Ghetsis facts:
>At least two grunts are scared of him (musharna being able to spook them off with visions of being scolded by Ghetsis)
>His speeches does in fact convince some people to release their pokémon or at least second-guess their view on the trainer-pokémon relationship
>Tells the grunts to give Bianca's Munna back
>Persuasive enough to essentially wiggle some of his Guys out of arrest in Driftveil, even if Clay does it reluctantly
>Knows Reshiram and Zekrom would not fuck with him so he picks up a miracle child from the forest to do it for him instead. Raises said child kind of like his own but also kind of not, there's a deliberate distance put between them
>Did make this wonderchild who can speak to pokémon and are clearly very empathetic towards them hang out with pokémon who had been mistreated for the purpose of instilling an ideology in him.
>Randomly has 3 ninjas who are just ride or die until the end of time for some reason
>Lots of team plasma is ride or die for him actually, otherwise Neo Team Plasma wouldn't have been a thing
>He rubs the death of Alder's partner pokémon in the mans face. All cheeky beaky like. Because he can.
>He will tell the teenager his Adopted I Swear Not Related Promise son is fixated on as a rival all about how he basically groomed say son into doing all of this dragon bullshit while having them cornered on a bridge. Then just casually walks off. His ninjas are there too.
>Will also happily tell said teenager they probably aren't that special or chosen or whatever, lol lmao, seems like ur dragon haven't woken up yet, dw maybe it will, lol.
>Cannot take an L to save his fucking life. Will lash out at everything and everyone around him and build a stupid airship with a stupid laser powered by the crinkly old grandpa of the dragon trio and do a terrorism before taking an L
>Refers to himself as being PERFECT while inhaling massive amounts of copium
>Needs a cane in bw2 and is only ever seen using one of his hands, so probably physically disabled to some degree
>Strong enough to jam the butt of that cane into the solid frozen earth of a cave. Probably just kind of a visual metaphor for him being threatening but also Hear Me Out What If He's Fucking Built-
>N is ride or die for him enough to still try and get through to him during the bw2 climax despite having been utilized as a silly little pawn yet again. This does not work, because as previously mentioned, man just cannot take that L
>When faced with literally no other option but to take an L, he passes out. His ninja squad punctuates this with him probably not being a threat anymore.
Ghetsis interpertation:
I think all of these things weave together into just a very fascinating person when you look at them a little deeper. Someone who's clearly charismatic enough to acquire that much loyalty, love, and fear — but also not equipped to handle the shame of failure in the god damn slightest. When threatened he devolves from a calculated cult leader above it all to a snarling animal fighting for its life, because he's probably rotted away behind a mask of perfectionism for years rather than done any significant growth as a person. He's clearly intelligent, probably highly emotionally intelligent because if he wasn't he wouldn't be able to pull this shit, but all of that shatters and breaks and splinters with one (1) crucial failure. He tries to recuperate but can't, the survival instinct is breathing down his neck because to him the shame of being a human like the rest of them rather than the perfect ideal he's been forging is scarier than anything that could actually physically kill him. He blames N, he blames MC, Colress, just about anyone and anything that doesn't end up pointing back to his own shortcomings.
And still! N probably loves him! And it's probably genuine! He wants to connect with him and breach that gap and give him ibuprofen because even if he's shown himself to be cringe, that's still his father, which is something he values enough to try and hold on to. And the ninja guys remain ride or die, so there's clearly something to him other than schemes and trickery, something genuine and beautiful that might not in practice be worth fighting for but it sure feels like it.
A beautiful man who's warped himself into a demon because he couldn't stand his own humanity because he's probably autistic and traumatized from his undefined childhood, and when he's beat down, rather than taking that L at long last, he'll curl up in his little cage, continue to snarl and tell himself over and over that this is what he is. What he will always be. He couldn't become god so he resigns to dying a devil. Because even still, that is preferable to him over taking that L, admitting to himself he is just a little guy like other little guys with problems he couldn't cope with, and that it caused hurt and destruction.
Devils don't feel regret or shame, humans do. And he'd have a loooot of that to chug through if he decided to face it. So he won't.
which is just very sexy and milfy and babygirl of him i think. this is my "why ghetsis is like so sexy actually" manifesto, without even tapping into the juice that is him going "nuh-uh" over his own dang disabilities but that too ties into how he can't cope with his own imperfect humanity so u know. Also that he's just kinda sassy and petty. Amazing. 10/10 best written character not in the games but in my brain.
#snail rant#long post#ghetsis is canonically hot and this is just true#pokemon black and white#ghetsis harmonia gropius#ghetsis#i guess this is meta but actually its just me grabbing you by the throat and preaching the gospel of why this old man makes me go BARK BARK

