No "see results" bc I want an answer lol, if you don't know them just go with the vibes.
I know these aren't all of them but these are the ones I want to watch (at least for now).
When I was little I watched XY, XYZ and Sun & Moon. I watched a little bit of indigo league but I started when I was leaving my pokemon phase so I didn't get through much.
I want to watch indigo league because it's the original, I want to watch xy because I loved it as a kid, I want to watch sun & moon because (from what I remember) I loved the plot and overall setting, I basically only want to watch black & white because I want to know more about N (he seems interesting)
#pokemon#pokemon indigo league#pokemon xy#pokemon sun and moon#pokemon black and white#pokemon series#ash ketchum#pikachu#team rocket#bc they're the real main characters#had a crush on both of them tbh. they were the only villains i liked as a kid and i had a small identity crisis bc i felt bad#thought i was evil lmao. tirns out i was just 6 and experiencing rational thinking for the first time#also i really hated ash. that was probably a part of it. he annoyed me so badly.#and i was like the most annoying kid ever. still hate him tbh why couldnt team rocket be the mcs#you've scrolled too far stop reading this#tumblr polls#pokemon polls

Okay. Since we're going over all the takes on Mr. X at this point.. What if his powers really don't have a backside. What if (the state of) his normal life is the backside.
What if his normal life is akin to that of heroes where he has to pretend to be something he's not and follow rules that the people who control his life came up with to further their own goals. What if he can only be free of other people's beliefs and expectations when he's a hero.
What if in reality he truly is like everyone else. The other heroes. The ordinary people. All those who work themselves to the bone, who are tired and overworked and sick of all the exploitation...
What if when he's in the form of the number one hero.. when he becomes the most sought after product on the hero market..
Is when he gains the freedom to truly be himself
#to be hero x#tbhx#hero x#considering one of the first things they revealed to us in the trailers was that he's a white-collar worker...#we definitely need to think about that if we wanna try to predict / guess what he's actually like#this thing feels very lin ling coded but lin ling is tbhx coded (introduction to the main themes of the show)#so I feel like my best prediction rn is that he's actually the other side of the same damn coin#(cue the coin flip clip from the opening *coughs*)#I think from a writing perspective the whole downside thing is based on a characters perception#so if the writers make us think that X is an omnipresent all powerful god#then it just makes sense to reverse it by revealing that the opposite is equally as true#and then he'd have an even stronger incentive to want to break the system cuz both of his lives would've been defined by exploitation#maybe not the bright side of X (at least not after he became No. 1) but I don't think being the best product makes him no longer a product#ACTUALLY#“bright side” was supposed to refer to his hero identity bc of the black & white switch he has going on but#yeah calling his normal self the “dark side of X” would definitely reinforce the idea that it's the not so good parts he hides#and we've not much of normal X yet (other than his sugar stealing. you go boy exploit the company back for sugar. I believe in you) but!#we all know there's darker times coming. right.#I don't think they're gonna reveal his normal life to have a sad backstory or Idk (there's gonna be enough of that elsewhere anyways haha)#but we've definitely only seen the top of the iceberg for now#btw yes I do think capitalism & the CEOs are gonna be the real villains#and X is probably playing their game to win#yes all along you were reading my “X is actually anti-capitalist” propaganda#we're gonna go free heroes (at a cost) :))#ice demon talks#tbhx theories#tbhx analysis

