i love that every pokémon is someone’s favourite pokémon. it doesn’t matter how much you dislike a pokémon or how forgettable you you think a design is, out there is someone who thinks it’s their baby. my coworker who only discovered pokémon through pokémon go absolutely loves tangela and has a small army of fully powered up ones. at an expo once i saw a woman at a booth desperately trying to find an onix plushie because it was her daughter’s absolute favourite. i talked with someone recently who announced sudowoodo as their tippy top favourite. every single one is loved by someone and idk, i think that’s gotdang heartwarming

[pokemon]

What’s your favorite?

Wouldn't it be kinda funny to see a fanfiction parallel where Cody is the feral one and Obi-Wan, who has been training people for years and knows what responsibility looks like, is completely aghast at some of Cody's behavior.

After battle Obi-Wan turns around, completely horrified because this newly promoted-non force sensitive-commander just JUMPED on General Grevious and came away unscathed.

Or forces Cody to go to the medic after kicking a droid-no Cody he doesn't care if you have weight enforced boots, it's still a safety concern.

The further into the war they get the more convinced Obi-Wan is that his partner has some kind of force-sensitivity because how do you survive this long doing all the stupid shit Cody has done without it. But after while Obi-Wan just finds it devastatingly attractive

Meanwhile Cody is just relaying his dumb stories to his batch while the other's try to one up him with their own stunts. And the Jedi have to deal with the fact that the clone's were not trained to have any sense of safety and personal responsibility.

[tearfulsolace]

Okay but you said parallel/au? Yet, these are all things he's canonical done!

I would like to propose: Cody likes to think he's the responsible one. He's the Marshall Commander of the 3rd Systems army! The Vod'alor! Ori'vod supreme!

You know who is feral? "My jetii's insane, vod'e. He keeps doing these rediculous plans!" As the rest of the CCs nod along at first, they have crazy jedi too, after all. But Fox is dead eyeing him.

"You sure Kenobis the crazy one, vod'ika?"

"We're the same age!"

The rest of the CCs think about it. And yeah, actually. Kote was the one to (insert crazy stories on Kamino).

In truth, he's just as feral as his jedi. He's in denial. If you ask Obiwan, he's also in denial. (Anakin's the crazy one, my dear.)

They're a match made in... well, Kamino I suppose. Lol

and the link……

Oh, this is remarkably of its era. I was just viscerally launched back to the specific amalgamation of meme printouts my roommate and I decorated our bulletin boards with senior year of college.

[psyzook]

I saw the link and just knew..

I hate how 3 pm is so close to 2 pm so there's an illusion that there's still time left in the day to do things but in reality 3 pm is also close to 4 pm and if it's close to 4 pm you might as well just wait till tomorrow. <- can't argue against this by the way.

Less of a question, more of a plea-

Would you please add the ability to marry the Cloistered Diatomist into Fallen London?

this is the first ask of its kind we've had. they're not a bad candidate though, so we'll see!

I think a big part of the reason Pokopia is hitting so hard for so many people is that we have had an absolute glut of post apocalyptic media that take the "humans are the monsters/disease/problem" angle. Even the most well meaning solar-punk I can think of often have this undercurrent of 'humanity's nature is inherently short sighted and exploitive and they must constantly be kept in check to protect the environment' which slides very quickly into 'the world would be better off without humans in it to complicate and threaten things'.

But Pokopia fully does not do that. The world is lonely without humans and lesser for humanity's absence. So much of the game is about how Pokemon miss humans and are struggling to make sense of a world without us, how the ecosystem is just as hurt by our absence as any other species, and how the things we left behind, even in ruins and burned shells, are often beautiful and strange and helpful to the Pokemon who find them.

Pokemon have always been this allegory for the natural world- back to the original idea of the games inspired by children who caught bugs and kept ant farms- and thus the relationship between Pokemon and humans becomes this allegory for the relationship between nature and humans. And Pokopia looks you dead in the eye and says "the world would be poorer without humans, and if we all vanished tomorrow the echoes of who we are and the things we did would still ring out for eons uncountable. We would be missed and mourned and searched for and the wound of our absence would be deeply felt on this earth for the rest of its turning. The actions of a few greedy short sighted humans will never change that."

And that. That hits.
