Please elaborate on your twst Pokémon headcannons I’m very interested

I had planned on drawing everyone for this (I made a LIST!) but it. hasn't been going well. 💀 soooo here's what I have so far!

Riddle - Roserade (I was going with 'no legendaries', otherwise I would've given him a Shaymin) (and I don't think Togedemaru is actually a hedgehog or I would've given him one of those too) (...they kind of do fit though. hmm.)

Trey - Alcremie (clover/mint cream + strawberry/ruby cream)

Cater - DITTO SQUAD! DITTO SQUAD! DITTO SQUAD!

Ace - Impidimp (I feel like there's probably a better one for him, but I can't think of it)

Deuce - Scraggy (meanwhile I KNOW deep in my heart that this is true)

Leona - Pyroar (but like. a nasty Pyroar. just a grizzly old Pyroar with the shittiest attitude imaginable. they pretend to hate each other but secretly they are a bonded pair, do not separate)

I love me some eldritch, incomprehensible ghost speak in fics, but in my heart ghost speak sounds like a theremin being played.

Like, it's one of those instruments that can sound so much *like* a human voice, and sound nothing like one all in the same song. It can make kind of chipping noises, it can make some truly horrifying sounds. It can be beautiful, it can be creepy, it's peak ghost speak to me

(Also just love the idea of people playing the theremin at ghosts to join the ghost speak convo being like the meme of when people meow to their cats, but like are saying "taxes" or "ketchup" in response to "hi" lol)

Anyway please juat imagine Danny & the other ghosts sounding like this while they talk/fight:

I mean, not trying to be aggressive at you fluffer, but yes. Of course there are doctors that want to help. Of course there are doctors that will take a person at their word, approach them with kindness and compassion, and view their beliefs and knowledge of their own body as more important than a hypothetical man's possession and progeny.

They are, however, terribly outnumbered by the many who don't respect AFAB bodies, especially fat bodies. People needing the help can also be hamstrung by location, access, and cost. Or even timing. It sounds like 15 years ago, there wasn't a doctor like that available for Lee. I've seen multiple friends have to be hospitalized and nearly die before their reproductive requests were taken seriously, and these were within the last five to six years!

Lee's frustration feels so valid. Insurance, access, cost, and doctor's ignorance has left them a lot to cope with, emotionally and physically. Systematically designed suffering is deeply unfair, and some rage at the machine is understandable.

Acknowledging that the system is changing can be very hopeful. It's a lovely ray of hope. But it is slow. The hope that things get better should be driving us to support policies that protect AFAB and uterus-bearing people's rights to decide their health.

I remember when wicked was coming out, people were asking others to tag the spoilers, and some idiots were like "it is a movie based on a play that is 20+ years old, based on a book that is older - no i won't tag spoilers" and then i see people getting upset that people are asking them to tag nosferatu because it's also an 'old' text . and i just needs you guys to put on your thinking caps and understand that because of live action adaptations, people who would otherwise not be interested in these works/books/etc., are being pulled in and want to learn, and interact with this media. which is actually a good think !

so how do you think, being mean and snarky is going to impact people actually wanting to join and interact with these spaces. accept that not everyone has read nosferatu, accept that not everyone has seen/read wicked. someone asking you to tag spoilers for an adaption to a movie isn't hurting you. some people want the joy of experiencing and seeing things for the first time, especially if they're just dipping their toes into these genres.

two weeks ago there was the 'classics' discourse, of y'all calling people dumb for not knowing classics, and now when people are trying to learn about them, you're mean because they don't wanna be spoiled.

i talk about this on twitter all the time, but in fandom spaces, there really is an empathy crisis. especially in literature, classic and film spaces. and some of you guys are just mean.

I was rewatching mouthwashing, and I ended up thinking of the different reactions that Curly and Jimmy had in doing their tasks. How during the scene of Anya evaluating Jimmy and showing dread towards the idea of doing his evaluation, Curly was the one that offered to take it off her hands. He had no issue with adding more to his plate, because he knew - or well, thought, he knew that Jimmy wasn't going to "bullshit" with him since he's known him for a long time. When Anya hands Curly a note from Swansea, Curly goes to check out what the issue is and he takes care of it without a complaint, the only "complaint" he has is how this incident could have damaged the pods. Which is reasonable, those pods are their only way to be saved if anything tragic happens on the ship. However, in comparison to Jimmy being asked to do things, he's passive-aggressive about it. When Anya asks Jimmy if he could help her out with Curly's painkillers, he tells her that people should be worth their titles, specifically using her title as a nurse when she asked him for help and then when she says forget it, since he made her feel insecure, he still goes "Oh no, I'LL take care of it" as if he was doing a chore, a favor for her. Then, there's that part where he blows up at her for things that she didn't even ask him to do - more so the others asked him about it, like the code scanner, him deciding he needed to find the axe for the foam, and then, there's the medicine part (which when she does ask, and she reconsiders - going to do it herself, he takes that away from her). Jimmy complains about the tasks he has to do and he treats it like a big issue, a "woes me" that he has to do this and that - wanting the praise of the capital without actually doing any work. While Curly doesn't complain about it, in fact, he even mentions that he's aware of how well he is doing at his job as a Captain during that cockpit scene with him and Jimmy. If Jimmy only had to do a small amount of tasks to get irritated and annoyed at being captain, while Curly didn't which I feel like encapsulates their personalities. Curly understands what he's doing is a job, it's a responsibility, why would he complain at any point for doing what he's suppose too? Why would he be upset at people asking him to do tasks? While Jimmy on the other hand, isn't used to it at all and it's different to what he's had before and he's realizing that he doesn't actually like doing the work he has too. I just wanted to ramble about it even if it seemed kind of obvious xd

