Let me bitch and moan before posting positivity for a sec because Derek DLC doesn't make you feel like you're cheating on Cove if you're dating him because Derek is actually yours and Cove's friend so spending time with him and crashing to his place doesn't feel weird if you do a platonic route. Which is not the same for Baxter DLC because WDYM I CRASH TO BAXTER'S PLACE AFTER INTERACTING WITH HIM FOR 3 DAYS AFTER 5 YEARS HE GHOSTED ME WHAT THE FUCK-

hiiiiiiiii im so mentally ill abt the swk-mk relationship from 1x09 into ROTSQ. wukong literally goes from having this “oh shit i Care about this kid” moment in 1x09 to Not Being There when mk faces off against the possessed dbk in 1x10. and then at the start of RotSQ they sit on that damn cliff again and wukong, for the first time, invites mk in, and we get to see just how lonely he really is. and mk’s about to leave, hesitates, realizes this, and Chooses to spend time with wukong. im so #normalgirl about them

(and also there’s tiny little origami versions of the original pilgrims in wukong’s little new year’s setup. and that’s just so everything to me)

GOD.

There really something about that ROTSQ scene. The way Wukong comfortably turns as MK's stammering and trying to leave. He seems so...at ease in his loneliness.

I also lose my mind that their mini 4x12 training sequence takes place at the same temple:

Sun Wukong: "I've been alive a long, long time. I've fought along side the Brotherhood and the great Companions, and now you. You may not believe it but you are all stronger than you know! Every one of you is already a hero—together you can do this, we can do this! Are ya with me!"

((*cough cough* "Just believe in yourself! Even a smidge makes all the difference." *cough *cough))

The contrast (and similarity) to their ROTSQ convo:

Sun Wukong: "I got you where I wanted you, by putting myself where you wanted me. It's called: misdirection." MK: "Seems like a shady lesson." Sun Wukong: "Too soon, buddy." MK: "UGH, I'm never gonna be as good as you." Sun Wukong: "Pst, not with that attitude!"

Their whole strategy in TEW was getting Azure where they wanted him, by putting themselves where Azure wanted their team. Really #normalgirl about it all

soooo interesting to me that misty is like. so shameless / guiltfree / nonchalant about the cannibalism & cult & poisoning & murder of it all like she is NOT haunted by those 19 months the way literally every other girl is bc she did what she did and she had fun doing it! and yet she literally also cannot listen to stayin' alive for five seconds bc it reminds her of crystal, who she technically didn't even kill. lol. 🔨

12. An unpopular character you like? (and why more people should like them)

asdfghjk THANKS FOR THE ASK I'M GIVING YOU SO MUCH <33 RN

Ooh, hmm, this'll be fun. there are so many examples in pokeani and honestly some are a little eh, but then I remembered how almost every comment I see about 'worse' characters seem to include Max and I just don't get it?? How can anyone hate him??

(fun fact, when I was first watching him - in dub mind you - I also really didn't like him much. but I was coming off from the end of the OG, which was pretty sad considering who we lost, and tbh especially in 4kids early seasons dub EVERYONE was pretty unlikeable. I think I hated almost everyone back in the early gens at some point lol; I can be real vindicative but I think watching the whole thing taught me to take my time before judging stuff :v)

But yeah!! I really don't get the hate. Oh, so he said that Ash sucked for getting 8th place in the Silver Conference - can we all remember that a) legit kid and b) he's seeing this guy lose to an evolved starter from his own region of the SAME type as Ash's. It's like watching a Venasaur lose to Meganium if you're from Kanto; you'll be feeling pretty patriotic and stuff too ngl, especially if you don't have any battle experience yet.

But he acts so smart - Yes, and?? I don't see anyone talk about how Gary was coming up in the first season spouting random facts only to lose in the prelims and get a lower place than Ash. Again, I wish that people remember that Max is the kid of a Gym Leader, who reads and watches Leagues to make up for not being able to watc the Gym Battles taking place under the same roof, who dreams of becoming as strong if not stronger than his father. He's going to have high expectations. He's going to think that knowledge is everything. He's going to show off as much as he can, to make up for the fact that he's the only one in the group who isn't a Trainer. And I love how he learns that you have to actually interact with Pokemon to learn what it's all about, that you can't replace experience, that you can still experience things now even if you are too young to start. There isn't a limit to going out and interacting with the world. He doesn't have to wait. He's allowed to make mistakes and own up and not know stuff and grow, now and in the future. In a way, he's learning the same things as May, and I think that's wonderful.

