there’s this term i coined in my friendgroup i call “the charizard effect” and it can apply to anything and everything, but it was born from me explaining my feelings about the pokemon charizard. the term is basically about how overexposure to something be it by corporate shilling or fandom prominence drives me away from really enjoying something bc i’m exposed to it so much against my will i become tired of it. it came to me bc i was ranting about how tpci does not, and cannot stop reinventing charizard, and how it is popular and obtusely included in almost every region, merch, etc in every way possible and it’s highly commodified.
i dont dislike the pokemon charizard, in fact i really like its X form, but i am exposed to so much charizard in my pokemon consumption that i cant be bothered to care for it in any more than in passing. this applies to a bunch of other stuff i’d otherwise be ok with, but i always just call this aversion phenomena “the charizard effect”
making this term has done numbers for me being able to concisely express how i feel abt something. like. its not charizard’s fault i feel this way, im sure i’d feel normal abt it if it was stripped of all this over commodification, but i cannot. hence the name
Livin' the dream
So. I went to go do some work. and i found out all my adaptors, from keyboard to tablet, were ripped out of the back of my PC by some piece of clutter. So I decided "well yeah i guess it HAS been a while and a ton of new peripherials since i cleaned everything up! let me do that today."
...there is a specific irony to finiding out this is what was resposible for ripping out all my cable bundles.
piece of media you feel crazy about at formative age is truly like the hotel california. you can check out but you can never leave
my most sick and twisted fantasy
I was honestly a bit nervous to draw and post this one, because it's such a deep rooted and genuine issue I struggle with. It's a thing I wish could be fixed in some way, but I feel pretty comforted it resonated with so many others too
I do think it’s important to recognize that even beloved pets are mortal and will age and die & that many illnesses associated with aging can constitute “natural causes” and I do think there’s a bit of weirdness in American culture that encourages people to deny that until the last possible moment in a way that’s unhealthy lol
Just as I think it’s important to try and be responsible about vet bills etc & have a certain amount of money set aside for that if you can I do that a stipulation of pet ownership should be “can I watch this animal decline in a way that is timely for its species without being so upset by it that I bankrupt myself in order to prolong the inevitable” idk man
When I rushed my cat to the ER vet on her last day, I could see VISIBLE relief from the vet when I agreed to put her down instead of spending thousands to give ME another few weeks with her.

Thank you so much for the love on this, im glad it resonated with people :)
Multiple people have asked if it's okay for them to make their own versions of this piece, and the answer is yes please feel free to! ^w^ I'd be honored & I'd love to see them
