Siblings starting early

Do you think Ash's mother knows about all his deaths? Or you think he just forgets to mention it

knowing how she acts in the early seasons (and later now that I think about it) Delia is either a massive airhead or she's so numb to Ash's bullshit after 10 years nothing phases her

so in regards to some recent community events

there have been some events happening in the community that unfortunately remind me of old happenings in previous fandoms, so I'd like to just put my two cents out there about the situation.

Mewtwo is overall pretty simple character design wise with a pretty simple palette. You'd seen how I have made some variations with a limited palette and they all still have some connection to the original purple and pink, or green and yellow. Because of that I know that I can't honestly expect someone out there might make a similar mewtwo character with colours close by, assuming that can never happen by coincidence is just unreasonable on my part, even when you add stripes as a nod to mewtwo's clone starters

So with that being said I think one needs to be reminded in this community that similarities are going to happen, be either colours, stripes, spots, accessories like glasses or scarves and not one of us owns that aspect of a design because sometimes you can only do so much with them while still trying to stay true to the original mewtwo

If there IS ever a situation where you might think perhaps there is another person out there who's designs lean closer to yours you should ask yourself first, is this a common thing? Does this artist have a history of copying everyone else, do they copy story ideas too or is it just in terms of appearance?

Once you consider that one should ask themself, how do I approach this? Simple, you send them a private message and you ask them. I can guarantee this community for the most part is pretty reasonable and I doubt the receiving end will bite your head off for asking. What shouldn't you do? smear them, making public call out posts accusing said person of theft with no evidence

That is what people did in my old community for the Lion King, and believe me when I was much younger I fell for the trap of making call out journals on thieves myself but that will never make the problem better, it just escalates the situation and makes it more complicated and stressful. I have dealt with genuine copycats in the lion king community, I have someone who has leeched onto both character aspects and story beats from me for fifteen years and counting at this point so at this point in my online career I've gotten better at telling coincidence from purposeful copying or theft. And the Lion King fandom has devolved into a sea of finger pointing and accusations, stealing and fighting. I've seen it happen every now and then here in the mewtwo and mew community now

Do not turn this community into what the Lion King turned into, we can be better than that, we can be adults and face the matter like adults, we can't be reactionary, we can't be twitter

all it took was something familiar

what did mama charizard think of the blue charmanders display of power!

yaaay~

[pinksaphira11]

hooray for blue charmander!

somehow I've done another Chartodile family moment

[pinksaphira11]

How do you imagine the charmanders and totadile sleep? All snuggled up with their mama, in a pile? Side by side. Or do the babies never sleep and keep mama up all night their their antics?

they tuckered themselves out

[pinksaphira11]

I wanted to make a backstory for the time I found this in pokemon Violet XD

[pinksaphira11]

he did a great job

[pinksaphira11]

I still love the fact Drakloaks will find any small pokemon they can find to put on their heads when they lose track of their dreepy

[pinksaphira11]

You know initially when I saw this

My first thought was, is mew gonna die? The second thought was imagine mew flat as pancake lol

I like to think that the ao3 staff find out that ao3 is down from the screams of anguish on tumblr alone

Whump community Reblog if you hate AI

it ruins the whole point of art

speaking of how to train your dragon and creature design, the shift from the really naturalistic art direction and character animation for the first movie's toothless- the face getting flatter, the eyes bigger and closer together, getting rid of the little realistic details like the dust collecting between the scales, the pink splotching where the scales end at the nostrils, the muted markings, the animation making a shift from largely realistic animal behavior to much more anthropomorphic- is such a huge downgrade to me, made worse because it's subtle in such a way that you will sound insane if you mention it

(huge L for the "the audience's capacity to find a creature cute and empathetic and expressive is directly proportional to how much it looks like a human baby" principle of character design because the first one is so so much cuter)

Listen, Minish Cap was a great game and it’s terribly underrated for a Zelda game. I definitely recommend playing it- it needs more love!

I used this gif of Arrietty because it looks exactly as I imagine an anime of Minish Cap could look. Ghibli and LOZ are seriously the best combination.
