from @raitnrong i would rep this normally but ur making me ss your tags
ultimately i still stand by my point (argumentation? less so i. wish i phrased 100% of my post better) but i really do like!!! seeing counterpoints and seeing other thoughts on this, ultimately its a silly pokemon game & there's no right answer but the one you believe <3 but i do love discussing these things so i will DO that under cut because i went off again sorry (granted, only like two paragraphs, but still, like two paragraphs,)
i debate this with LOVE IN MY HEART VERY GENUINELY i love talking do you know this. you dont know me but thats besides the point. but yes on the I HATE HOW I PUT MY ARGUMENT IN THAT POST GOOD LORD!! i definitely think i put a lot of incorrect emphasis on it being Geeta specifically or at least let it come off that way rather than the system itself, there's no good cops theres no good landlords theres no good bosses, and unfortunately geeta is the boss. which comes to a more positional thing than a personal thing. geeta isnt a bad PERSON so much (i personally get red flags just through my past experience of a boss who outwardly acted very similarly and was crud behind the scene but that's. me.) she is just in an inherent position of power which regardless of personal intent comes with that inherent dynamic. capitalism sucks etc etc.
which is a different argument ENTIRELY from my og post because i did not phrase anything right sory
i do find one tandem idea REALLY interesting with this though. i think it would be interesting if they DID have that rivalry theory before, and geeta does genuinely think she is helping larry out and helping him reach greater heights. but larry just. doesnt WANT to be helped. and geeta keeps trying to push that potential and all. geeta sees something in him, a strong and potentially passionate trainer who refuses to accept that. but geeta is, inherently in a more powerful position. and larry just really has passions elsewhere. he might be Good at pokemon battling but thats not what he wants to Do. so when geeta is trying to push him into a nonexistent passion etc etc conflict of interest and imbalance of dynamic have fun with that one fic writers.
i just think its interesting to focus on neither being in the wrong just being in an unhealthy relationship to dynamic because of their different views on life and pokemon battling leading to a frustrating unstoppable force immovable object relationship. i just think its neat.
ok so larry and geeta
i really hate to rag on a character other people like for my own blorbo so uh, geeta fans i am so so sorry i would recommend skipping this post, i doubt its actually this deep </3 you are allowed to like her prommy
ok but ACtual analysis time, what the FUCK is up with larry and geeta (people who have never had a shitty two faced boss before ask. /j)
larry expresses anti institutional ideologies a lot, he wants to do things outside the system hes in will allow. he expresses a lot of negativity about his position, a lot of remarks which could rock the boat. which they HAVE with the amount of people now realizing most gym leaders have second jobs. and the system might! be kinda fucked! and deal shitty pay and is just kinda a whole gimmick of an industry in the whole universe. and larry sorta points directly at that, when he actively complains about Having to be a gym leader, Having to be an e4 member.
Geeta in this position would fucking hate Larrys guts! and would also point to her just quietly not saying anything when the player likes larry most. Because Geeta doesnt just dislike larry in this position. Geeta dislikes the ideals hes lowkey pioneering here. And when the player likes larry, its like the player is siding with larry. The player believes hes in the right, not Geeta, and it directly pits the player and Geeta at odds, in a very quiet way.
Geeta cant say shit. Geeta has to keep up the appearance of one big happy league full of amazing, positive members and they're all strong and etc etc. She keeps the facade of the entire league. Whether she genuinely loves the league or not, she has to keep an incredibly dedicated face up about the view of the league. But this same rule doesn't apply in private. The gym leaders, her workers have to keep that facade also, especially with Geeta, but Geeta doesnt have to give them that same light of day. Geeta can do whatever she wants, and the gym leaders just kinda have to deal with it.
i very much believe geeta and larrys relationship proposes this really. really sad idea. because geeta is larrys boss, and they. really dont like eachother! and geeta has. power. larry is afraid she will "dock his pay" for chitchat. but really it comes down to his chit chat going against the status quo, the status quo which Geeta benefits from. And ultimately, she does have the power to dock him for chit chat. She can rob him for being honest. And while Geeta's true treatment of the gym leaders as a manager will probably remain unknown, Larry's existence really offers the idea that it's probably not a great role.
Larry is not special. And thats the problem. Hes not breaking ass to go all out on a cute gimmick, hes not loving the institution as much as everyone else is to the point of doing more than its worth. Hes just doing the bare minimum to get by. Actively complains about his job, which for people in the right spheres it could seem like a huge deal to be a gym leader, and an elite four member. like bro! thats awesome! you just get to do pokemon battles all day! but really its not. once you live in the system, and you get sick enough of it, it loses its luster, and you realize that its just another grind, dodging pay cuts, trying to please the right people and constantly bust ass just to pay for the rent on your apartment and maybe groceries.
Larry is a pawn in the same system as everyone else. Geeta needs larry to be special. But he wont be. And Geeta doesn't take well to that.
Thats why hes the exceptional ordinary man. His ordinariness is what makes him the exception.

Oh and another thing about shifting I forgot to mention!
These people believe in the theory of multiverse and that there's a ' you' in every universe, real or fictional, not only ' one' you , but multiples ' you' and when you ' shift ' you kick out the other you so you can replace them in that realty.
This sounds messed up because it would mean that you posses the body of another ' person ' without their permission. This theory was fucked up since the beginning, but even if it was true, it's messed up.
Another point where their logic falls apart is that it seems you have absolute control over what's happening to you, as if the rules of that ' universe ' suddenly do not apply to you because you ' shifted ' . You are able to do and undo stuff, script your experiences... gosh I swear is so dumb. You're just imaging shit with extra extra steps and fancy physics words thrown in there.
Logically, if you ' take on' the body of your DR , you are them, therefore subscribe to the rules of that specific universe , you basically become them, so you shouldn't have any power to change that reality. Considering the fact that people ' shifit ' to mystical and magical worlds where magic is something ordinary, and to us that isn't, it makes so little sense that they are suddenly some sort if God able to warp the realty of that ' universe '.
Oh, the attitudes these people have are so messed up!
Like, they think that they're visiting actual other worlds full of actual real people, and believe that they are entitled to exercise godlike power over them. They don't see anything wrong with completely overriding other people's free will and agency in the pursuit of their own personal happiness.
Like IDK, just because you can kill a guy and bring him back to life after with his memories totally wiped... does that really mean you should??? Literally how is it remotely humane to treat people like puppets or NPCs like this?
I really hope the way they act in their DRs means that deep down, they know it's not actually real, and not that it could ever be okay to treat real people like this.
And like, it would just be so, so easy to admit that reality shifting is all in your imagination, because it literally works exactly like a dream or trance visualization that you are exercising conscious control of. But no, people can't just be like "oh I'm visualizing me and my blorbos in situations and putting them in my dreams for fun," they're like "oh I'm committing hundreds of human rights violations on a daily basis for fun."
