"If rest becomes a form of recovery from work, as is the case today, it loses its specific ontological value. It no longer represents an independent, higher form of existence and degenerates into a derivative of work. Today's compulsion of production perpetuates work and thus eliminates that sacred silence. Life becomes entirely profane, desecrated."

—Han Byung-Chul, The Disappearance of Rituals (trans. Daniel Steuer)

Genuinely confused at the reaction to the Pokémon folk tales. Do people not realize most of them are repurposed from many different cultures?

Apart from that, it's very clear that the Pokémon that appears does not matter at all because there are many different versions of a single tale. The infamous Thyplosion tale was originally about Slaking, then about Piloswine. The Lapras and Octillery tales are the exact same. There's at least three variants of the Ursaring tale, and one of them is a Rapidash.

Why is everyone so shocked? Have you never heard a folk tale at all? Just off the top of my head, Greek mythology has a LOT of stories about Zeus fucking around as an animal, Rome's founding myth is literally fratricide, Egyptian mythos has a human heart being put in a scale... And suddenly you forget that exists because I guess dogshit interaction bait is too good to pass up?

Anyways. Diving deep into the leaked myths many interesting things come to light. None of the myths were used most probably because the Time/Space duality made more sense than Light/Time (the most mentioned combination), I think.

On another note, some original text has been repurposed in modern games. For example, Old Verse 18 (iirc) is identical to s mantra repeated all over the different versions of the Creation Myth: "Do not anger [Palkia]. Do not sadden [Dialga]." etc. The names are censored in the Old Verse and in the Canalave Library, but it's very clearly rhe exact same composition.

anyways, I'm currently working on a big Pokemon theology worldbuilding doc for ME and ME ALONE and it goes so deep you wouldn't believe. it also is so much fun it's as if a new game just dropped.

if anyone has any questions about any myth revealed PLEASE ask me i know way too much now and I think I found a way to make it make sense

jean kevin and neil all being 19 when they officially leave the nest feels significant somehow

(kevin being 19 when he runs, jean being 19 when renee takes him, neil’s fake age being 19 when he leaves after christmas and his real age being 19 when he leaves after riko is shot and he’s officially pardoned by ichirou)

Spicy take: I'm starting to think that the concept of "trickster" is about just as meaningful as the concept of Hero's Journey.

Sure, you can fit a lot of stories into it and some were written with that specific archetype in mind but also it conflates Joker, Odysseus, Br'er Rabit and Slavic folktales protagonists and I don't think these should belong in the same category.

Boundary crossing can be done for many reasons and in many ways. The need to lump all such characters into a single category says more about our over-reliance on rigid structures, the lack of play in our culture and a desperate need for something else.