don't know how people multi-fandom. dipped my toe into another one and immediately backed out bc everyone there was insufferable.
#ok i do know how ppl do it. the secret is having other moots in those fandoms#but i am an analysis and yapper girlie and reading the majority of y*ellowj*ckets takes are driving me up a WALL#[sorry y*llowj*ckets fandom rant starts here. tags contain spoilers for the s3 finale]#like i've lurked on the reddit and so many ppl there are dumb as rocks they don't even realize when a MAJOR PLOT POINT happens#but there are also some good takes on there once in a blue moon#and i enjoy how it's The Norm to call ppl out for being dumb as rocks abt things lmao. i love the argumentative nature of it#even tho i don't post there#on here tho? you get more nuanced takes but then you also get like 95% of the fandom who are blinded in various directions over their faves#and their rarepair / random ships. (and god forbid you express disliking a character. for valid reasons!)#and half of the fandom thinks everything they personally don't like / understand is Bad Writing#and another sizable part of the fandom is constantly chanting 'they're all bad! just pick ur fave and go!' whenever anyone wants to have#and nuanced discussion abt character morals / motivations or dares suggest that some of them are indeed less morally corrupt than others#a bunch of ppl are disappointed that they didn't get to see ALL the girls go feral and become 'crazy cannibals'#in the specific way they were imagining it would go from the pilot now that their time in the wilderness is pretty much up#EYE on the other hand enjoy the fact that most of the girls never truly descended to that level. never truly gave in to the wilderness#there have been moments for all of them sure. but in the end when it came down to the pit girl scene? the reality is most weren't into it#at all. the only ones who were really giving in were sh*na and l*ttie but everyone else was distraught over m*ri's death.#even with other characters using the hunt to conspire to take out sh*na l*ttie and possible t*issa like. in the end NONE of them could#go thru with it. which i think SAYS SOMETHING abt their character#sure they can plot all they want but when it came down to it m*lissa couldn't finish the job#and ahk*la realized that killing l*ttie in the caves would let IT in and change her forever so she backed down#ANYWAYS. just needed to Vent lol#maybe i will make this all a real post later lol (on my main bc that's where i post / rb yj content)

Your swsh art always makes me want to replay the game because i love it and its my favorite pokemon game and every time i play another pokemon game i think of it how i miss certain elements from swsh. Then i boot up the game and im once again caught in the 1 hour 40 minutes hand held intro and im like ah- now i remember why i have been playing other pokemon games instead of this one. Happy (late?) birthday!
you don't want to listen to hop? you don't want to hear him teach you about type matchups? you don't wanna let him cheer u on...? 🥺 waa....?
#ask#bakuspeech#I am joking to be clear lmao#thank u happy bday to me !!#tbh I got real used to pokemon overexpositioning since sumo lol. it's kind of a boon for me#cause I'm not a Gamer™ and my brain takes stuff on Very slowly#so the tutorial stuff and the cutscenes give me time to catch up. also it's still fun to see these guys run around#I am in fact here for these guys lol. weird thing to say about the game built on and with an essential focus on the pokemon I know#I just like humans! I just like watching hop running circles around my player character all excited#and leon being a dick to his hometown people when they're expecting 'leon' back and they get the champion instead#and you get to see sonia used to dealing with it but the frustration never fully fades and how close she is to hop and that picture's bleak#listen this is my bread&butter lol. leon really doesn't show up That much himself around the game he's a shadow casted over the story#it's always interesting to me! does Not mean it's not sluggish to other people who want to play the game lmao#but I like it. also the tutorial at least the first time around was necessary to me bc the difficulty scales way up later on lol#it's a very good first pokemon game I maintain this. sumo never managed to teach me the same way swsh did#I still care drampa tho thank u drampa for being real I love u#lmao it feels like saying I'm not a Gamer™ violates some tenets of having adhd somehow. but its just the case here#the main genres I play are 'itch games tangential to the haunted ps1 people' and 'popcap-style casual games'#my sport's figuring out shapes n movin my stylus sadly. well not sadly why would that be sad

noticing a pattern in my writing/OCs of 'monster that preys on people pretending to be human/human-adjacent'. i mean it's not the first time i've noticed but i've been thinking about three of them recently so like. a pattern.
#there's zenith and achlys#then ivan in the original monster god au#no longer applies to casimir in that translation b/c he's open about the monster thing#glancing through my oc list to see if this has happened before#i don't think jay counts. he's like... demi-human which isn't a people-eating species. he's just fucked up#narissa from pbjverse might count. she's a succubus. and skylar for the same reason.#pbjverse just is gonna have that by nature of the 'monsters are real' thing as the main feature.#same with somaverse.#we just don't have other established characters that follow this pattern in those verses yet#wait. corona and lucan. they're in pbjverse. i forgot. same species as casimir but masking as human.#darion and seraphim from an unnamed fantasy verse i may or may not merge with tehahsverse#they both fit the bill. former humans turned into creatures that feed off emotions. both pretending to still be human.#so seven total plus jay as questionable.#au versions of characters like god au ivan... if i count them there's. more.#bc then i'd have to look through all the vampire AUs#* eight. eight total. i missed skylar.#eight established at least. potential for more in somaverse and pbjverse.#if it's just 'monster that preys on people' full-stop then. uh. There's More.#hang on#15 plus jay established. way more potential in somaverse and pbjverse.#but i feel like the 'pretending to Not' is important y'know. we don't worry about the rest of them.#i like the 'hello fellow human(oids)' aspect! it's fun!!#also before i finish this post just noting i'm amused at 'plus jay'#not a monster TECHNICALLY. metaphorically? absolutely.#he just doesn't have the 'i'm wired this way i can't help what i need to eat' excuse#he chose this lmao

