These Feelings Never Change! @pechadex - Tumblr Blog

Comms are open!

This is my primarily Pokémon-focused blog. Here I will usually just be referring to myself as Pecha in posts and tags.

Asks are pretty much always open!! Feel free to ask literally anything. Oc/AU info, my favorite of something, thoughts on something, ideas, etc.

You can find my main blog here: @caterfritter

Check out my:

OC List

AU List

( Any and all pairings on this blog involving OCs are not romantic selfship unless explicitly tagged as selfship. I do not support adults who romantically selfship with minors. Familial/platonic is fine.)

Boundaries?: All OCs, including pokémon (which usually don’t get included in the oc list), and AU interpretations of canon characters, can be drawn as long as I’m tagged in the art or it’s given privately. Keep the art appropriate and if the art is of a pairing, make sure it is a pairing you know I’m not uncomfortable with.

Note: my art style is very inconsistent! I have many many styles that I rotate through AND like exploring new ones! I enjoy my art most when I can portray it how I want, so if you like the surprise, maybe my posts are your thing :)

Check out my Kieran SoundCloud playlist with 50+ tracks and still getting music added to it to this day :p

Ok so I know this might get some people riled, but the reason I don’t like the attempts at Pokèmon competition like Palword, and why I think they don’t work, is because they make the fact there’s more violence their main selling point. I don’t like “it’s Pokémon but you have guns and can shoot and kill them like real wild animals and destroy their habitats!!” as advertising. It doesn’t feel like genuinely trying to be competition for Pokèmon more than it does trying to be soullessly edgier than it.

Like anyone else been getting those palmon mobile game advertisements where it’s just someone brutally harming the monsters?? And nearly all of them are that?? That’s why I’m making this post actually. I genuinely hate the “look at how much edgier we are for torturing these fictional monsters” selling point. It’s the complete opposite of what Pokèmon’s tone is and I think that’s also why they end up not working on a wider scale.

I ABSOLUTELY think Pokèmon would do well with competition, I’m no glazer. What I mean by this post is I think the people trying to be are too focused on being “cooler and more mature” rather than genuinely challenging the lessons that Pokèmon already sets up by exploring them in a more meaningful way

If you want to challenge another form of media, you first need to understand that medias appeals.

Why does its audience enjoy it? Why does the audience enjoy that? How can you, as a competition, replicate that in a way that challenges both you and the larger media to take riskier moves for that audience?

Being a writer in fandom will have you realizing just how many people don’t understand what worldbuilding is…

“This Pokémon game is bad because it doesn’t have gyms in it and that means it sucks” can you be so for real with me right now….

Since it’s pride month… here are a bunch of icons featuring some headcanons! I have plenty of headcanons, even contradictory ones, it really depends on the AU and scenario. But these ones are my favorite!!

Anytime I remember Groudon is 11 feet and 6 inches tall I get shocked. Not because “wow that’s big” but because “wow I expected you to be way bigger”

#I have a few non-Pokémon non-human ocs that’re near that height and I think it’s funny #local 10+ foot tall enderman almost as tall as ground god #pechas rambles #pokémon

Hey just saying, since one of my oc Rinyma’s character conflicts was (dead character moment) being near-infertile while wanting a bio child..

Here’s a reminder that if you make a female character and give them a conflict that is traditionally connected to the expectations of women, you SHOULD consider what her other forms of conflict are… There really should be more to say about them than discussions connected to that one character trait.

If you find you can’t do that, then don’t give them that conflict until you CAN say something meaningful about their character beyond that. Okay? Okay.

pechadex

Oh and by the way this includes how you treat female canon characters too. If you’re trying to come up with a conflict for a canon female character and the only things you can come up with are like… pregnancy, not being in a relationship, virginity, infertility, etc. then you might want to step back and wonder if you have any biases…
