Furby Friend Scriptwriter: Elise Allen

Elise Allen wrote lines for a "Pikachu Furby" and "E.T. Furby", (Interactive Pikachu and E.T., I assume) and it seems she was going to work on Interactive Mike & Sully. This is mentioned in episode 4 of a podcast series called "Typin' Toons", which features an interview with Elise:

-------

27:40-32:05

"The Furby scripts. They're like 100 pages long and it's all charts because you have to track what they're learning along the way. If you pressed E.T.'s hand just once, he might just say 'Ouch'. "

"I did an E.T. Furby, I did a Pikachu Furby, you'd be amazed how many ways you can say 'Pikachu'. Because I mean, there's 'Pik', there's 'Pika'. Like, this is Pikachu. There are some cool things that came out of that, too, because I was gonna write a Mike & Sully one, and they flew me up to Pixar to see an early screening of Monsters Inc., where they still had scratch voices… and they had me create my own version of Furbish."

"They wanted to do a really super special Furby. It was going to be called a Mee-Wah. So he started only speaking his own language, and then wound up learning English… Charts and charts and charts, along this way, I got a new agent who was wonderful and basically was asking me, 'What do you really respond to?'. And I said, my favorite thing, ever, ever in the universe are the muppets..."

From an article (archived):

"Since then, I’ve had all kinds of random writing jobs, from the heady (a prime time sitcom where they feed you incessantly and give you high-priced electronics for Christmas presents!) to the hilarious (100 pages of dialogue to be programmed into a Furby… most of it written in Furbish!)."

I love and adore Alicent Hightower but baby, “My son has lost an eye…Over an insult? 🥺🥺”

sweetie you have been trying to leverage one of your culture’s greatest, most shameful taboos with anyone who will listen to get your ex crush/bff and her (v likely illegitimate tbf) sons disinherited for nearly ten years??

Now all of a sudden questioning someone’s legitimacy is nbd? Just ‘an insult’? Really? You’ve just been in a silly goofy mood for ten years? Bit of harmless name-calling was it?

Obviously a kids’ fight should never have escalated to someone losing an eye, because the children had no business being party to whatever political nonsense/family drama was going on. But the boys coming to blows over this was fairly predictable, especially as they got older. Babe, you actively chose to alienate your sons from their nephews in that way when you live in a culture where duels to the literal death over offended honour is a thing??? Where trial-by-combat is a 100% legit legal tactic?

Driftmark witnessed some truly audacious attempts at gaslighting that night but ALICENT REALLY

tl;dr Alicent lit the fuse on the Hightower v Velaryon/Strong kids conflict, she just didn’t intend for that particular bomb to go off so soon, or think that it would blow up in her son’s faces (much less that uh…literally)

Interactive Pikachu listing from the Argos Catalog!

"The Interactive Pikachu toy was priced at £23.75 in the A/W 2000 catalogues of both Argos and Littlewoods. This is significant because it is not the original RRP nor a natural price point (such as £23.99), but the price which both Argos and Littlewoods arrived at by communication through Hasbro."

Info Source

I'm sooo happy rn. The Pikachu here is listed for £23.75, as the source mentions. This is from the Autumn/Winter Argos catalog.

Odd thing is, the Pikachu shown here looks like an "I Choose You Pikachu" instead, which is from 1999. Maybe they used the wrong image?? No idea... A better quality scan of this page would be appreciated.

Screenshots from here.

randomly thinking about pikachu's popularity as a mascot but also like in-universe imagining how many little kids would see ash and pikachu win the world championships and decide that they simply Must have a pikachu. you could take this from the angle of like, ash's championship win indirectly dramatically changes the viridian forest ecosystem and other pikachu habitats, but also, imagine how many young trainers + pikachu partners ash starts encountering on his journeys after that who are all clearly awestruck by him. i like to think he would be like "huh weird we've been battling a lot of pikachu lately" and not make the connection that this is His Impact

i'm OBSESSED with this concept and if i had more time/energy i would have immediately written a fic when you sent this because it's so funny to me but alas :p but i'm seeing this with like...all of the above implications like

ash visiting home sometime down the road and crossing paths with gary or tracey maybe, who is/are currently trying to figure out why there's a sudden influx of rattata in the viridian forest area. ash might even help them investigate a bit, you know, 'cause he's helpful like that. he doesn't get the implications. he hears "pikachu and rattata don't tend to make their homes in the same areas" and thinks the reason rattata are popping up suddenly is just that they've gotten over some territorial difference. "i mean obviously there are still pikachu in the forest - we just fought like three of them!"

