Kaa and Ssecar! And my sona! In there coils. A senario I do not mind at al! Originally I only was interested in the Kaa version when I entered this YCH but I got the Ssecar alt as a late birthday present because me am frens with RiZ! :)

Original description: Can you believe I’ve been doing hypno and coil stuff since 2015 and yet have never ever gotten a pic involving Kaa? Yeah, I’m just as surprised. But recently my good friend IrkenInvaderRiZ

was having a YCH where you could either get a character of your choosing in either Kaa’s coils or her snake OC’s Ssecar’s. Since I already got a pic of myself in Ssecar’s coils I thought that since the opportunity came up and I have yet to have a pic involving the very character who started this whole fetish in the first place I may as well go the Kaa option. And go my self insert while I’m at it because self-indulgence is one hell of a drug! Kaa is a character who needs no introduction at this point. He’s the very character that gave birth to this hypnotised by a snake and wrapped in it’s coils fetish. Even if your only into the hypnosis side of things and not into coils or snakes you still would of at least heard about Kaa… Or at least the Disney Animated Movie version of Kaa. Kaa in the 1967 movie is actually a lot and I really do mean A LOT different that the Kaa in the original Jungle Book written by Rudyard Kipling. That Kaa was a very protective and wise mentor towards Mowgli and was quite loyal towards him. Why was this changed in the movie to make Kaa an antagonist? Get this, apparently Walt Disney hated the idea of a benevolent snake. Why? Why are snakes always seen as the bad guys in fiction? Is it because it’s the form Satan took in the Book of Genesis when he tempted Eve to eat the apples God specifically told her and Adam not to eat and Satan is evil so all snakes must be evil? Well how do you explain stuff like Rattlesnake Jake from Rango then? Or Slips Python from My Gym Partner’s A Monkey? The fact that I even remember that show in particular probably say’s a lot about me. Honestly though I don’t really mind the change because well I mean come on, if it didn’t happen then we might never of gotten this kink we enjoy for our own reasons. I quite like this Kaa actually. He’s got a nice design, his hypno eyes paired with his voice are quite appealing and the kind of thing I wouldn’t mind being hypnotised by, the way he tries to lure you in by saying that you will be safe with him. I mean at the end of the day he’s still going to eat you but quite frankly I’d rather him get to me first and be his prey than literally any other animal in the jungle. No fangs, no claws, nothing painful.

That being said if you do want to see an interpretation of Kaa that’s closer to the original then there’s the Russian Jungle Book movie and the 52 episode anime series where Kaa is a lot closer to his original version. I just thought this was all a bit of interesting stuff I’d share.

Unpopular Poképinions Ahead

As Gen 4 approaches it’s remake and Gen 5 will hit it’s inevitable “Gen 5 remakes confirmed” stage, etc. etc., I would like to state for the record that

1. I have always loved Gen 5 and 6.

There was a lot of bullshit passed around and people hating it, but 5th gen literally got me to not only play Pokémon again but also beat the full game after Crystal (I had no GBA nor have I ever actually finished HGSS, which is main reason I actually cared about 4th gen in the first place until I got older lol) I’ve noticed a lot of people jumping the “5th gen was always good” bandwagon, but those people are liars who gave it shit because of the “unoriginal designs” and “dumb, unnecessary story”. 6th gen, though a little lacking, was still amazing, and idegaf about megas. We could sit on benches and take photos, and dress up as ourselves for the first time. I’ve been seeing people memeing how there are no 6th gen fans and that’s only because enough time hasn’t passed for people to be hipstely, retroactively loving it yet. My only criticism is fuck France Kalos.

2. I will never actually admit to liking 8th gen.

When the wheel once again inevitably returns to Galar, I will stand by my past (present) self and stand firm in the belief that this was one of my least fave gens of all time. I haven’t even finished any of my 3rd or 4th gen runs and I can say that with absolute certainty that 8th gen was not worth the money it cost (it was gifted to me, so I can’t say the money I paid lol, but I still feel guilty that money was paid for it). Even somehow ignoring the glaring controversies, Galar felt so incredibly small and lackluster for our first big Switch entry. There will probably never be a generation that gives us absolutely nothing, but there’s so little for me to say I actually liked. There’s nothing for me to miss when this gen leaves us for the next. Cooking is fun, but I won’t bat an eye when it leaves because it wasn’t even the first game we had a “cooking” minigame.

Like, if I do a comparison between 3rd +4th gen and 8th gen, even though I haven’t technically finished any of them yet (barely past the first couple gyms in the former, don’t feel the motivation to finally beat Leon in the latter) there’s more much more from my previously held “least fave” gens that I enjoy.

3rd Gen/Hoenn

Contests - kinda cool and something other to do than battling

PokéBlocks - the beginnings of the cooking mini-games

Secret bases - expanded on your customizble room from 2nd Gen which, like, probably 10 of you remember

Team Aqua vs. Magma - I love these pair of failure of 9th grade earth science distasters. Archie and Maxie and garbage himbo otp

Abilities - natures drive me insane, but abilities are so useful and make so much sense and I don’t know where battling even in-game would be without them

Coherent box system - it was a logical jump, but still

Braille - Ngl, I was super butthurt when, as a child, I learned that the unnown weren’t used in this game like before, but as an adult that can appreciate things, props to Gamefreak for using a real written language that’s actually only read by minority of people and encouraging people to learn it just ‘cause

4th Gen/Sinnoh

Super Contests (again) - look, my first experience with 4th gen was my brother’s best friend letting me play contests on his DS because my brother and I did not own one (a different friend accidentally broke my GBA my brother was borrowing before we had the chance to own RSE). I’ve always seen my trainer-sona as a professor/researcher, but you can peel contests out of my cold, dead hands.

Poffins - more cooking mini-games, A++

Looker - I love him, go away

Pokétch - As a second gen fan that is absolutely biased and will give extra points to all things Johto, the pokétch was the best tech device, fight me

Mining - same as super contests because I love any mini-games with attention to detail

Sex differences - I love how Gamefreak remembered that these are animals and may have sexual dimorphism, some done better than others, but still

Day/Night - I was very angry at 3rd gen for getting rid of this and pleased at it’s return in 4th gen

8th Gen/Galar

Curry - because as mentioned before, I’m a slut for cooking games

Marnie - little (titty) goth GF

Visible wild pokémon - which tbf were already showing up in other games, but I’ll give them credit for keeping them in these main series games

Regional mons - I’ve been a sucker for these guys since the previous gen and they kept going with those sick designs

I’m genuinely having trouble thinking of things I genuinely liked from these games that I remember more things I enjoyed from the other two gens

Honestly, 3rd and 4th gen had my least fave designs while there aren’t really any I dislike from 8th (tho those fossils make me angry), but that doesn’t really “fix” my lack of interest or draw to the games as a whole. Camping was a downgrade because even if I can see everyone together, I’m not allowed to pet my babies.

Anyways, my original point was, Gen 8 sucks and you won’t see me acting like those liars or reddit acting like it wasn’t an unpopular opinion to hate on it once time has passed. I’ll stand my ground and feel free to call me out on this should the moment arise (it won’t).
