I love this interaction so much because there are so many layers to it, especially when you look back at it after learning Volo’s true nature.

First of all, since Volo shows a lot of signs of being a total sociopath, it’s pretty clear to me that he doesn’t care about Ingo at all. He isn’t asking about Ingo’s memory loss or expressing hope that he gets his memory back out of any sort of compassion for Ingo; he’s only asking about it because he hopes Ingo can tell him what’s on the other side of the rift. Volo is only interested in Ingo as a potential source of information about the rift and, by extension, Arceus. Ingo’s suffering doesn’t matter to Volo in the slightest.

Volo’s suggestion that the space-time rift might be responsible for what happened to Ingo comes across as especially scummy in light of the reveal that Volo’s pact with Giratina is what caused the rift to open in the first place. Whether true or not, Volo theorizes that he may be responsible for Ingo’s plight, and that possibility doesn’t bother him at all. He believes his pact with Giratina may have completely ruined this man’s life, and he hasn’t lost a wink of sleep over it.

On Ingo’s side, his line, “I can’t remember my own home, nor my family, if I had any…” is particularly heartwrenching. The reason Ingo’s situation has struck a chord with so many fans is because we know exactly what he lost. In Gen V, Ingo and his brother were always presented as a pair, both in the games and in various adaptations. Now, Ingo doesn’t even remember that Emmet exists. Everything that he loved, everything that defined who he was, is gone, without explanation.

And there’s a very real chance that it’s all because of the man who has the audacity to smile at him and say, “Well, I do hope your memories return, Warden Ingo.”

My current favourite tiktok trend is the one where people wrap presents to look like something they're not and some people get ridiculous with it

Wait, if Akari gets pokefied into a BB Arceus, does that mean she could get god-like powers at some point? Lil' bitey godling. She could probably un-pokemon the others if she wanted, right?

I worry about Volo deciding to try, and catch her (If it's possible) in order to enact his 'Destroy the world to remake it as he sees fit'-type of plan. Just imagine literally everyone in game deciding to open a can of whoop-ass on Volo for even trying. lol

Especially the Snaeasler-submas twins. And Lady Sneasler. And Elesa. And the Diamond/Pearl Clans. And the folks in Jublife Village that can fight. And the other Noble Pokemon. And-

oh god

Akari has done SO many side quests at this point that EVERYONE is on her side. Including Giratina. She's lowkey also the trio's fourth sibbie. Palkia, Dialga, Giratina, and this random feral baby that Arceus arce-fied.

Volo is about to get his ass kicked by everybody in Hisui and even some people who aren't from Hisui

Merry Xmas!

Part 2/2

Part 1

[lucysparks2468]

Duke spent all his childhood and most of his teenage years in a middle class family, so I like to think that he carried these habits into his rich life as well.

Example 1:

Duke: who the fuck is wasting our water? Do you know how expensive the bill will be next month?

Tim: Do you know that even if we had opened all the taps in the manor, Bruce would still have no problem paying for them for at least the next ninety years?

Duke, closing the faucet: yeah, what's your point?

Example 2:

Duke: It's literally a rip-off! Six dollars for a fucking yogourt?! Nah, let's go Cass, bet I can find an analog for three.

Cass, handing him the hundred dollar bill that Bruce gave them to buy two yogourts (he didn't know the price and just hoped that it was enough): ?

Duke, dragging her out of the store: It's a principle now, let's go.

Example 3:

Dick, accidentally dropping his phone: oopsie-

Duke, without thinking: of course, go on and break it. We are all billionaires here, aren't we?

Dick, pretty much confused: well, technically…

Duke: I see you, victim of capitalism.

He also constantly turns off the lights when someone leaves the room for more than 0,5 seconds, because it pisses him off.

ok hear me out- au where splinter actually focuses on training the boys and teaching them about their hamato ancestry from the beginning

he chooses to prioritize the threat of the shredder and other dangers over his own reluctance to combat and, inadvertently, his son's selves.

and instead of being able to just be kids, they have to discover themselves and their individuality later on

Bruce: I have an announcement to make. We are having a very important guest to tonight dinner. He will be here in five hours.

