You're doing a whole series on the designs of Pokemon/Pokemon characters, and I had the idle thought: do you have thoughts on characters' partner Pokemon as an extension of their character design?

It's not clear to me how often that ever actually happens holistically, but it's certainly a tool the series uses constructively.

What I mean by that is, it doesn't seem to me like characters are designed specifically in conjunction with a specific Pokémon, where the mon and character act as extensions of one another's character designs. Giovanni has his famous Persian (in the anime anyway), and that Pokémon suits him well, but Persian wasn't designed to complement Giovanni. Ghetsis has his Hydreigon that uses Frustration at max power, which certainly tells us something about what he's like as a character, but Hydreigon was not initially designed for Ghetsis.

And I'm sure someone who's more into the weeds of trivia than me would know if I'm wrong here, but to my knowledge, while there are plenty of human characters who are designed to reflect Pokémon, there are barely any Pokémon that were designed specifically to reflect a human character. The one example I can think of off the top of my head is Nihilego and Lusamine, where Nihilego's shape design matches Lusamine's, and they seem designed specifically to fit together.

Nihilego acts as both an isolating bubble, shutting Lusamine further away from reality and her children, as well as a "crown" or royal mantle, and acts as an extension of Lusamine's devouring mother archetype with the many staring eyes and enveloping tentacles. Surveillance and constriction.

And of course, Llilie's initial design at the start of the game has more than a passing resemblance to Nihilego's shape language, which again raises this idea of Lusamine trying to figuratively climb inside of her daughter, to make her child an extension of herself, which is familiar to certain kinds of narcissistic parental abuse narratives.

and I am once again reminded how much Lillie is just the actual main character of Pokémon Sun and Moon and how much better the game would have been if we'd gotten to play as her, instead of a useless blank slate permasmiling player avatar doofus whose only function and capacity in the world is to win pokémon battles.

#okay. okay. i've got to stay normal.#but the idea of making a romhack of usum/sm where you play as lillie is trying SO hard to possess me #i am NOT a programmer by any stretch of the imagination. i am barely an artist.#but that would be the most amazing idea. and getting to explore how lillie feels about all of this.#like her seeing nihilego and having a horrific realization of what lusamine was really doing to her #making the battle with nihi-lusamine way more epic and scary and keeping it in usum #skyen i'm #i'm in trouble you've given me a powerful worm i think i will be nurturing and reaching for skills i don't exactly have at this moment #pokemon

Very similar vibes - this 1899 illustration from Puck of butchy (for the time) lesbians looking like the coolest, hottest women to ever walk the earth

Sorry for us politics posting, but we have until May 22, 2026 to submit public comment to the FCC:

More info from GLAAD:

https://glaad.org/fcc/

They have some good tips about writing a comment and protecting your privacy which, fuck it, I'll just paste here:

Providing an email address is optional. If you have concerns about privacy, you may use your initials or public address in your local area, such as City Hall. Do not use a joke name. It diminishes the comment’s credibility.

Your submission does not need to be long. A single, well-reasoned paragraph is sufficient.

Do not copy/paste a template comment. The FCC values unique perspectives, and an original comment carries significantly more weight in the public record. You can explain why this matters to you without revealing private or sensitive personal information.

Here's what I said:

“Free speech is a fundamental American freedom. I do not need a warning about seeing queer people, much like I do not need a warning about women, veterans, or any other group of people.”

Here's the link to submit your comment by May 22:

A queer YA coming-of-age story about a black teen witch girl in the 2010s, fighting monsters and falling in love with vampires.

phew it's been ages since i drew and posted something, but baldur's gate 3 has somewhat lessened its hold on me

here's my half-elf bard tav, (with a lil warlock in her) reina lightholm. she's a short, loud braggart who likes to play mind games with her enemies and teasing her friends, but ultimately loves helping people and putting her nose where it doesn't necessarily belong...though she somehow manages to find a way to fit in there regardless. and some additional astarion cause WHOOPS she fell in love with him after regularly butting heads with the obnoxious, suspicious dandy she thought he was
