As far as I’m concerned, pokemon villain writing peaked with Guzma. Legitimately worried about the erosion of culture due to hyper-tourism surrounding their sacred rites and practices. Abused as a child, ran away from home to start his countries only youth hostel for similarly troubled kids, and funds it with crime. Bug type specialist, with an ace that is mostly known for its first stage being cowardly. Cultivates a big scary persona as a defense mechanism to protect himself and his members, no one can beat big bad Guzma, so they don’t have to be afraid anymore. His grunts trust him enough to ask him for help when they screw up, despite the fact that they all come from troubled homes. Was so significant that pokemon switched from having cartoonishly evil bad guys and teams to the current model of “sympathetic and understandable antagonist that has some very good points, even as they oppose the protagonist, and is in some way actively doing good in their community by supporting those who are the most in need of assistance, due to some legitimate failing of the current system.” There is a cartoon villain looming behind him, but they’re a twist and not the main team presented. Everyone wants to be him, but they can never replicate the perfection that is this man.

Thank you for your service Guzma

"girls" are a kind of bug you can pin to your wall and instead of dying they'll just moan and look cute

"We're not supposed to be honest when people ask us how we are?"

Uhm.. Actually, you can be. There's a lot of people who are honest when answering that question. They just do it in ways that don't come across so upsetting or depressing.

Many people sugarcoat their answers to be more palatable for a greeting, or for a start of a conversation. It can also just be a polite way of giving others an out for a potential depressing conversation they may not want to be a part of.

These responses usually come in forms like, - "How are you?/How's it going?" - "Could be better." "It's definitely going." "I'm still alive." "I'm getting there." "New day, new problems." "Well, I'm still here." "Same old." "It's not all sunshine." "It's moving along". "It is what it is." "Not great but I'll survive." "Hoping tomorrow comes quickly." And many more responses like this. These are all ways of basically saying "Things are kinda/very shit at the moment for me". But they just don't go into detail about it. They are being honest, without the extra information.

If the other person doesn't want to go further into this then they may just responed with something like "I feel you", or "That's relatable", or "Yeh, that's life". Which are basically ways of saying "I acknowledge things aren't easy right now", without having to go into a conversation about it. Not everyone has the emotional energy to deal with conversations like that in that moment and that's okay.

Honesty doesn't need to come with the extra information. A lot of people won't give the extra information and that's the difference.

Others that I have used in the past:

"Fair to middling." "Keepin' on keepin' on." "S'alright." "Alive. Everything else is negotiable."* "Enh."

*Bonus points to any who get the reference.

“morally grey” characters who are all on the same level of bad (according to quite a bit of fandomites on here):

guy who killed one billion children for fun (but he’s hot and white so it’s ok)

teenage girl who was kind of mean one time. probably also black or brown

guy who abuses his wife and kids and kicks little baby kitties and puppies every day for fun (but he’s hot and white so it’s ok)

girl who is really sweet but she gets in the way of a yaoi ship so everyone hates her and has to make up reasons why she’s actually evil

Stalker Guy John whos only personality trait is harassing women (but he’s hot and white so it’s ok)

8 year old girl who is loud and annoying because she is 8 years old

white supremacist priest (but he’s hot and white so its okay)

woman who wants her husband to stop dealing drugs

Ted The Molester (he’s hot though) (and white) (so it’s okay)

literally just a black woman. she didnt do anything wrong she is just a black woman

I bet it would feel good as fuck to be a foxgirl and have your gf brush your fluffy tail

[enameledcoppergirl]

You would make good use of a tail to curl between your thighs, wouldn’t you?