And while I wish that he could've gotten a Pokemon while on the journey (one that he could keep à la XY with Bonnie), I'm fine with what he had in Advanced. He got to see Gym Battles. He got to travel two (2) regions. He got to see different aspects of being a Trainer, as a Coordinator and as a Breeder/Doctor. He got the recognition of his father in the end and was able to get into the Gym business. He got to play and learn with so many Pokemon and just act his age for once, instead of having to grow up to make up the percieved difference (wrongly percieved, might I add). Dang it, he brefriended two Mythical Pokemon (Jirachi and that other Deoxys). I dunno, he's doing pretty well for himself. Sure he's snappish and remarks on a bunch of stuff, but AG is full of that (ugh Ash was on another level, especially in Hoenn) (we don't talk about flat Brock) and S1 Kanto was way worse.

Anyways everyone go out and appreciate this goober. He did not bond with this Ralts for nothing and I swear I did not cry in this ep just for everyone to hate him. His character growth was awesome and if we ever get a Chronicles 2.0 I need to see his journey (the kids that go with Ash legit get such powerful Pokemon I fear for the competition lol).

[queernarchy]

ok but them deciding to kill nat the most skilled hunter in the group and then deciding to let javi drown when he could have very well just sunken like the moose did and then they'd have nothing and them not eating the wilderness baby before jumping to ritualistic murder and lottie deciding to poison one of the girls when one of them is a state senator and one of them is an active murder suspect and one of them is dating another serial killer and they'd definitely get found out and arrested by the police yellowjackets is a stupid fucking show but it's my stupid fucking show

[the-darkness-does-not-bargain]

Ngl a little surprised that no one else seems to have leapt at the opportunity to make a werewolf yellowjackets au. Like I really don't think you could come up with a more fitting au concept for this show than that.

[villagesong]

yellowjackets au where adult shauna became a surgeon. her moving away from writing and journalism because now she has this Thing that she is Good At and she wants to feel of use to others. it's her one place where she fits in and she's valued (for cutting up people).

[scre6m]

the entire story of this show is them doing fuckinf horrible things to each other if u can’t handle it go watch something the fuck else dndnddd

The lost potential of the friendship between Misty and Jackie haunts me forever

[citnamora]

WOOO MISTY!!! MY GIRL DID IT!! SHE FINALLY GOT HER CUTIE MARK!!!!!!

[whippetcrimes]

Misty's breeder has a 6 week pup that suddenly became available and he is sooooo cute. He has the pudgiest little baby legs. I looked at a picture of Misty at 5 weeks and she wasn't nearly so chunky

[alivegirlmari]

i love all the secrets the girls have with themselves and just one other person, especially when it's a ghost.

no one will ever know that shauna ate jackie's ear, that she ate jackie first, that jackie was hers - both briefly, before everyone else ate her, and then always, because now jackie lives on inside her, and in everything shauna does. how can ghostjackie not appear, even twenty-five years later on that bridge, when she's a part of shauna, just as much as her heart and lungs are? shauna consumes jackie, and jackie consumes shauna, and it all starts with the ear that exists between them.

lottie is the only one who saw the chunk missing on deadjackie's arm; i'm sure she had theories or concerns about it, but it's still a secret she immediately accepted as is, and then agreed to keep - locking the necklace around shauna's neck to confirm their silent covenant, that they're now linked together in this act of sorrow and love, and then the kindness she generally shows towards shauna's grieving process: you can trust me. you're not alone. (but it's not really just between lottie and shauna, either: it was jackie's flesh, so ghostjackie keeps yet another secret, even without knowing.)

misty is the only person who knows crystal's real name, and true demise. no one will ever believe that crystal accidentally fell, and even if they did, it doesn't matter: they weren’t up on that cliff anyways, which is fine, because it means kristen - her life, her death - belongs to misty alone. a part of misty belongs solely to kristen, too: the black box secret that misty will likely take to her grave now, just as kristen took it to hers. (obviously her family and theatre friends knew her real name, but she shared it with misty because she trusted her. and that moment, before the trust was broken, will always exist, suspended in air. they pinky-promised it.)
