Did you ever listen to the 4Kids Pokemon albums, like 2.B.A. Master, Totally Pokemon, or Pokemon Christmas Bash?

If so, do you have any favorite songs?

Oh my god YES my childhood...I still occasionally listen to these albums actually

FAVORITE tho. It has to be All We Wanna Do. And the Pokemon Johto theme!!

Marill christmas everybody!!!

things that happened at today's market

MY BEST FRIENDS FROM HIGH SCHOOL ALL SHOWED UP I wasn't expecting all of them to, but they all did!! they were so supportive and I love them so much :))

someone was walking around with a giant replica of a human spine

I got called a "legend" for recognizing a picture of binyah binyah from the show "gullah gullah island"

a kid with this really cool outfit and his mom came up to my booth; I thought the kid's outfit reminded me of will wood, so I mentioned that, and the mom told the kid, "hey, she knows will wood! you love will wood!" and the kid got really excited and started talking to me about will wood. they left, then came back later to buy some art, and I was like "THANKS WILL WOOD." it was great

I wanted to buy some bone jewelry from another vendor, but they didn't have anything I could buy; just earrings (I don't have pierced ears). however, they did tell me they had a necklace made of their dog's toenail. I did not buy it

I shared a booth with this artist who had this really cute chibi art style, and I mainly sell horror art. we had like a whole miyazaki/junji ito thing goin on

there was someone in an oddly realistic goblin mask

I was somehow not the only one selling prints of the pale man from "pan's labyrinth"

met someone who had a "rocky horror" count, just like I have a "caligari" count (they bought a "rocky" button from me)

was given free pokemon cards, a rainbow flower for pride, and a popsicle

someone saw my ace flag at my booth, then opened their fan, which had an ace flag pattern on it. we were very loud about it

someone desperately wanted to get rid of a rubber duck with a sports team logo on it

my sister traded a crocheted bag for a $30 one piece figurine

I was trading old littlest pet shop figurines, and three people told me that one of the ones I had was "the mom from LPS Popular." I ended up selling it for $5 to my friend lol

met my friend's boyfriend, who also listens to tom waits. we were talking about his albums, and I mentioned that I liked "mule variations." my friend misheard it as "yule variations" and thought tom waits did a christmas album. (can you imagine)

someone infodumped to me about their queer interpretation of "the shadow over innsmouth." it was amazing

The Top2000 voting week has started so that means it's time for my yearly call to vote for Oya Lélé by K3 in the Top2000, Spotify might ignore K3 in their wrapped lists but that doesn't mean the Top2000 should too!

Because I hope people will spread this around (and I decided to blaze it), some further clarification below the cut:

Questions I can imagine people are asking:

What is the Top2000?

The Top2000 is a list of the 2000 best songs ever according to the Dutch public/listeners of NPO radio 2/anyone who wants to vote. It has been going since this millennium and is always broadcast from Christmas to New Year's Eve, with the top song being played just before midnight. (The top song has been Bohemian Rhapsody in 18 of the 23 editions). See Wikipedia for more information

What is K3?

K3 is a Belgian(/part Dutch since 2009) girl band aimed at children, they have some very good songs in my opinion, but they have never been in the Top2000 which I think is a crime, because some songs are definitely better or at least as good than some songs that have made the list (looking at Normaal and the Pokemon theme song). Also I'm pretty sure most Dutch (and Flemish) people will be able to sing along to at least 1 K3 song.

Why Oya Lélé?

Because we need to all vote for one song to make a chance, and I think Oya Lélé might be the most `K3' song of all. Other songs I considered are Alle Kleuren and Heyah Mama, but in the end I think Oya Lélé makes a bigger chance. It's also the K3 song that stayed in the Dutch top 40 the longest. (Though the Alle Kleuren album was a bigger success tbh) In the end it's mainly because I can only campaign for one song, and Oya Lélé just screams K3 to me. (And newer 'very much K3' songs like 10000 luchtballonnen and Mamasé make less chance because people have less nostalgia for them.

What is this thing about Spotify?

For 2 years in a row now Spotify has not shown any K3 song in my wrapped playlist, even though I requested my data last year and K3 was by far my most popular artist. I am not the only person this happened to (see this tweet for example) even this year after I contacted customer service about it last year (it was a whole project). They did not seem to understand my problem, so I will have to do it again once I got my data from this year.

Okay so how do I vote?

