i swear to god if people don't start understanding that responding to doylist critique of a piece of media with watsonian exonerations is not an actual rebuttal

somebody saying "hey i don't like that the only gay man in this story is a weird pervert and it portrays gay sexual promiscuity as a moral failing and character flaw" cannot be rebuked by arguing about how the character's backstory or personality traits explain their behaviour. the choices made by a writer are all fundamentally mutable; somebody saying an author's choices should have been different is not going to be persuaded by an argument that takes those choices as immovable fact

#pretty sad that I can’t go to pride this year because of the weather and health reasons #I feel like I’m just letting everyone I know down #I fucking hate being sick and disabled it sucks so much that I feel like I can’t just live my damn life #I wonder sometimes how much it must fucking suck to be my friend and how much more effort that must take #how it probably feels like I’m giving nothing back even when I’m doing my best to give everything I can every day #i feel like a fucking failure rotting away in my own body #is this all my life is ever going to be?#i’m tired im upset im so sick of being sick and tired #vent #delete later

i entirely get why people are like "actually knights were historically land-owning nobles waging war on people" and reminding people that idealised modern conceptions of knights are not historically accurate, it's just really really funny given that people have been idealising the institution of knighthood since like. the twelfth century or earlier, go take it up with fucking chrétien de troyes

(in fact i would argue that when most modern people refer to "medieval knights" they are not in fact referring to the historical institution of knighthood at all, but to the literary tradition of knights as found in chivalric romance, and therefore thinking of them as hot men who rescue damsels and defend the weak is not inaccurate, as long as one recognises that this is a literary knight and not a historical knight, and also that this knight probably still commits wildly horrifying murders every now and again and doesn't really respect women despite rescuing them)

lotta people reblogging this with tags about how the modern concept has drifted so far from the historical reality that the term has lost its meaning or whatever but that's completely missing the point i was trying to make. i'm saying that that idealised fantasy has been there *all along*. practically as soon as you get a formalised institution of knighthood, you've got people writing stories about how cool and sexy and chivalrous knights are. it's not that the modern conception as found in fantasy novels has drifted, it's that the modern conception has always been based on chivalric romance more than on reality.

the literary history of knights is a different strand of history than the historical reality of knights and that is the history that many people are responding to; it remains a historical idea and concept even if it has always been a literary one. "correcting" people's understanding of literary knights with reference to historically 'accurate' knights is, most of the time, comparing apples and oranges and then complaining that the 'apple' has segments when it was in fact always an orange

this is the biggest pokemon leak weve ever seen. holy fuck.

ive been here for multiple beta leaks since the spaceworld gold demo in 2018 and the diamond and pearl beta leak somewhere after that. this is by far the most intensive leak of beta pokemon stuff ive seen.

source code and beta builds for gens 3, 4, 5, and later 6 and 7. it is MASSIVE.

there is so fucking much and you can see coverage here

this document from junichi masuda made in 2005 is the highlight for me, the symbol used in the hgss arceus event. it seems the legendaries are like a greek pantheon of deities

but we got more

internal development and discussion. universe creation lore, character profiles (e.g. skyla is a sexy latina pilot inspired by jennifer lopez and isabella fontana), never before seen designs, seen-before designs (latiken had a fucking sprite!), concept art, gen 3 had some darker looking discarded dev art. WHAT IS THIS IT RULES

here are compiled beta sprites from gens 3, 4, 5