I wish we had a site for original stuff that wasn’t wattpad because sometimes I just want to write about, like, vampires or something without having to do intense mental gymnastics to make the shoehorned anime boyfriend characterisations work. 😔😔😔 there needs to be an AO3 equivalent for original stuff—a site that’s untouched by outside influences trying to make money off of the content inside it. 😔😔😔 Maybe I’ll just start printing out little handmade zines or something, idk. I like fanfic so much because it’s so wild and free, like, you can do whatever you want, however you want, because everyone’s here for the love of it, because no one’s worried about money. It’s how all creating should be and i just feel like that once you start wanting to write (and share) stories that don’t involve a pre-existing anime boyfriend, your options for sharing it (freely) narrow down to either wattpad or carrier pigeon. and obviously!!!! im not opposed to people making money from their writing!!!!! it’s just i have a hundred and one different things i want to write that sometimes involve anime boyfriends and sometimes don’t, and with roughly 93 of those i just want to throw them out into the universe—without having to pour in the work and consideration that comes with creating something that eventually involves other peoples money!!! like… i just want to tell stories. 🥺 sdjkfhsdlkfhjksdjfhkj. i hate capitalism i hate it here i hate it here so much.
#floating rubbish island: mermaid spam#just some Thoughts TM#every day in every way i inch closer to my snail mail story threat#i am unhappy bc i feel like im on a leash and i want to bite it off LMAO bark bark bark#FREE ME!!!!

I acquired oreo isopods, and they're the cutest dang things
#isopods#personal#my pets#crustaceans#I just like them#I almost went with the orange ones but they were smaller#and also I'm a sucker for things that are or that look pied#They're going in with the snails for part of the cleanup crew#and came with free springtails#which I already had some springtails in there anyway#but more never hurts#I'll have to fetch and bake these guys a piece of bark from the wood pile#I'm very excited for them

So i made a post a while ago about not being able to do art for a bit because i had covid. Luckily, the covid didn't last very long. Unluckily, a bunch of other stuff went to shit immediately afterwards, so I probably won't be doing art for quite some time now, unless things take a sudden turn for the better.
I won't go into detail about it but there's been a family emergency with some post-surgery complications, and since we don't have a huge support system here I'm probably going to be busy caring for my mum for at least the next month.
My commissions haven't technically been closed at any point, but if anyone is interested in one then it's unlikely I'll be able to complete it as fast as I usually would, in part because I'm still not sure when I'll next be able to get to the studio to get my art stuff and bring it home (since I definitely won't be able to work away from home for a while). That being said I may still be able to do things like pencil drawings here, as long as I can unbury the scanner... It's been a bit of a nightmare getting the house set up for the hospital bed and everything.
I do for sure intend to go back to more a more regular art schedule eventually though. Just not sure when. I did find a much smaller and older watercolour set here that I could use until I get my normal stuff from the studio, but my time and energy is all being used up by other stuff rn so. Idk. We'll see how things go I guess
#i just got my pip and uc payments so hopefully we'll be set for this month but if it starts looking tight later... idk.#hopefully I'll be able to start actively advertising for commissions again soon. or at least doing more art for my own sake#normal barking#the one bright spot in all of this is that we found a random snail clinging to th upstairs curtains?? and I've decided to adopt it#it's been fun setting up a terrarium for it#baby snail very cute... no name yet. I'm still pondering it

Snephew Update!
Woke up yesterday morning to my sister barging into my room and asking if I wanted to see something amazing. Said yes. Got dragged into her room to look at a stick in Boof's tank.
"Do you see it?" she says.
I, still halfway asleep and not entirely sure what I'm supposed to be seeing, say "see what?"
See, my sister has been very worried about her dearest son boy Boof not eating the veggies she's been laying out for him. She had never seen him near the bowl she placed them in and they never had any rasp marks on them. However, he was still growing, pooping, and generally showing off healthy snail behaviors, so we knew he had to be eating something. This morning, she was able to catch him eating. And what was Boof eating, one may ask?
The stick.
Not the veggies, not the bloodworms that my sister placed out in case he was a carnivorous snail or just needed some protein in his diet (we have yet to positively ID him since he's not fully grown and also still fairly small), the stick.
Apparently my sister watched him rasp little holes into the bark of the stick for an entire hour that morning, and because his body is fairly clear she could see that he was actually eating it.
So now we know what my snephew is eating. We're going to try different veggies than what she's been offering him to see if he'll take to those for some variety in his diet, but it's good to know that there's at least one thing in his tank that he'll munch on.
💛~ B 08/15/24
#the snephew#snailblr#pet snails#garden snails#my sister thinks he might be a white-lipped snail since he's eating bark#I thought he might be a species from the monacha genus#we'll see who's right eventually#it'll just take time until Boof is fully grown#not fish

