Monthly reminder that Trump's presidency is unconstitutional according to section 3 of the 14th amendment. This means that you don't have to acknowledge his (nonexistent) authority, and elected officials who took an oath to uphold the Constitution have a duty not to.
The big discourse on twitter right now is that writers going on strike or cancelling their own series are breaking an invisible “contract” they made with their fans and all creators owe their fans a satisfying conclusion to their stories. Actually all fans owe all creators for entertaining them and if a creator says “I don’t want to perform this labor anymore,” then regardless of the cliffhanger that leaves you with, your only response should be “take care! Thank you for all your hard work!!!” :)
Seriously, though, what I love most about Pokémon is that the official explanation for why it’s okay that a bunch of children are running animal cage fights for money is because:
a. All living creatures in the Pokémon universe have a natural inclination to set up tournament brackets and engage in a series of staged one-on-one duels where nobody actually gets seriously hurt; and
b. Humans symbiotically contribute to this phenomenon by furnishing the infrastructure for Pokémon to organise themselves into stables and more effectively pursue martial glory.
Like, we are describing a universe where not only is a knowledge of and propensity toward the principles of professional wrestling genetically encoded in all beings, but humanity’s natural ecological niche is “wrestling promoter”.
It’s a beautiful thing.
Wooaah
I will keep this in mind in case i get chytrids

@desert-orb-blog what did you do
Definitely need more telekinetic animals in media, it's dumb as hell to suggest that statistically out of every life form extant on earth that humans are gonna be the only ones to get bullshit magic powers. I'm not saying you have to make them invincible or nothing I'm just saying sometimes you should have a random ape or frog develop latent psychic abilities and consider what they would do with those powers. A frog would subconsciously stop bugs as they pass in front of its awareness and use that to eat them easier. Maybe if it gets passed up for mating it flips its opponent over repeatedly. You get what I'm saying
You need someone taken out,
Don't come to me. I don't date people
