Excerpt from A Pre-Rapture Pictorial History, 3rd Edition, p. 356: “...Of what can be translated from the surviving art and literature, Helianthian Summer solstices were days of song, spent in fields. The Farmer Queen is accredited with the composition of many of these melodies, some of which survive vestigially amongst modern-day citizens of Sanctuary.1”

Hi sorry I need to do some more Pokemon posting bc this is the funniest shit. the cute-looking Pokèmon TCG series is making "TM10" part of its branding. Like, TM10 from the games - its the TM for the move Hidden Power, thats cute! Its reflecting the main character discovering herself in the same way the move works in the game, what a cute little detail!

Except uh. Just one problem.

Game Freak in all their brilliance removed Hidden Power from the franchise four years ago in Generation 8* and its still not able to be used in Scarlet and Violet. Its not just that you cant teach it to Pokèmon anymore, you straight up cannot use the attack even if you trade in Pokèmon from older games who know it. Its like a banned technique.

So then that begs the question – if the TCG show is gonna be referencing TM10 this much, but TM10 *isn't* Hidden Power anymore, surely that means TM10 is another similarly inspiring attack - Stored Power, or Calm Mind, or Smart Strike?

Well, depending on if its Gen 8 or 9, I hope the kids will have fun Discovering Their Own Magical Leaf and/or Discovering Their Own Ice Fang. Truly inspiring words. love how well managed this franchise is

I've watched Pearl's finale and wow. It was sad. She was so lost.

But a kind of sad I could deal with. It's a kind of sad that's rooted in love, and it's tragic and beautiful. I need a compilation of Pearl mourning her teammates throughout the entire series.

But also, this trully is the galaxy duo season. For me at least. (I still haven't watched Last Life) Her moments with Scott in the final episode are my favorites. They are so in sync. They truly are soulmates. They make me so happy.

And her final moments with Cleo, oh my gosh. It was so sad. Pearl lost Impulse and Gem. Cleo lost Scott. They only have eachother left with Ren.

Shiny duo on the other hand. It's interesting. Surprise how Gem wanted Pearl in the end. I still cannot be on Gem's side over the whole 1v2 thing nor the whole ender eye thing. But she was the one who wanted to be allies with Pearl in the end, much to Pearl's surprise. Me too Pearl, me too.

Like on the lore side of things,

I'm all up for the interpretation that Gem only likes Pearl when she's red. When she's hurt. When she's unhealthy. When she's lashing out on the world. I find that kind of toxic yuri interesting.

Lore wise, Gem doesn't fully understand Pearl (nor does anyone understand Pearl in general). She doesn’t understand how loyal she is to her day 1 allies. She doesn’t know the trauma.

In her official first season, she only got to know Pearl as one of the mounders, as her murder buddy, and as the feared Red Pearl. She didn't understand why she stayed so loyal to Scar.

Maybe when they both turned red was also her not being able to help it anymore. She wants to keep Pearl to herself even with how pathetic she is.

I've seen alot of takes from both toxic fh truthers and fh shippers that Scott will never ever get over Jimmy and will obsess over him until he dies forever which. I don't fault anyone for asserting considering that fucker has two jokes and one of them is lolol remember fh But. I think there's something to be said about how Scott has shown time and time again he really is not in love with any personal qualities Jimmy possesses (quite the opposite actually, he seems to find Jimmy obnoxious more often than not during third life including when Jimmy is not really even doing anything) but is rather entranced with the romantic fantasy that Jimmy brings.

Jimmy is, after all, young and pretty and in love and someone he feels relies on him and lets him feel useful so it's not hard to assign him as husband and leave it at that. I don't think Scott is quite in love with Jimmy tbh but I do think he's very much in love with his husband (jimmy). If that makes sense.

With that in mind, I think it's then fascinating when you look at the universes where FH assumably never existed or where he is able to find a replacement for his romantic fantasy relationship. Witchcraft Scott has Milo and Rat Scott has his weird platonic(????) thing with Owen and Pirate Scott focused on his brother instead, Scott tends to actually move on pretty well and adjust to being more. Chill.

Now then if I said last life Scott almost got to this point with his thing with GGG and Pearl specifically challenging his worldview. And then he fucked it all up. Then

the most autistic thing i've done in the past year is when i typed out a transcript of the text from the entire main storyline in Pokemon Legends: Arceus into a wordpad document, complete with basic image descriptions, and then i didn't even write the fanfic which was supposedly the reason i started that whole project in the first place