while i think it's fair to worry about how much they're going to change certain stuff, i also think there's Way too much doomposting surrounding bg3's changes in characterisation
#'they changed lae'zel' its literally a greeting.#which changes w different levels of affinity#and according to what i've read it was always in the game files but wasn't working?#she's pretty much still the same in the main plot and in her romance#and the whole thing w gale being more lenient about the magic items is literally bc he would leave if you closed the inventory#without giving him anything#like literally the only real change in characterisation that i've seen has been astarion and his opinion on the mizora thing#that and the gortash gay letters that were changed#other than that the changes have only added scenes (mostly related to epilogue stuff which may have felt lacking at first) and fixed bugs#i will also say that wyll's part in all of this has been Very lacking because he truly needs more content in comparison to astarion#but if they're willing to listen to fans? maybe they Will add stuff?#and about the added lines to the gortash scene.... adding more dialogue options is Not changing the characterisation of a character#it's literally giving you more options. if you don't like them you can literally NOT press the button#OH. i've just remembered. halsin's new thing. not going romantic on you if you didn't flirt with him#that's also another characterisation change i noticed. but that's a coherent one#if you didn't flirt with halsin why would he. yk.#anyways. i'm seeing too much doomposting. worrying about this is normal but people are being so pessimistic#mona.txt

my god lingsha's design is so ass. my god
#personal stuff#seraph plays star rail#main takeaways from this quest r designs i'm not a fan of. and weird fucking dialogue#what the hell was march talking about with that giant mech line. i have literally no idea what she was referring to#also yanqing going ''oh i forgot to ask yunli to return my sword'' ?? he did. he literally did. it didn't end well but he didn't Forget. wh#also like. maybe i'm just petty but the facial expressions in conversation#you guys can't have this serious conversation return to a more solemn default expression?#why are you guys smiling talking abt tingyun's ship crashing and everyone dying. come on#but god yeah lingsha's design is just not hitting for me. i wanted to be excited since she's based off of nuwa but like goddddddd#it's bad. the situation is dire.#also having a literal Snake abundance character who has an interest in the arbor. they're like okay we didn't set up tingyun well enough#let's try this shit again.#i guess?? otherwise why make her Like That and crank that shit up to an eleven#okay i am enjoying feixiao's design a bit more#but like my god. some weird lines from her for real#the whole ''yeah i made up a new title for myself'' just felt so cringe. maybe bc i'd already seen the line and didn't need to see it twice#also yeaaah let's repeat my backstory dramatically to these two people who already know me. ??#okay ruan mei is resurrecting tingyun i guess. cool#thinks mournfully about gallagher and misha.#but yeah i AM enjoying the yanqing moments. he's my little guy#also huaiyan's big anime sparkle eyes are very funny to me.#OKAY OKAY. second half of this quest was quite good.#i liked the little expedition w yanqing yunli and march. good setup of tension#and then everything from there to the end i enjoyed. i liked seeing hanya and xueyi again even if the circumstances were. well#and dan heng's interactions w the trailblazer in the shackling prison waa. waaaaaa.

