Snorunt Is Love, Snorunt Is Life

honestly i never thought the phrase “i want that twink obliterated” was like a sexual thing. like when i read the phrase i imagine “a meteor like the one that killed the dinosaurs is summoned from the heavens and hits the twink in question” type situation

pokemon immunity is kinda funny sometimes like. some of it makes sense, right? like yeah a flying bird doesn't care if the ground is shaking, a ghost doesn't care if you punch it, you can't poison metal. but like... fairy being immune to dragon type. like what does that look like. like physical dragon type moves are just... biting/scratching/whacking you but in a Draconic Way. like if my garchomp uses scratch on a clefable then bang ouch thats some damage. but if it uses Dragon Claw, with the same claw, just.... Draconically. absolutely nothing. fascinating

I put a pokemon colosseum playthrough in the background at work and I forgot how incredible the energy of the random NPCs was

I got a Mesprit Sitting Cuties plush recently and when I opened the parcel I lowkey regretted buying it, not for any normal reason, but because my OTHER Mesprit plush was a childhood favourite toy that I got when I was 8, long before I even started playing Pokémon.

And I loved her so much that I took her to primary school several times and took her on adventures in the playground and I invented so much lore about her. And I even made up my own joke where I would hold up a Pritt glue stick in one hand and Mesprit in the other and Isay "Don't Mess with Mess Pritt!" and it was so dumb but to me it was the funniest thing ever.

I was just so invested in researching her on the internet when I finally did get into Pokémon and I lost my shit when I played Pokémon Pearl for the first time and MESPRIT WAS THERE!!!! And I spent MONTHS unsuccessfully searching for her and my heart would skip a beat whenever I heard the opening notes of her battle theme whenever I was walking in the tall grass. She was like my Moby Dick. Finally caught her in White 2 where she's a static encounter instead of a roaming Pokémon and I was cackling because she couldn't run away this time.

And then Legends Arceus revealed that Lake Verity was a volcanic lake and it made me laugh my ass off because it reminded me of a childhood misconception that Mesprit was a "Fire Element Pokémon" because on the Pokémon Wiki there was a subheading that read "Mesprit in the Manga" that I misread as "Mesprit in the Magma."

All this to say, the evening of when I recieved the new Mesprit plush (and after a tin of strawberry daquiri) my brain flashed back to Lotso's backstory in Toy Story 3 where he became evil after his owner lost him and replaced him with another Lotso Bear and he thought she didn't love him anymore and I genuinely started crying because it felt like I was replacing Mesprit too.

Of course now that I'm not slightly tipsy I can understand that the two plushies can coexist and just because I got a new Mesprit, doesn't mean all those memories are erased.

I'm also realising how funny it is that the Being of Emotion is making me feel, well, emotional. GIRL, STOP. YOU DID THIS TO ME

I like Skwovet as a Pokémon, I think it's neat. But the fact that its normal form is a grey squirrel and its Shiny form is a red squirrel makes me so damn sad.

It's a reference to how grey squirrels are an invasive species in the UK and are driving the native red squirrels to extinction. I don't wanna be reminded of that in the silly creature collecting game 💔

Pokopia has this extra layer of fun for me because I like, just missed the boat on Pokemon age-wise.

Pretty much all of my Pokemon knowledge comes from half watching a couple of the series with my kids when they were little.

So every ten minutes or so I’m like.

Holy Shit There Is A Giant Snake Made Of Rocks. Does Everyone Know About The Giant Snake Made Of Rocks.

And everyone else has known about the giant snake made of rocks since 1998.

one of my favorite things about pokopia is how it makes it clear that pokemon have no concept of gender and humans just kind of place those labels onto them

April 27, 2025 - Ka Daisy, an NPA guerrilla and trans woman, was martyred after a confrontation with security forces in Barangay Tapi, the Philippines.

She was known for teaching literacy and math to members of her squad who were uneducated and always carrying a make-up kit in her guerilla supplies. May she rest in power. [video]/[video]

"As an LGBT youth our role is important in advancing the revolution. To change society's views we must change society herself"

(thanks internet archive for archiving the video that got deleted by youtube, and thanks @noneedtofearorhope for finding it. also, good to know: "Ka" is a title like comrade, not part of her name).

[lookoutsea]

for further context, the NPA is the armed wing of the Communist Party of the Philippines, which has been engaged in armed and unarmed, underground and aboveground, struggle against fascist and bourgeois-liberal dictatorships in the Philippines for over 60 years now. though the NPA's presence is mostly limited to rural areas, the CPP and its popular front and youth wings are active all throughout the Philippines.

more than just fighting the state powers, they are actively engaged in improving the conditions of the rural peasantry and the urban workers and semiproletariat (they were involved, for example, in the jeepney drivers strike a year or two ago). the NPA stands for New Peoples' Army, but in certain areas where they either hold power or are living among the peasantry, they're called the "Nice Peoples' Army". they live and work along with the villages they're staying in, and help feed and teach the people

their line on LGBT rights is one of the most advanced out of any communist formation worldwide. they hold that the liberation of gay and trans people cannot be achieved without the liberation of the proletariat and peasantry, and vice versa. they've held this line for a long time - they were fighting for trans people back when most other left-wing parties (such as the RCP, pre-Avakian-cult) held reactionary positions on their role in society. here's an article with more context on gay and trans people in the CPP. (warning for misgendering in the context of a trans person's "former self").

rest in power Ka Daisy and let her acts and words serve the liberation of all people

Heres some more Project Hail Mary comics, just for fun!

[clingynepenthes]

Now I didn't expect them to go this far.

[bogleech]

oh my god they really acknowledged that ribombee is based on a brood parasite!?!

[slowspinningredemption]

it's honestly exhausting how many online communities claiming to love/be interested in a thing end up as cesspools of people bitching and hating on it. like jesus christ do people just not enjoy things anymore? are we not doing that now? not to be controversial here but sometimes i just want to like. enjoy stuff.