You can vote here! It's all in Dutch obviously but you do not have to be Dutch in order to vote and I think it's all pretty clear. You must vote for 5 songs minimum and 35 maximum. Oya Lélé is not a preset option in the list, but you can manually add it after you searched for it. Fill in K3 in the first field and Oya Lélé in the second field. If you need further inspiration for what to vote for Heyah Mama is somehow a preset option, and you can just browse the list.

11, 21, 22, 34, 44, 46?

>11. favorite extracurricular activity? Only extracurricular I did after school of my own choosing was track and field. I got really good at the mile run, to the point where I ran a personal best of 10:39 on the 1.5 mile run during Air Force ROTC. >21. something you’ve kept since childhood?

I still have my original Pokemon Yellow version! it even still has the black marker where 7 year old me wrote my name on it.

>22. what type of person are you?

I like to think of myself as laid back and easy going but really that's only when times are good for me. I become more high strung and irritable when things aren't going my way. I guess the only consistent way to describe myself is regimented. I have a time and method for doing pretty much everything in my life; from waking up at the same time every morning to eating nearly the same food at the same time every day, all plotted weeks in advance. I'm weird, but you already knew that. >34. is there a song you know every word to by heart? Plenty. Almost all of the Weepies and Cake discographies I can sing by heart. Most Metric and Twenty One Pilots albums as well.

>44. you get a free pass to kill anyone, who is it?

Gonna break the rules and go after historical people, where I choose Charles Darwin, without hesitation. I have a tin hat conspiracy theory that's absolutely real that his Origin of the Species is directly responsible for the rise of Social Darwinism, the worldview I hold responsible for a grand majority of the extreme violence that ravaged the 20th Century. Forget killing baby Hitler, I wanna kill the guy who enabled Hitler's worldview. >46. favorite holiday film?

Jingle all the Way - where Arnold Schwarzenegger must battle a mailman to buy his son the toy he wants for Christmas all while preventing his next door neighbor from fucking his wife.

Kittsu: cool rocks, and some fossils. few books about pokebiology, and a few more about pokemythology.

Blackthorn: i found magnets with Beldum on them. and some colorful paperclips and metal bits so that Bonk can express more. some of them i handpainted for little expressions and to make little beldum hands

Saint: The recipe for my berry tarts, and the recipe for how Coral makes her berry jams since he seems to like them so much. And of course, some berry tarts and jams to go with it haha. I also found a blanket with a berry pattern on it to match the theme

And a printer for the camera so it can print any photo it likes...and a photo album. It's about half full with photos I've taken of us around the house and the pokemon and stuff.

Don't think about that too hard. and some stuff for the magikarp cools at the new house. i also got matching pjs for all three of us (including sprite) for christmas cause i thought it would be cute :)

Hi you all its been a while since i did one of this!! this was fun!!

[torchickentacos]

about your tags on that one post christianity/catholicism technically does exist in pokemon or at least pokeani canon because of the one banned due to racist jynx episode 'holiday hi-jynx' where it's christmas themed, and you can guess why it was banned considering at the time jynx was blackface and having white santa's elves be black caricatures is definitely a lot. what i was trying to say was yeah to some extent there is real world religion, misty whips out the actual cross to scare away the evil spirits in 'the ghost of maiden's peak', christmas is real, and if you count dub exclusive canon as canon then yes there is a christmas bash album regardless of whether they even knew jesus existed in the pokemon world or not. that said this means that religions like judaism and islam is very much possible in a world where people worship arceus, also meowth is 100% undeniably jewish

OOOOH OK I forgot entirely about that! and yeahhhhhh that episode made some. poor decisions. Slight tangent from that, but I wonder if it would be like the real world, where sects and religion is somewhat localised, or at least in geographical groups that spread as time goes along? I'm playing legends arceus rn, is worship of Sinnoh a religion? Hmmmm I should see if I still have acess to my cultural geography online textbook from last semester and see how it could apply to pokemon because I'm autistic and that sounds like a good time to me. You have given me SO MUCH TO THINK ABOUT and I am HERE FOR IT.

And this is SUCH an interesting topic to think about, but all I keep thinking about is that one post where a family got a prayer mat for their cat. Glameow/Skitty/cat pokemon with a prayer mat. So... here y'all go. quick draw over.

[gender-snatched]

You need to listen to the Pokemon Christmas Bash album

Oh?