so he leaves his friends at the oak laboratory absolutely flabbergasted and moves on. he keeps seeing trainers with pikachu, which is great. they ask for a battle and he obliges and it never even registers to him the starstruck look in those trainers' eyes has anything to do with him. he's just like, yeah my buddy's great, isn't he? your pikachu's great too! keep training! :)

when he hears from misty about all these new gym challengers with pikachu, he doesn't think too much about it. i mean, come on, it's a water-type gym. of course they're gonna bring an electric type. when he hears from brock that his brother said the same thing is happening in pewter city, well, that's just new trainers trying to think outside the box. forrest is probably exaggerating a bit anyway, maybe he's just embarrassed that his rock types got beaten by a pikachu? there are simply no dots to connect

of course, this isn't only happening in kanto, though. he hears from cilan about seeing more pikachu than usual in unova, a concerning trend considering pikachu aren't exactly native to the region. ash figures it's just more visitors from outside regions, like he was. it's so cool to see more people embracing inter-region travel! that's probably the one thing he does know he motivated others to do - i mean, surely being the kanto-native champion of alola would inspire a few trainers out there to tackle far-off leagues of their own? he inspired his friends to do it, so it's only fair that trainers who caught his big championship win on tv might have felt similarly!

except he's got the whole thing wrong, of course. one of his more research-oriented friends (i'm betting sophocles) has absolutely been crunching numbers and can 100% confirm that new trainers taking on the league challenge in most regions are about 20457x more likely to have a pikachu in their active roster this year than any year before. ash doesn't have a response to that one, because he's simply too baffled by the metrics of this study to digest the implications of it. he's really hung up on the idea that somehow sophocles met all these people as opposed to acknowledging the more likely scenario that he hacked into the league's database, because how would he even do that? ash isn't thinking about ethics or anything. he's just wondering how he can meet all these trainers too because he'd really like to battle them all, wow!

so basically, everyone else has figured it out...except for ash. he keeps getting approached by strangers asking him about training methods specific to pikachu, which he has no answer for other than "uhh rubber gloves don't really work i guess?" (and then ofc he'd say something very Ash about how no matter what kind of pokemon you're training you just have to believe in them etc etc) because the thing all those people don't realize is he never set out to train a pikachu in the first place. arguably, his pikachu trained him. and that pikachu? absolutely knows what's going on, and finds it hilarious. but he won't tell ash. he's having fun meeting all these different pikachu, anyway :p

Trick or treat!!

(when you get these asks, you can respond with something you consider a treat like a picture of candy or cool drawing, or a trick like a spooky picture or smth idk)

Hi! I‘m new to this so idk what counts as a trick or a treat but I‘m guessing some art counts too… anyways, I know you like pokemons so you get a badly drawn pokemon by yours truly!

I‘m choosing… TRICK!! (not-so-scary art coming through!)

Thought your profile picture was pretty scary, so I drew that!

OoOooOoooOooOoOoOoO

@khalesci asked: ❝ I don’t mind it.. In fact I’d be rather grateful if you could keep his . . . attention. ❞ (sariah)

There   is   a   short   pause   as   Sariah   considers   the   Queen's   words.   A   moment   of   silent   pauses.   It   was   no   secret   her   role   in   the   court,   less   so   her   place   in   the   man's   bed,   but   now   that   he   was   wed,   one   would   figure   that   a   wife   would   want   their   husband's   attention   to   them,   much   more   if   an   heir   is   to   be   produced.   "Are   you   certain?   All   of   his   energy   does   seem   to   go   to   me   instead   of.   .   .you,   Your   Grace.   And   you   are   his   wife.   Truly,   he   is   not   a   bad   lover.   He   is   just.   .   .tired."

  She   laughs   briefly   at   that,   he   often   goes   from   her   bed   to   the   queen's   bed   that   to   be   fair,   seems   like   an   insult   to   the   queen   in   her   eyes   but   now   she   is   being   asked   to   keep   him   distracted.   "Have   you   found   a   lover   of   your   own?"   She   asks   in   turn,   which   was   a   common   thing.   Sharing   a   bed   only   when   needed   but   Sariah   is   surprised   she   is   not   being   disregarded   from   the   palace.
