Whumpee's who call Whumpers by their actual name!!!

I live for it!!! How much more personal is it to call your tormentor by their name, to recognise that this monster is actually human too? 😍 There's no disconnect between whumpee and whumper, pet and master etc. There's that extra level to their relationship, a closeness whether they want it or not.

Or maybe it's in a moment of cheeky defiance, daring to call whumper by their name. Or a moment of pleading and desperation, trying to tap into Whumper's sympathy. Or an intimate whumper, a whumper forcing whumpee to be in a relationship with them - of course, they'd call each other by name!

I just think it has so many connotations to it hehe.

Prompt 111

Y’all know H2O? Where some people get cursed to turn into merfolk whenever they get water on them? That, but replace water with ectoplasm and merfolk with naga. 

No, Bruce has no idea how they managed to get cursed or how he ended up with an armful of baby snake-person creature thing. At least this one isn’t black-hair and blue-eyes so his kids can’t complain at him. And it’s not his fault they all fell into this, this was supposed to be a vacation while Lucious, Alfred, and Gordon kept an eye on things back in Gotham. 

On the bright side, his children want to snuggle up for once, which he supposes is nice. And Damian seems pleased about it judging by his rambles about snakes. So there’s that.

NATE MANN as ROBERT "ROSIE" ROSENTHAL in Masters of the Air

[hallowpen]

Alright babes... Anil is officially involved now.

While Anil tries to take culpability for Princess Patt having found out about Pin's relationship with her, it is significant to note that she never actually apologizes. Anil insistently continues to use bold action, despite how it may affect Pin herself. She sneaks into Pin's bedroom and very loudly declares herself in her speech in that final scene.

Anil assures Pin that she will 'find a way' for them to be together. Yet, even as a high ranking princess, that is not something she can guarantee. Even though Anil knows the societal realities, she believes that she still holds enough privilege to facilitate a fantasy... which is simply not the case.

There is something to be said for Anil and Pin reaffirming their love for one another in the middle of a storm, where they risk the chance of being seen by others. Very symbolically fitting.

I've been building up to this for a while... No matter the fact that Anil was the one to initially pursue a relationship with Pin, it was always going to be Pin who took the brunt of the responsibility...

It's as clear as day when Princess Patt says to Pin, "Stop blaming other people, Lady Pin. It is you who has done wrong." It is Pin who has done wrong, so it is Pin who must be punished. And so, like I've said previously, it is Pin who has the most to lose. Though it's still not ideal, Anil does have a semblance of more agency over her life... where Pin does not. And while Anil is hurt and upset over their future situation, it is Pin who has suffered the most.

Let's discuss THE SCENE™️

Bless Anan... he is trying his best. As much as he supports his sister, he can only do so much for her within the confines of royal customs.

I love that the series made a very clear delineation between what are seen as western traditions vs. what are actual Thai traditions. It's been hammered into us that in Thai 'courtships', where royalty and nobility are concerned, the woman has little to no say over who is to be her chosen suitor. And while not always an unpleasant custom, Pin has made it very clear that she has no inclination toward wanting to be with Kuea. But for Kuea and Princess Patt (and Princess Alisa), Pin's feelings do not matter. All that matters is status and honoring tradition. Or as Anil put it, that Pin is simply a product... that must wait for any suitable man to buy her.

And did we notice, that while everyone else was discussing Pin and Pin's feelings about her marriage, Pin sat in silence... literally devoid of any color. 😭😭😭

And even with Pin's quiet pleas to stay silent, Anil goes on to expose the nature of her feelings for Pin... which was tear-jerking and exceptionally delivered by Becky... but still incredibly reckless and somewhat naive. In selfishly wanting to "correct" the situation, she inadvertently made things much worse.

I'm not going to nitpick the translations here, because they were incredibly spot on... but I do want to point out the use of two words in Thai:

When Patt and Anil express the someone that is a 'perfect choice' or 'deserving' of Pin (for Patt that is Kuea, and for Anil it is herself) they use the word คู่ควร 'khu kuan'. It insinuates a pair that is 'worthy' of one another based in suitability.

In that same instance, when Anil claims she is the one who deserves to be with Pin, she uses the expression ย่อมเป็น (pronounced 'yawm pen') which implies a state of definite inevitability.

We did it! We survived the emotional rollercoaster that was episode twelve... barely 😭😭😭

Check out Part One, if you missed it.

Sygna Suit Ingo's random conversation lines 🚂

Pokémon Masters EX spoilers ahead!

Random conversation 1:

Life is a never-ending journey! There may be times when you think you've reached your final destination... but it turns out you were simply on a stop along your journey. Therefore, you won't know what lies ahead unless you keep moving forward!

Random conversation 2:

Wearing a sygna suit gives me the same feeling of excitement I get when I arrive at a station I've I never been to before! It's almost as if my whole body is enveloped by my expectations-of new scenery to behold! My outfit isn't the only thing that's new and improved. I'll show you that my partner Pokémon and I's teamwork is better than ever!

Random conversation 3:

Sometimes I wonder what it means to aim for greater heights as a Trainer. Does it mean becoming stronger, or does it mean deepening the connection one has with their Pokémon? I suppose life is all about searching for the answer to that. If you have a clear answer deep inside you, and you do what you think is right... then no matter where you are, you'll always know your destination. Wouldn't you agree?

Random conversation 4:

I've heard that souls burned up in Chandelure's flame lose their way and wander this world... Losing one's way, becoming unable to reach one's destination... is quite sad. If any customers like that ever ride with us, I hope I can guide them back to where they need to go.

Random conversation 5:

When you and someone else combine... your engine powers something special! I hope you can join various teams and keep traveling nonstop around Pasio, (Player).

Random conversation 6:

I've been thinking... What if we built stations on school campuses? I've been thinking... What if we built stations on school campuses? That way, students could have Pokémon battles on the Battle Subway on their way to school! It would make every day convenient and fun for the students and teachers, don't you think?

Random conversation 7:

Some regions have hidden moves like in Unova, but there are other regions that don't have them at all! Something that is taken for granted in one region might be unfathomable in others. When your world changes, what you consider common knowledge also changes!