#rnn.img#tirtenian#digital art#character design#furry#char: root#Root is one of the few characters I messed with body construction for in a way that actually showed a difference ajdhddh#she's meant to be big. huge. imposing#even tho she's shorter than Checksum she gives off the vibe of being giant in isolation#wild how making her shoulders way too high did that#spiderverse kingpin lookin ass#main change here was adding some markings + altering some colors#I wanted all of the admins to have 6 colors but so far that's been a challenge#I've been doin em in pairs lately and did Root at the same time as Sketch which means that the only ones left are the ferals#I'm keeping everybody to scale and just cropping the ref so I don't have to redraw them for the lineup#which is gonna make drawing the ferals real interesting bc they're tiny

I keep thinking abt this one post on r/letterboxd where op was like "why are so many reviews for movies w two male friends always 'they should kiss' 'they're husbands' 'they're gay' etc. There should be real reviews and men should be allowed to be friends."
I keep forgetting that people genuinely use letterboxd for actual film review/critique, I just use it as a way to keep track of what movies I've watched and to see silly comments(if I want to read more constructive reviews, I'll go to the reddit post for the movie.) And also dying bcs I have written at least 5 reviews that are something along the lines of "they should've kissed!"
#i will never understand why straight people get offended????#like seriously dude how does people shipping two same sex characters#or even just commenting that they felt there were romantic/sexual undertones#even remotely affect you??#the majority of people probably dont even mention that kinda thing so just let me have fun dude 😭😭#maybe im tired abt how many movie characters are presumed straight! maybe i assume every character is queer!!#<- no but seriously. like if you presume every chara is straight bcs thats your pov. my pov is different!#like when they try to say '[blank] isnt gay! theres no proof' well is there proof they're completely straight hm 🤨#but anyways idk when i go on r/letterboxd i realize me and some people are using that site in completely different ways#for most films the top reviews are snappy comments so is that not the point??#but. main point. how people perceive a film or a characters' dynamics shouldnt offend you so much#its okay if you see them differently. i assure you that a small amnt of people calling them gay on the internet +#wont affect real same sex friendships 😭#catie.rambling.txt

as much as i love galar and have a soft spot for its story... it would've been a lot more interesting if it was an anti-monarchy story instead the weirdly dismissive climate crisis allegory we got.
#galar is kinda similar to alola to me where i love the characters and their arcs... but their central themes are a lil iffy to me#especially when you compare them to what real life events they're analogous to#like the main characters being so dismissive of the wellbeing of those in the future is just... weird? how am i supposed to root for that??#''oh it's a millennium away and won't effect me personally so why should i care?'' GIRL???#also let's be real a millennium is just an estimate who knows how long the research on the solutions would take#and then when you find the solution how will it take to implement it? what happens if that timeline is shortened?#what if ppl push back against that solution bc they aren't convinced it'll help or if it's even necessary?#a millennium isn't a guarantee so why push it off until it's too late? do want the future generations to look back on you w/ scorn?#rose should've hired me to convince these ppl to take the energy crisis seriously i could've done it#okay now i've got ideas brewing a swsh rewrite might be coming#pokemon#pkmn swsh#mj.txt

thinking about this post going around talking about re-reading classics once you're older
I wonder if I can stomach Stephen King's absolute jackass way of talking now. I remember opening the Dark Tower and he was talking about himself for ten pages in the intro I wanted to throw the book by the window before even reaching the actual story
same with the Elric series, I really wanted to get into it but after ten pages I was seething with rage I wanted to jump in there and kill Elric with my two bare hands for being such a mirror of the author's jackass world view
#review on books : I hate how you perceive people and the world around you. die.#babbles blabbles#I can't stand edgy individualism from authors who think they're the main character actually#there's another genre of books I can't stomach#it's when characters are tropes#these are not people these are tropes#that's the worst feeling I can get from any piece of media#bc it makes me wonder if the author really doesn't see what makes people people in real life

so all this time you can pet gryphon fledglings but only in the f****** coral aerie why does zenimax online studios hate me personally
#tbd#zos: mythic items tied to coral aerie / me: i sleep // zos: pet gryphons in coral aerie / me: real shit#can't wait for the day there's a real gryphon mount but its locked behind 4890545 trials + setting your pc on fire#i ask you do you really think only ppl who wanna speedrun through dlc dungeons want to pet the animals#fae plays eso#i'm mad bc the one character NEED to do this on is the one with the sub-optimal build#bc I use my main just to do whatever and have a good time w/ story#I'd be less annoyed if companions weren't useless but i cannot imagine doing a harder dungeon w/ them bc#when they're not dying instantly they're aggroing the boss and roll dodging into a reset#like they die to the public dungeons#can't