It’s obvious but it is a thing people miss or understate when trying to find parallels in Curly’s and Jimmy’s relationship/personalities.

Like the way people portray it as neither taking responsibility when it is almost split down the middle of Curly taking responsibilities and faults that shouldn’t be his and making himself unequipped to handle the ones that are while Jimmy refuses to handle the responsibilities he has because he wasn’t expecting the work that comes with them.

Not a lot to say but people forget that another thing the game comments on is prioritization of issues and responsibilities and how the guys fail at it in one way or another in the situation.

Hi, I saw a very dumb image and got pissed off because it was incorrect about sperm whales and also just kinda rubbed me the wrong way by implying that things don't live at the bottom of the ocean & really far down and I wanted to stand up for my marine life pals. So here's a corrected image with some extra bonus context.

Hi, just saying, DMs exist for a reason, and if you're going to shit on fics/writers on tumblr dot com where they could VERY easily see it, maybe just don't? Have a shred of empathy and just imagine what it might feel like if you came across someone talking about you and something you were proud of one day. And no, obviously I'm not talking about fics that are racist. I'm talking about ones that just aren't to your taste. Nobody's saying you have to like them. Nobody's saying you have to read them. Just don't be a fucking dick about them in public.

What makes me laugh about all the accusations that Marius is such a rampant predator with a pattern of preying on SO MANY CHILDREN is that when people bring up Pandora I know that they got upset and threw the book and didn't even finish reading the exact same page because just a few paragraphs down:

"You are out of your mind!" My Father turned his back on Marius, who gave me a sad smile and disappeared. "What did he mean? What happened?" I asked my Father. "What's the matter?" "Listen, Lydia," said my Father. "Have you in all your readings come across the word 'betrothed'?" "Yes, Father, of course." "Well, that sort of wanderer and dreamer likes nothing better than to betroth himself to a young girl of ten because it means she is not old enough to marry and he has years of freedom, without the censure of the Emperor. They do it all the time." "No, no, Father," I said. "I shall never forget him." I think I forgot him the next day.

I know fandom has brought this up again and again and again but I guess we'll keep bringing up if people keep refusing to read just a little bit more of the page to learn that he DIDNT want to marry Pandora, that was the point lol. He didn't want to be married at all.

Hi, I’m trying to put together a compendium of information and tips from disabled people on how the world can be made more accessible to you. This includes any and all disabilities, whether they be physical or mental. If you consider yourself to be disabled, your input is appreciated.

If you’re not disabled, but would like to help get more information, it would be highly appreciated if you could re-blog, and if you wanted to tag some disabled friends that would be great, too. Even better actually!

(under the cut: further elaboration on what this would include, some sample questions, and the questionnaire and info sheet)

I’ve seen lots of posts from disabled people on small things that would be helpful for them (for example: not putting lots of emojis for people who use screen readers) and would just like to compile all of it in one easy to share document.

I would also love for it to include a resources section for learning more about different disabilities. Things like books, movies, videos, and other posts that do a good job of explaining things to people.

some questions that would really help if they were answered are:

What are some ways that general people on the internet could make your life easier?

What are some ways that the general population could make your in person life easier?

What are some ways people you know personally could make your life easier?

What are some things you really dislike people doing regarding your disability?

What media do you think does a good job representing your disability?

Do you have a social media account concerning your disability that you’d like for me to include in my section of further resources?

Do you have any positivity you would like to share about your disability?

answer as many or as few of these as you’d like, and this is of course non-comprehensive, so feel free to include any other information that you’d like to.

If you think you’ll answer all or most of these, I’d appreciate you filling out the survey linked at the bottom. It will have two sections. The first asks for information on your disability (for organization purposes in the accommodation sheet), and the second asks for actual accommodations.

If you only wish to answer one or two (or have questions/comments/concerns), you can answer in the comments, reblogs, or my dms.

Within he information spreadsheet itself, some disabilities will have entire sections, others will be categorized into sections depending on what makes the most sense. This has nothing to do with perceived importance/severity of the disability, merely with whether the information is generalizable to other disabilities in a category :)

It is also currently in the workshop stage, so if you have any tips on ways to make using the spreadsheet a more enjoyable experience, I'd love that too!

Accommodation Anthology

(sorry if this reads like a corporate survey btw. I really just wanted to include as much info as I could)
