I mean. The Pokémon can’t reasonably consent to anything in an altered state of mind. So it’s nonconsensual treatment of the shadow bullshit. Yes it’s bad but it’s the least bad option tbh

Pokemon palace time?

Y'know, since shadow pokemon-

That's awful. Horrible pun. Boooooooooo

...but also yes I'm going to steal them now holy SHIT

you know it’s really frustrating that being disabled. Especially invisibly. Requires near constant self-advocacy. Because I actually have social anxiety. When it comes to my public facing advocacy, I have to hype myself up. It’s fulfilling sure but it doesn’t come naturally.

Anyways if you’re Abled and looking for ways to be a better ally, you can do so by being the “excuse me he ask for no pickles” guy. Just say “excuse me? My friend is disabled and cannot do what you’re asking of them. Can we get some accommodations? Because this is going to be a miserable affair otherwise.”

I’m southern unovan and warm tea is gross

just saw someone putting on a kettle. for tea. like what the fuck are you doing, why would you warm up tea?

[gotta-pet-em-all]

if one good thing came out of the entire tea saga? It’s that, after struggling through a minor flare up and exhaustion, I finally perfected a sweet tea recipe. It tastes like home. Or…

Homesickness is complicated for me. I miss things that I never really had, or things I didn’t know better. But I really do like sweet tea. That was one of the few really good parts of my childhood.

who cares how much ribbing I get from the warm tea enthusiasts? I can make my favorite drink now. I can have it whenever I want.

thank you pine for helping me make this I love you i

gods. I’m homesick. But I’m gonna be okay. I wanna order takeout tonight from the deli, see if it’s any good. I think the owners are Unovan; they talk like I do but with a northern lilt so let’s see how it goes.

love you guys <3

......right

forgot that orientation was a plasma thing. my bad.

uh, it probably got upset at you because you approached it carrying an unknown object. next time, set down the curry first, and it should do better. maybe a soothe bell would help?

Ren holds a plate of homemade Pokémon food in one hand, and a Pokéball in the other.

He presses the button on the Pokéball, and lets out a Makuhita near his feet. "Hey—"

The Makuhita immediately punches him in the gut, sending him flying across the room, making him drop his plate with the food on it. It cracks into many pieces.

Ren groans, and starts to get back up. "Ohhhhh Takemi's gonna kill me—"

He walks over to the Makuhita, very slowly. "Hey—Hey can you let me clean up the plate? I don't want you eating it—"

The Makuhita punches him again.

Ren groans louder. "Guess that's a no..."]

That’s terrible caretaking! First of all, you should release it at a distance. Always keep your hands visible, and your eyes lowered. Move slowly and telegraph your movements, and offer it water before food. When offering food, eat some yourself to demonstrate that it isn’t poisoned, and back away to a safe distance. The easiest way to build trust is to repeatedly not harm the Pokémon.

Honestly, it’s like you never went to orientation.

Doctor Eggman pissed on the moon (YOU IDIOTS/r), Shadow the Hedgehog pissed in a hot topic

also never made tea myself before nor do I drink it, but to my limited understanding you put the tea bag in Hot Water then let it sit for a bit so the flavor from the leaves seeps into the water, and the water being hot speeds it up and gets more flavor out? Not entirely sure tho

We're still working on it, tbh. We did manage to successfully make something resembling sweet tea! I think the recipe could use some tweaks, and now I'm invested in it. Except I'm tired from standing that long so I need to lie down for a while before I resume activities. Just normal disabled things :/

....and, fine. I'll admit it. Regular sweet tea was once upon a time warm.

[gotta-pet-em-all]

the solution, i think, is to make yourself like a thorn impaled in his side that will hurt him too if he betrays you

what's great for your trust issues. what is going on in the Worst Region

So the guy that we're following around because he's our best option at the moment blew up team snagem's (pokemon thief group) hideout right

He was the best snagger they had. He double crossed them. Which. Does not bode well and what if he double crosses us too

[gotta-pet-em-all]

wait, the guy that pisses on the moon? or did he piss in a hot topic.

Raw coffee beans yummy

he'll do it. it's not an empty threat.

bulbasaur is native to kanto, i think

but i wouldn't ask you to confirm that. generally it just feels like bad form to ask others if you can milk them and eat their skin.

Tjis teaa saha iS verrrry interwstng frm a POkmon"s perdpectove . Laamp doesnt lnow how to mAke tes eitter it's ok

(@lampthelampent)

[Translation: This tea saga is verrrry interesting from a Pokémon's perspective. Lmap doesn't know how to make tea either, it's ok]

I’m this close to saying the correct way is to find a tea Pokémon and milk it tbh

it would be a grass type, right?

just saw someone putting on a kettle. for tea. like what the fuck are you doing, why would you warm up tea?

[gotta-pet-em-all]

h. how do you manage to burn water

it's okay the kitchen isn't on fire or anything, we're gonna try it again

i think what happened is she set the pan on the countertop (greasy) and then the grease on the bottom of the pan sizzled on the burner and that's when it started smoking.

what do your partners think about tea. out of curiosity

Myth is out battling, Pine has offered to try and DIY a sweet tea recipe with me

…. I should go supervise, it smells like something is burning

[gotta-pet-em-all]

I am not a child. I am a grown ass adult with a rice cooker. Please do not refer to me as a child, okay? I'm not so thin-skinned that I can't handle ribbing about being Unovan or how I make tea. But don't call me a child.
