Dreaming of Sweet Breezes

@trybard and I have a gospel to spread, and I'm goddamn Donkey Kong bashing my official Nintendo DK Jungle Beat Bongos to make sure the message gets through every thick skull on this planet. DeNA awakened the beast with its latest Pokemon Masters EX trailer.

Leon and Oleana from Pokemon Sword and Shield are besties and drinking buddies after work.

They are also both gay.

This is canon.

You cannot stop me nor my brain worms from hunching over my laptop after midnight to write an entire story about this. I just watched the Barbie movie. I do not fear death. I am become death, the destroyer of worlds.

---

Fandom: Pokemon

Characters: Leon and Oleana

Summary: Running Macro Cosmos is a full-time job fit for three people. Luckily, Oleana has a friend housed right in Rose Tower to vent her frustrations over a stiff glass. Gear up for mild language, drinking, and a lot of pining.

The businesswoman takes a deep breath of ambient silence, inhaling worn leather and antiseptic air freshener, and then collapses into the chair. It breaks the silence with a sound not too far from a gunshot. Her chic lab coat facsimile and iron-steamed wavy hair spread limp around the chair and the checkerboard cape draped over its headrest. Hard to believe this corpse had written the world's longest email in record time not one minute prior.

Her Rotom Pad, still floating where she left it, autonomously hovers over to a charging station near the entryway and goes dark.

But Oleana isn't alone.

A seemingly mundane topic but this is how corporations eat away at our livelihood…One product at a time.

Reminder: the companies and political entities pushing Project 2025 have addresses and go out to lunch a lot and should never eat a spitless meal for the rest of their lives.

Practice bagpipes outside their secure compounds.

Follow them around ringing a bell wherever they go.

If they are going to be farcically evil, be Animaniacally good. Be the definition of chaotic justice.

Also, vote. It might just kick the ball down the road a bit, but that gives people more time to organize a concerted resistance (in no way on any social media platform) to the fascist creep happening in America. It is possible to take this country from the bastards who control it, it will take work, effort, and occasionally going offline and talking to humans though.

I know rooster teeth had a whole fucking host of problems and haven't watched their stuff in years but I still shed a tear for another day another internet group getting bought out by big media companies because "they're successful" and then being shut down because they don't make enough profit for wall street. let things stay small. not everything needs to be contract deals and billboards the beauty of the internet should be that there's thousands of little things for people to find the niche they like, not that anything that becomes popular is obviously the next big franchise and we need to throw millions of dollars at it. We live in an era where big companies are taking everything small from us. Heardle getting bought out by Spotify and then shut down bc they realized it cost more than it made. capitalism and the Internet are not built for each other.

Deny (capitalism)

Defend (basic needs and rights)

Depose (elites, corrupt politicians, corporate media)

As someone who believes in empathy, kindness, and communication, I cannot condone gun violence.

However,,,,

[Picture ID: a meme including a photo of a fast food cup at a soda fountain, with someone pressing two buttons at once to pour two different sodas into the same cup. Over one of the soda brands reads the text “Violence, especially gun violence, is bad and creates more problems than it solves, and has no place in a humane and civilized society”. Over the other soda brand is text that reads “Billionaires fucking around and finding out is kinda funny”. End ID]

Fire. All. Republicans.

if Republicans shut down the government over budget reasons, remember that they're the ones who grow the deficit every time they're in charge by giving massive amounts of our taxpayer money to corporations

our country can't survive much longer under republican rule, and will almost certainly crash under another garbage "president" like tRump

the hypocrisy is cartoonishly evil

Do I Have Any Advice for You

Yes. Life is long if you're lucky and full of struggles. There are many downsides that accompany personhood, but also much joy. We are here to love and be loved, to know and be known, and to pay attention. The gift of our attention is unprecedented in the history of Earth life, and a power to wield with care and attention.

But that is not my advice. My advice is to--if it is at all possible--shed your human skin entirely and become a corporation. Ideally, become a coffee company that donates all its profit to charity. But any kind of corporation will do in a pinch.

According to the U.S. Supreme Court, as a corporation you will still be a person, but you will no longer be confined to the decaying bacterial colony known as your body. You will ascend to Corporate Personhood, the highest form of Personhood available to late stage capitalist societies, where you enjoy all the benefits of person status with none of the biological trials and tribulations.