Dick: This better not be another new kid

Duke: Please let it be a new kid. I'm tired of being freshmeat

Bruce: No, you are not getting a new brother. I am.

Dick: What?

Bruce: Before my mom married my dad, she was short on cash and sold some of her eggs. Back then, the science wasn't that great, so none of the babies actually grew from them as far as she was told. I looked into it and found out they lied. I have a baby brother, and he's coming here tonight.

Duke: ....does this mean I'm still freshmeat?

Damian: Yes, it does Freshmeat

Dick ignoring them: Bruce, how mentally prepared are you for meeting your half brother?

Bruce: Me? I'm the icon of mental stability. I have a bunch of fun games we can play to get to know each other. I even have some grey ghost VHS tapes to watch!

Dick: Riiiiiight. How old is he, and what's his name?

Bruce: He's fourteen, and his name is Danny Fenton. I was eighteen when he was born isn't that wild?

Duke: Why is he doing that with his face?

Damian: I believe Father is experiencing a stroke.

Dick: Don't be mean. He's just excited to meet Danny

Duke: Look at him and tell me that you think it will go well with how he's acting

Bruce:

Dick: Okay, so maybe we shouldn't let him talk to Danny alone for a bit.

Is emmet and Volo the only people to have their own pokemon? If so why don't the other resistance members have their own? Is it because of the harsh environment of lower unova that not many pokemon live there? Are all the pokemon living in upper unova? And one last question what did dystopia Volo do to pokemon once he became God?

ah, the other resistance members have Pokemon! for example, Elesa will have an Emolga and a Luxray (Luxray more for battle than Emolga LOL), Skyla has a Swanna, Alder has Volcarona, Mallow has Steenee etc it is true that folks in Lower Unova are less likely to have Pokemon just because Pokeballs are very hard to come by, given the Emperor heavily restricts resources like that. there could be the rare occasion that someone obtains a Pokemon if that Pokemon is willing to stay with a person and consider them their trainer/companion (in other words, docile enough I suppose or just even seeking refuge from other, more aggressive Pokemon) as far as what Emperor Volo did, good question! as far as availability mmm I think some variants are either very low in numbers or even extinct (think some of the Hisuian pokemon), but the main thing is that Pokemon have become even more aggressive, generally 😭

(dystopian!AU) perfect framing, Emmet 🩷❄️

"Pretty Pretty Please I Don't Want to be a Magical Girl" Bios!

NAME: Aika (she/her) AGE: 15 Main Protagonist CV: Anairis Quiñones

BIO:

Aika is an easily excitable and energetic girl. She's generally optimistic and very friendly. She's always eager to try new things as long as it's not her fulltime job of being a magical girl.

As soon as her magical girl duties are brought into the picture, her demeanor changes. She checks out, and often looks for the quickest solution to solve the issue. No flashy transformations and special moves here. She's good with a metal baseball bat or a rocket launcher.

All Aika wants is to live a normal life, make friends and go to school. Unfortunately, like every main protagonist, trouble manages to follow her wherever she goes.

___________________________________

NAME: Zira (she/they) AGE: 16 Love Interest Best Friend CV: Bennett Abara

BIO:

Zira is everything Aika wants to be. Painfully average, under the radar and a self proclaimed loser.

She's a smart girl but has a hard time applying herself. Instead of paying attention in school, and doing extracurriculars, Zira would much rather be reading her favorite magical girl manga "Moon Sailor".

After Aika forces her friendship upon them, Zira now has to tag along on all of Aika's escapades and experiences new things. Ew. However, they admire Aika deeply and admire her even more after Aika's magical secret comes to light.

