Let's Find Pokemon

Illustrated by Kazunori Aihara

[pokehexdex]

Does anyone else remember Diglett's Cave from the Let's Find Pokémon books in 2000? I still have the first 3 books, and this was one of my fave pages because of how mazelike the tunnels are! Comment below if this gives you major nostalgia! https://pokehexdex.wordpress.com/0050/01/01/diglett/

My ideal autism escapism paradise is a world where all my ocs and “copyrighted” characters are all friends in the same little world. They are all me and also my friends at the same time. A little tableau of playing creatures on a playground that I can project myself into, and for others that seek similar comforts to project themselves into. If I can’t be a cartoon animal eating berries in a lush green field, then I will do the next best thing and create drawings of my little brain utopias.

Posted below are examples below of art I made that represents this paradise for me.

Take my paw. Create and enjoy silly art with me. Reject insecurity and embrace indulgence.

This takes place pretty much directly after the previous one. A little less eventful, but still important~

(We finally get some evidence of Randy eating on-screen lol!)

Ngl at first I was slightly disappointed when it was revealed that amethio couldn’t really remember his mother, but i’ve thought about it a lot and it really adds to the tragedy which is amethio’s life.

I have a feeling that whilst he can’t recall specific memories of her, he can recall the fact he was happy with her and can even see it in the photos in his home. He can ever so faintly recall what a happy family home is supposed to feel like and has spent years desperately trying to get it back.

And that just makes his current state all the more harrowing to me. His relationship with Crave is obviously very strained, to the point where he doesn’t even consider Crave having a hand in raising him. Crave doesn’t look at him, and prioritises his work over him… I think Amethio decided from a young age that chasing after his father’s love was a lost cause.

Which is what leads him directly to Gibeon. Gibeon is the only other blood relative that Amethio seems to be aware of. And whilst we’ve seen that Gibeon is very cold towards amethio, there is still the potential for amethio to attain some sort of love from his grandfather. Gibeon has expectations for him, meaning he is considering amethio as part of his life. It’s a completely conditional love, but that at least means that Amethio can obtain said love somehow. So he rationalises Gibeon’s lack of parental affection towards him as his own fault, because if he’s not receiving it then that’s just because he hasn’t worked hard enough to live up to Gibeon’s expectations. And if he someday can, he hopes he’ll finally regain that happy home life he once had…

Even if Amethio is able to make amends with Crave and maybe even Gibeon, I do hope that a lesson he learns in his arc is that your blood family doesn’t have to be your chosen family. Sure, he can reconcile with his blood family, but he doesn’t need to put all of his happiness stocks into them. I think he’s already starting to learn that through Zir and Conia, I hope he gets to make more friends as his arc continues because that poor boy deserves it!

month of ingo, day 27: school

collaborative note taking between rivals during a lecture (ended up derailing severely).

(yes, these are real calculations. pokémon's damage formula is pretty complicated, even without taking into account modifiers such as STAB / tera / weather boosts.)

The adaptations of/canonical stories of games with multiple playable protagonists should focus on both. I adore Yokai Watch but the anime did Katie so fucking dirty and, by proxy, her and Nate's friendship. In the games, they feel like genuine friends who run in the same circle. But not in the anime, and I'm upset because they totally could've had them BOTH be the protagonists who are given watches and made to interact with the world and each other in a unique way to the games but instead Katie's just this girl Nate has a crush on with a tiring joke about him being average. They don't even feel like friends in the show, it feels like they have mutual friends in Bear and Eddie and that's how they run in the same circles. Boo.
