅
Nah, dont worry, go and vent its the first step to overcoming trauma
lol I joke but seriously, if everyone sat down to understand what they dislike and like about a season like that, things would be so much simpler :v
BW is totally an attempt to a soft reboot! But there's one thing I feel folks often forget: The games themselves were that too!!
The lack of pokemon pre gen 5 was something that came from the games, as unova was the first region outside of Japan. Pokemon company was trying to start anew from all sides and that ended up affecting the anime the most because for some reason, it was decided that they would star anew, but keep a familiar face in Ash.
And then we have the fact that the BW games got a sequel immediately after, Black and White 2, and the story on those was directly connected to the first games, showcasing an Unova 2 years after BW1 (highly reccomend them btw, some of the best overarching story in pokemon games ever)
And like, the anime started with the narrator just saying Ash was still 10!! Someone surely made that a rule in the background, so how could they tell the story of a Unova 2 years later with a main character that just couldn't age?
So the writers just had to do their own thing. And probably made up so much of it halfway and also explain why they just scrapped so many characters of the day post league. They just wanted some time for people to forget the first half of BW to try and implement things from BW2.
And that's the thing, this issue is not from BW only. We know for a fact that there were plans for Ash to leave the anime during Johto, but they couldn't just say goodbye to him, so he stayed. Black and White was just the culmination of that decision. And I feel like hating on it alone is just… not aknowledging that pokeani is flawed from the get-go yknow?
What made BW that weird is what made Ash and Serena and the Kalos loss weird, what made journeys weird and what made 2beamaster miniseries that FUCKING WEIRD.
BUT GOSH TRIO!! Now the way those 3 were handled in the season is one thing I can't excuse lmao
People love to talk how out of character Ash acts this season, even though is not even that OOC when compared to pre DP, but TR were the ones that felt like complete different characters! And while I enjoy the whiplash of Ash gang doing silly things overlapped with very serious evil dutiestm, I feel like that that was a bad decision throught and throught. I get that at first they wanted a Team Rocket vs Team Plasma situation, but doing that with the TRio is just so weird.
HELL YEAH, I LOVE THE NEWTWO MOVIE! It makes no sense but gosh Mewtwo2 and genesect's relationship is just so ADORABLE i love them so much. Is those kind of stuff that makes me sad about BW, folks see a mewtwo that is not the main one and they dont give it a shot, but is such a heartwarming story in the end.

TELL ME ALL ABT YOUR FIRST DATE ♪ pleasepleplease what kind of outfits did you wear? what did you do??? how was it like??? spill!!
Heyo Salsflore! Sorry for responding so late <3
Our first date wasn't anything too fancy at all... it was also very spontaneous (which was probably hard on Aesop). I decided to pop in at his work one afternoon, and I said a lengthy equivalent of "Go out with me". I took his shocked silence as a yes. (Not recommended). I literally waited there until he was ready and the concept of a date for us (then) was very strange. I didn't dress up (I didn't plan any of this) and Aesop was just wearing the classic funeral-director suit (he didn't plan any of this). It's kind of funny in hindsight, but I felt really proud that I was actually on a date with this literal angel on earth, and I basically had a bubble of bliss that blocked out any and all awkwardness.
Aesop told me later that he didn't mind going out with me, someone who he hasn't warmed up to that much, only because I made it seem so normal. I really don't know if that's a complement but I must have made the right move that afternoon. /lh
We went to a cafe that neither of us picked out. We just walked in because neither of us could decide where to go (again, that must have been very hard for Aesop). It was surprisingly delicious.
We walked together as the sun set. We were originally going to walk each other home, but along the way we started walking aimlessly around town. We almost ended up lost. Aesop insisted on taking me home first. We unsurprisingly did not exchange a goodbye kiss. In fact we did not kiss until almost half a year into the relationship.
Writing this made me realise how ridiculously funny everything at the beginning of a relationship is. It was so painfully awkward.
But at the same time, it was so pure and adorable.
Maybe it was both.

GOING FERAL READING YOUR DOCTOR WHO LIVEBLOGGING I'm so excited for you to get to the Donna season she is the BEST you're gonna love her or at least I hope so kdjlkjhSKJh
ALso hi hello what are your favorite episodes so far?? :stares:
DONNAAAAAAA I NEED TO MEET HER SO BADNOH MY GOD I KNOW I'M GONNA LOVE HER!!!!!!
As for favorite eps uhm hmmm!!! I don't know if I could choose rn. I'm watching episodes fast enough that I don't like get to chew on em and dissect em. (Watch through round 2 would do that) but I really liked the episode where the alien was that little kid who just wanted friends and made drawings come to life and I think the episode Blink? Where the Weeping Angels first show up. That episode was so fucking good and sexy oh my God.
I'm so glad you're enjoying reading through my liveblog I gotta do it more for the next batch of eps I watch. I've been liveblogging a ton in a friends server cause they have a dedicated channel for it.
I also tried watching Torchwood! It was just slightly not Doctor Who enough that my brain was like "uhm NO. No you don't" but I fucking know I'm gonna watch it when I get the time