___________________________________

NAME: Hoshi (any/they/them) AGE: unknown Magical Sidekick CV: Christine Marie Cabanos

BIO:

Hoshi is a magical star being sent to Earth to find the chosen one. They made a great choice with Aika, as she's amazing at her job. The only issue is she hates it and is often trying to dodge responsibilities (and Hoshi).

When Aika first started, and still had her heart in it, Hoshi was definitely more neurotic and acted as your typical mentor/magical sidekick. But over time, they gave up on trying to tell Aika what to do and also became a little more apathetic. Aika was getting the job done at least, so what's the problem?

Hoshi still has to make sure Aika doesn't completely give up on being the Star Guardian: Guardian of the Stars, which Aika finds annoying.

___________________________________

NAME: Eclipse (he/him) AGE: 15 Minor Antagonist CV: Aleks Le

BIO:Eclipse is a flamboyant and theatrical individual whose showmanship is out of this world. He refers to himself as

"Eclipse: Servant of Darkness".

He was a D-list antagonist that Aika and her team would fight on occasion. Mostly just saving citizens from him being a nuisance. Eclipse has deluded himself into thinking that he's Aika's rival, main antagonist and love interest. Their love is simply forbidden as he's chosen the path of darkness and her, the light.

After Aika ran away, he managed to find her again. However this time he actually has powers??? Where did those come from? It's as if he's made a deal with darkness itself.

___________________________________

NAME: Lady DeVoid (she/her) AGE: Old Main Antagonist/Big Bad CV: Shara Kirby

BIO: Lady DeVoid is darkness itself. She's a mysterious being with an incomprehensible amount of power. Power that is currently weakened and that she actually has no idea how to use. She can't seem to remember for some reason...

All she knows is that a long time ago she was defeated and banished by a Star Guardian and that she now wants revenge. The only power she has at her disposal is creating particles of darkness that she can use to possess animate or inanimate objects to create monsters. She prefers others do her dirty work.

She enlists the help of Eclipse to spread these particles with the hopes that it'll eventually destroy the Star Guardian.

___________________________________

NAME: Miss (she/her) AGE: 39 Side Character CV: Michele Knotz

BIO:

Miss is Aika and Zira's very tired teacher. Looking at her, you might assume she hates her job, but it's quite the opposite. She pours everything into her work and into her students, leaving very little time for her personal life.

She's recently started trying to get it together (after her ex-wife left her) but is still struggling to find that work-life balance.

Prior to Aika enrolling, Miss was Zira's only friend at school and, though she'd never admit it, Zira's probably the closest thing she has to a friend also (oof). She's subsequently become a secret Moon Sailor fan too.

Idk if this is hot take, but I still absolutely hate what the dlc did to team Star. Like, what kind of message is that to send to kids?

Never stand out??

Don’t express yourself and the things you love through fashion, especially as a coping strategy to help manage difficult emotions, because that makes you an inherently immoral person???

Conforming to societies standards of dress is essential to being a functional member of society, and therefore one must assume the opposite if an individual doesn’t conform. Different = broken, scary and bad. Conforming = functional, safe and good????

Like, I know team Star were the antagonists, and that they were behaving in ways that were harmful to them, and to those around them, but that was never because of the way they dressed. In fact, they only dressed like that as a response to trauma, not as the catalyst for it.

Yes, they devised their outfits as part of their plan, but they were all hand made, and reflected things the characters loved, their hobbies, their heritage and their passions. While it’s true that they developed these personas to cope with the situation they were in, as a means to protect themselves and to exert control on others around them, they didn’t do this by hiding who they were, but but doubling down on it

The problem was their behaviour, not who they are, or that they were expressing that through fashion. It was lazy and problematic of Nintendo to attempt to show the characters growth by stripping that away from them, as a visual indicator that they were now coping in healthier ways, and had changed their behaviour.

Plus, they never addressed the elephant in the room, that these kids were acting out as they were completely let down by their school and the adults around them, who should have intervened and offered guidance way before anything ever escalated to the point that it did

The clothes didn’t make them act out, it was the people and systems that failed to protect them that resulted in such behaviour
