I think the Pokemon Planet is like... A "Bermuda Triangle" in the PokeUniverse or PokeMultiverse whatever. Like imagine living in a planet where reality is SO unstable that people and creatures can simply, literally, no-clip out of the bounds of their dimension.

It's almost meta, like the first games in the series were riddled with bugs and glitches. Video games are naturally buggy and you can find yourself breaking the world through brute force or by complete accident.

So the world of Pokemon is super unstable and I can see how this could happen.

Infinity energy, the Power of Pokemon, stuff that powered AZ's Ultimate Weapon, Z-Moves, Ultra Wormholes, Palkia and Dialga's insane dragon powers, Arceus and the elemental types-- This is INCREADIBLE amounts of energy that even shape the ecosystems of the world itself. Regular Pokemon like Voltorb can cause EXPLOSIONS. SOLAR BEAM, HYPER BEAM...

With that amount of energy, it's no wonder there's such thing as Interpol's 'Faller' category and Ultra Beasts. These rifts in spacetime and parallel dimensions are naturally occurring.

And that thought is much more terrifying than anything else.

getting some sort of damage from things i love

it'll be that the writing is so abysmal that it hurts me, or it'll be so amazing and hurts me. Then the few that are in the middle that also hurt me- it all hurts me.

Except rescue bots, thank you for not hurting me.

Fuck you RB Academy.

eats rats canonically- great baby sitter tho (mostly)

shhh listen. it's 6 am. i've been reading priest fics lately and getting annoyed when i can immediately tell they were written by a protestant ... my religious beliefs are muchhhhh closer to buddhism than catholicism and yet. here we are. what brand of trauma is this

[saturatedsinset]

like sorry, I've done the whole "getting anon hate for calling an abuser an abuser" thing before, it literally could not bother me less. and in bandom they were better at it. at least there people sent me hate with some spirit to it. I'm not getting out of bed for less than a death threat, honestly

Awesome ad from Always breaking gender stereotypes! A female is driving a car and needs to pull over to change her pad. Unfortunately, her car breaks down. A bunch of men run over to help but aren't very helpful and argue. Always Ultra protection gives the lady the confidence to take matters in her own hands and she fixes the car by herself faster than 6 men. The men are shocked but the lady smiles and is full of confidence.

I always think it's so so interesting that in the areas of the creel home where Henry finds spiders, there is no rose imagery. Like in the bathroom and the attic, there is intentionally no sort of rosey wallpaper that we see all over the place. In the dining room, it's a bit of a stretch, but I suppose Henry was the "spider" in that scene which is why the wallpaper is plain orange. Almost like the roses are meant to represent "rose colored glasses" in a sense. Like the wallpaper hides the spiders behind the walls. It makes me think of Alice's line about how it's all like a fairy tale. Also, brings to mind the references to the creel home in the wheeler home, including the rose wallpaper + urn/fake urns.

But also not only that but the trend of wheeler women wearing rose patterns as to imply that they're not being honest about themselves. Nancy wore a rose design in the first wheeler family photo, and even though she wasn't wearing the same shirt when Jonathan snapped that pic of her when she was taking it off in Steve's bedroom, his comment about how she was "being herself" is interesting (also Nancy just wears a lot of pink-white-blue in s1+s2).

(which honestly I think my interpretation holds weight when you consider how the writers took a risk of possibly making Jonathan out to be a creep just to get this point across. And it always seemed like a pretty strange line to me at least).

Especially, again, a person faking in ST is often conveyed through clothing, as with Argyle's comment on Mike's clothing at the airport.

And also I love Rose Robin so much because Steve's line about how Robin just needs to be herself, and how she was too uncomfortable in her "Rose Weaver" outfit? Because it just wasn't her? And Virginia in her white-pink gown when she sees the spiders in the bathtub and just simply runs away and hugs Victor- "rose colored glasses" (which honestly I could write so much about how victor is associated with the spiders + the grandfather clock but not in a way that condemns Victor himself but instead it's an image that being unfairly projected onto him- which honestly makes me feel even more sad for his character).

Honestly given Holly is fully submerged in this symbolism also in s4 - despite only being six- I could bring in (back on my bullshit again) Ted's relationship with his children and how that seems to be intertwined with this.