I have reached the Holy Trinity of stuffed animal obsessions
at first: Beanie Boos (which I know a lot of people hate because of how their a huge contributor to the whole “what toy companies think is cute” thing, but I still have a soft spot for them because they were such a big part of my childhood)
Then: Squishmallows (still goin fairly strong, was a huge fixation of mine for like a year and a half)
and finally: Beanie Babies (I FUCKIN LOVE THESE SILLY FUCKIN GOOBERS. I HAVE THE MILLENNIUM 2000 ONE, THE FUCKIN PRINCESS DIANA ONE, AND GOOCHY AND SWIRLY)
I’m so sad because I got my two recent ones (Goochy and Swirly) at this Halloween thing that was happening, and I was planning on getting more when the fair was over, but we got rained out and they were all taken away :<

I had to rush about and do a bunch of shit for the past couple hours, but I got to see someone I love and it turned out my pet snail is alive! So today was ok.
Have a blurry terrible pic of Wally:

You’re Sick - Part 1
Summary: How do they act when you come down with a bad fever?
Characters: Luffy, Zoro, Sanji, Ace, Sabo, Law, Kid
Genre: Fluff
CW: None // SFW
———
Luffy:
Don’t expect him to look the other way when you blow snot all over the place. He’ll laugh and even poke a little fun at you. One thing he won’t do is fuss over you. Sure, he’ll bring you something to eat, and he’ll tell you to get under the blanket if you’re so cold, but he won’t be a mother hen clucking. And it’s comforting, actually. If there’s one thing you can count on from Luffy, it’s for him to remain calm, and he does just that when you come down with a fever, showing up for you without smothering you.
Zoro:
He’s not very good at the nurturing gig. The main thing is that he doesn’t want you to think that he thinks you can’t handle yourself. But… well, he worries. He’s never seen you this way, and the fear of loss is never out of reach for him. He takes to hovering by the door with his arms folded over his chest, even lowering his head to rest his eyes but never once sitting down. It’s not even a conscious thing, him staying on his feet the entire time you’re sick; his instinct is just to protect you, and this is the way he knows.
Sanji:
Soup. Of course he’s going to make soup. And then he’s going to make more soup, so much soup that the entire crew will be eating soup for at least the next week. Sanji doesn’t know what else to do with himself. He has to keep himself busy, though, has to keep his hands moving, or else he’ll find himself in a dark place. Luckily, he knows he can place his faith in Chopper to nurse you back to health. In the meantime, though, he’s going to keep making soup because he knows the power of a good meal.
Ace:
He brushes it off so easily you would think he wasn’t worried- if you didn’t know him, that is. What hits him the hardest when you’re bedridden, though, is how much you take care of him, followed by a fear that he won’t reciprocate well enough and you’ll be cross with him. He never would have imagined his fear of abandonment would rear it’s ugly head at such a time, but there he is, sitting on the end of the bed feeling like his most precious treasure is about to slip through his fingers. He wants to run from it, but he manages to grab your hand and give you a smile, teasing you about your messy hair.
Sabo:
He babies you- the man who rarely picks up the transponder snail and usually hangs up in the middle of the call when he does, the man who can’t be damned to remember most people’s names, the man who seems so utterly blasé most of the time. He drags a damp cloth across your forehead, he takes your temperature every hour, he reads and rereads the label on the medicine you were given by the doctor to be sure you get the right dose at the right time and don’t show any of the adverse side effects listed.
Law:
You expect him to be gruff with you. After all, your boyfriend hasn’t struck you as a doctor famous for his bedside manner. That’s not to say he’s mean, he’s just not very sappy. But when you come down with a fever, you notice a line in his brow you’ve never seen before and quickly realize the depths of his worry. Law is more gentle with you than he’s ever been, even going so far as to quietly spoon feed you. And he holds you the entire time, any risks to his own health be damned.
Kid:
If you didn’t know him so well, you’d think he was mad at you, or at least trying to disturb your sleep because he doesn’t want you to rest. But he snapped at you to sleep in his bed, not your own, and when he comes into his cabin every fifteen minutes, you recognize his extra loud footsteps and irate muttering about you coughing all over his sheets as concern. Eventually, he sits in a chair by the bed with a hunk of metal in his hands that he fidgets with while he watches over you, barking at Killer to bring you something hot.
