#breath of the wild but pokemon

Gonna say this as someone who has been critical of Game Freak both as a fan and as someone with a Pokémon SPIN for a while now:

Do not support Palworld.

The CEO of Pocket Pair, the game’s studio, openly supports AI and even made a game where making AI-generated art is its main mechanic.

Palworld is not Pocket Pair’s first instance of plagiarism, either. Their previous game, Craftopia, plagiarizes Breath of the Wild, whereas as its upcoming game, Never Grave: The Witch and The Curse, plagiarizes from independent developer Team Cherry’s game, Hollow Knight.

On top of stolen character models and concepts from fakemon artists, it’s already known that you can put Pals through what is basically slave labor BUT what’s been recently discovered is that the game allows you to capture and sell humans. This has been raising some red flags for black gamers looking into these mechanics, me included, considering this factors into the established slave labor system of Palworld.

TL;DR: I completely understand being tired of Game Freak and the Pokémon Company’s lack of polish over the years, but supporting something that is just as devoid of polish and even more devoid of ingenuity is not the way to make those criticisms clearer. This will only encourage more soullessness in the industry.

I implore you to support other creature collectors with some real passion behind them; I will reblog this post with recommendations shortly!

Timeskipped Sidon, the hydro himbo 🌊

I did some research for Timeskip 2 as I was unsure if he'd be gigantic like King Dorephan (kind of like how some animals get huge when they become alpha/queen). In the end, there's no definite answer so my interpretation is that Sidon gets larger as a shark, but not exponentially so as a whale like Dorephan. If I'm wrong, oh well I tried. 😅

They’re obviously a couple, they go to cute dates together and they fight side by side to protect each other and their domains

Maxie isn’t a mad evil king of demons.

I had this idea in mind for months and finally I drew it lol

BotW/TotK boys taking care of you when you’re sick

big thank you to the students that live in the residence hall i work in for spreading their illness to me and giving me inspiration :')

i applaud you

Sidon

worries too much

sets aside his princely duties to be with you

Muzu is PISSED about it

but Sidon can’t focus when you’re ill

he’ll wrap you up in 1000 blankets if it helps you to stay warm

and he’s sure to give you lots of forehead kisses

he’s constantly asking how you’re feeling

and if you’re feeling worse, he’ll cradle you in his arms until you fall asleep

unless he feels that he just can’t put you down (which is very likely)

he reads to you, whether it be books; papers from Muzu about how mad he is; a news article; etc.

lots of “I love you”s

lots of cuddling

and when you feel better, he’s still taking an extra day to spend with you

Bazz

super busy with work, but will make time to take care of you

he’ll leave super sweet notes around the house for you to read while he’s away

and when he gets home, he will not let go of you for a moment

he’ll tell you all about his day

if he went on a survey, he’ll describe the scenery in detail

and maybe he’ll bring you back a little something (like a pebble or an interesting leaf)

he’ll constantly ask how you’re feeling

because he worries too much

if you’re still feeling bad on one of his days off, he’ll bring you soup in bed

he’ll let you lay your head on his chest all day, because he knows how much that puts you at ease

and when you fall asleep (because you know you will laying like that), he holds you a little tighter

when you feel better, he takes a day off to spend with you

but because he’s always overworking himself, he absolutely gets sick after you

and you have to MAKE him stay in bed 

Link

all he wants to do is lay with you

the way he wraps his arms around you makes you feel so safe and secure

he sleeps when you sleep, which is pretty much all day

and he cooks whatever you want to eat

he’ll bring food to you in bed

when you get bored, he’s your entertainment

he’ll find something for the both of you to do, whether it be read or playing little games

he’s soft

and so gentle 

he wants you to feel better so you can explore together

he’ll make TONS of elixirs for you to take

he’s so worried about you, though he shouldn’t be

when you start to feel better, he’ll lead you outside and you’ll both sit in the grass for HOURS

and when you’re ready, you’ll go exploring again

Revali

this bird does NOT like illness

at all

he disgusted

revolted

“You sound like a dying bird… I would know.”

but deep down, he feels bad for you

he’ll stay home with you, because he know’s you need him

and he’ll be his usual self… though a bit more helpful

he’s hesitant to hold you close, but he does anyway

and upon feeling just how warm you are, he’ll try to find something to reduce your fever

he keeps a bin FILLED with blankets just for you (because Rito’s Village gets very cold in the winter)

and you bet he’s going to wrap you in 3+ of them

though he hates to see you like this, he loves how snuggly you are when you get sick

he definitely has soft spot for cuddling with you

when you’re better, it takes him a bit to get back into his normal routine

and if he ends up getting sick…

just be ready 

Rivan

has the most experience with this due to being a dad

he will absolutely be staying home with you while you’re ill

“Bazz will get over it.” 

oh you bet he’s holding you so close, letting you lay your head on his chest

he gives you millions of forehead kisses

he’ll cook every meal

he lays cool, damp towels on your forehead to reduce your fever

and the cuddles are endless

he cleans/does household chores while you sleep (if he’s not holding you)

he finds fun things to do with you around the house if you’re up for it

and if it’s warm enough, he’ll take you outside for fresh air (but only if you’re okay with it)

he gets you water every hour or so

as well as a snack if you haven’t eaten in a bit

he’s so gentle and kind

and when you feel better, he’s back to work 

“I kind of wish I was sick now, just so I can stay home with you…”