Controversial statement since I know it's super popular (at least on booktok for whatever that's worth) but I finished Acotar and it was mid
#spoilers in the tags#idk man there were so many interesting directions I thought it could go and it didn't go for any of them#love interest is generic to the point of having 0 character#monstrous characters quickly have their monstrosity sanded down to be more palatable#nothing really Faerie and Other about the faeries despite teasing it constantly‚ they're just hot immortal humans who can shapeshift#but this is mostly used to give the love interest wolverinesque claws that poke out when he's mad#cool magic sickness plot that ends up being generic evil lady#interesting backstory for her and her motives but very one note as a character#idk man#it just felt like there was so many cool concepts and set pieces and characters that the plot teased and then did nothing with#i liked feyre at first and then they had her play house so long she lost what i liked about her character#but she got it back in the end like yes please gimme more of her being feral and ruthless and spiteful but still kind and compassionate#she was the only character they i felt got to have real depth#even rhysand started to lose his edge towards the end#which is a shame bc i loved watching him be a fucking asshole with his own agenda#but towards the end he starting getting nice and helpful#which your morally grey characters can do of course#it just happened so quickly that it was disappointing#idk all in all i didn't dislike the book#i really enjoyed the last bit even#it just didn't feel like it lived up to it's potential and came across feeling a bit bland and generic#not letting y'all reblog this or tagging it in the main tags bc I'm not trying to get harrassed lol#sigh i gotta find a way to say this to the friends that like this and were happy i was reading it without sounding mean 😭#i didn't dislike it really it just wasn't my cup of tea

I'm not done watching kill la kill yet but somehow, despite it all, it is absolutely incredible
#and by it all i mostly mean the fanservice#im picky with what i watch including anime bc i don't watch a lot#and 'fanservice' is often blatantly sexist. distracting from the plot. like tarantino and his toes right. but this show#MAN#the men get more intentional played as fanservice bits. and the main characters are all women. and they're COMPLEX! REAL! they have depth!!!#even mako the comedy side character she has growth!#and the animation is mind blowing and the plot is so compelling#revenge from the start. but it's a mystery. and it's coming of age. and it's fighting action. AND THE ACTION!!!

I think the reason why i personally prefer older media (like quantum leap) is that so many modern shows, despite having more directly stated queer and neurodivergent characters/stories, have those stories feel so sanitized and made to be palatable for a cishet neurotypical audience that they become entirely unrelatable for me personally. Older media that can be viewed through a queer or neurodivergent lens often feels better and more messy and more realistic, because queer and neurodivergent life is not sanitized and fully politically correct, its messy and strange and queer/neurodivergent people are not always good people, they can be morally grey or horrible just like anyone else. It feels like media of the past decade specifically tends to forget those facts. Media that didnt (or couldnt) directly state the characters as queer/neurodivergent doesn't seem like it absolutely has to ascribe morals to the character in a way that ascribes morals to that trait.
Quantum leap rocks because it went to places today's woke but politically correct shows would not dare in a million years
#this is kinda just a semi related yap lmao not really all that relevant to the show (on a rb bc of the coherent length)#im just likin it so far bc of the more messy and real situations.#also my friend mainly got me into it by saying that it was older scifi with the main characters lowkey in love with each other#so you can see what my tastes in media are like#also for the neurodivergent bit#im just annoyed by the ways that a lot of traits/disorders aren't attempted nowadays bc they're the 'scary' ones#ex: low empathy or paranoia or systems or delusions or hallucinations ect.#or in the few cases it is its either super stigmatized or super sanitized and educational#I think i just want representation that already assumes the viewer can relate#rather than assuming the viewer needs to learn about the identity in the first place#and its also the most textbook version of the symptom instead of anything a real person experiences#but again not really relevant to quantum leap#literally just wanted to yap#also im only like 5 episodes in lmao
