grimbeaks thinkin ab seabound again

like. The others did kind of have a choice in staying as ninja- the way they break up after s3 proves that. Nya... kind of didn't. She got forced out of her role as samurai x, which was something she made for herself, an identity that she could quit at anytime, a secret identity that helped her escape being the "useless girl" of the group. Then she had to train to defeat the ghosts. Then escape Nadakhan. Then travel in time and save her parents. After all that, it was pretty obvious that she wasn't going to have a chance to leave.

Seabound was a choice for her, one she wanted to do. She didn't have to. They could have waited for help, or maybe just moved all together.

Nya chose to leave, she chose to save them all and became so much happier. It was clear that though some part of her was sad for having to leave her family, she was going to be much happier combining with Nyad.

Anyway, time for grimbeaks topic #2

Jay trying to figure out a way to bring her back while living in the lighthouse. He tries everything, maybe even contacting the other realms. He builds everything he can think of, maybe even asking Bentho to help.

Sea Nya meets him on the beach occasionally, asking why he keeps trying to bring her back.

that convo is for the fic i wanna write ab this now, but basically Jay doesn't think he deserves Nya back. He's doing it for Kai and the others, especially Kai, who's doing the whole underground fighting again, digging himself into a hole he's not going to be able to be pulled out of.

Jay's the reason she's dead, after all.

Pokeaniweek Day 5

Favorite relationship. 

I think we all know the answer to this. I have gushed more about Pokeshipping than literally any other thing in the universe (except maybe cupcakes, but none of you know that). I have spent most of my life trying to explain just how much I love them, with fics, with analysis and so many other things, that I wasn’t sure what to add today. So I have decided to share something I’ve been hoarding for decades. 

My playlist. 

(YT version)

It’s slightly embarrassing, it’s slightly dated, and it’s MASSIVE, so it’s going under a cut (in list form and with occasional commentary). But if you want to share in it, there are links. Enjoy!

My shorthand: RSG means “reverse singer gender” so the song is from the POV of Ash if a girl is singing or Misty if a guy is. (-) means the song is a fit for their relationship if it were to go negative
