This is one of my husband’s favorite short stories. He quotes it from memory. I’m pretty sure he can recite the entire thing from memory.

This is a tremendously impactful short story and every time I see it, it serves as an excellent reboot button for my state of mind.

I just learned yesterday that Pikachu, my favorite Pokemon, was originally designed not by Ken Sugimori (he only finalized the design), but by a female graphic designer named Atsuko Nishida. 

Also after googling her, I found out that she’s also designed Sylveon–another favorite PKMN of mine. She’s also illustrated some very pretty Pokemon cards!!

Thank you Ms. Nishida! :-) May you get more credit and love for your contribution to the Pokemon franchise.

as a camera shy person myself, knowing she hides behind plushies is just amazing

Her and Yoko Taro are legends at hiding from cameras. xD

Here’s some other Pokemon she’s designed, for anyone curious:

and not to derail this post into anything overtly political, but: If it weren’t for a woman in the gaming industry, we wouldn’t have freakin’ Charizard. I feel like that’s something more people should know about!

My favorite part of the plague doctor outfit is the walking stick because it was mostly used to examine patients without touching them but apparently it was also used to keep people a respectable distance from the doctor.

Someone sick with bubonic plague: doctor please I'm--

Some goth harbinger of death crow-looking dude: get the fuck away from me *slaps him with a stick*

[not-a-space-alien]

Apparently plague doctors would also sometimes offer it to patients to use for self-flagellation in the hopes that God would forgive them and take away their plague

Someone sick with bubonic plague: doctor....please ....

Goth harbinger of death crow-looking dude: *holding out walking stick* I prescribe you 50cc's of go beat the shit out of yourself

[fiollaigean]

Sick peasant: please, there has to be something you can do to help me-

Plague doctor: VIBE CHECK

You swerve to avoid a squirrel. Unknown to you, the squirrel pledges a life debt to you. In your darkest hour, the squirrel arrives.
