i feel like one big problem with radiostatic would be their libidos totally not matching up. like alastor doesn't feel like having sex that often, but vox is so down bad that he gets hella hard when he and alastor are just making out and alastor makes those lil moans (or literally just breathes), and then vox's ass is banished to sleeping on the fucking couch like "i bet you're wondering how i got in this situation"

i just think it is very funny that the fanon characterization of salem includes both ‘terrifyingly skilled manipulator’ and ‘ does not comprehend basic emotional drives, such as love’—pick one.
in particular i’m thinking about the common reading of salem’s choices immediately before hazel punches her—that she really does just decide in a fit of pique to torture emerald and tells hazel as much because, i suppose, she arrogantly presumes he would never turn against her. always from the same people who turn around to style this character as an emotional puppetmaster effortlessly pulling everyone’s strings… except when plot convenience demands otherwise, apparently
she uses emerald to discipline hazel in 6.4—he lies to her to shield em from any retribution for their failure, salem pins him to the ground and wrings the truth out of emerald. salem knows damn well that hazel is willing to disobey her for emerald’s sake. she knows his fear of her is surpassed by his love for this girl. she intimidates emerald—and then does not actually hurt her—to make a point to hazel.
emerald fools salem by making oscar look like hazel, and salem’s reaction implies that she’s a tad surprised to find him out and about—“ah, hazel! have you gotten what we need yet?”—meaning salem would have expected hazel to be interrogating oscar. minutes later, she discovers that the lamp is missing and oscar has almost escaped with emerald’s assistance. and the lamp disappeared around the same time. so, think about this from salem’s perspective for a moment:
how did oscar leave his cell undetected?
and if emerald didn’t take the lamp, who did?
salem can tell emerald isn’t lying to her about the lamp. the confusion is genuine, and the terror when salem repeats the question is also genuine; salem drops the magic and turns away from her instead of trying to squeeze blood from that stone. from this moment onward, salem knows there are two traitors: emerald, and whoever took the lamp.
the only other people on monstra right now are hazel and neopolitan. given that salem caught emerald trying to sneak oscar out, and given that she knows how close emerald is to hazel—and how protective of em hazel is—who do you think she is most likely to suspect as the accomplice?
“ah, hazel. i found our guests—this one was helping him. take the boy back to his chamber; i have work to do with this one.”
if you read salem as a master manipulator—or if you, like me, read salem as a person with a solid grasp on the human psyche even if she lacks the social dexterity to be anything better than mediocre at manipulating people—there’s… kind of only one conclusion to draw here. she’s not an idiot. she knows how much hazel cares about emerald. she knows someone—not emerald or oscar—swiped the lamp. she knows hazel was not where she expected him to be when oscar was let out of his cell, apparently by hazel’s surrogate sister. hazel conveniently wandered out to the docks where she just caught emerald trying to escape with oscar and a bunch of kids. she turns to hazel and says loudly: look, your proxy sister is a traitor! i am going to hurt her now! before turning her back on hazel and leaning in reeeeal close with magic crackling around her hands HOW DO YOU THINK SHE EXPECTED HIM TO REACT? lmao
and then he punches her and the first thing she does is unbind all her hostages.
like. hello

the image of various scenes with TR crossdressing with the caption “team rocket, destroying gender roles since 1997” has done so much damage to pokemon community and even more damage to the people who haven’t watched anipoke in years and hail them the best queer rep ever from vague memories from their childhood alone
FOR REAL TBH like truly just ignoring that all of those scenes are intended to mock them.
ik its not a big deal its just a pole that i wasnt even following, but something that annoyed me specifically with the one poll was when jessie was against lillie and everyone was like "OMG VOTE JESSIE BC ITS PRIDE MONTH SO YOU HAVE TO OR YOU HATE THE GAYS!!!!!" when like... im sorry lillie has more genuine lgbt hinting than jessie does sldjfslkdfjslkd.
like sure its not the biggest thing ever but one of these characters was pouring their heart out to a girl in the rain about how important she is to her and how much she depends on her while a rainbow comes out, has an arc about breaking out of the strict roles her mother forced her into, and literally gets an RGU reference in the anime and a deeply devoted "best friend", and its not jessie. sure none of that is exactly explicit groundbreaking stuff and i personally wouldnt say youre meant to see lillie as bi, but its more than what jessie's got

8) Crackships, you say...
Okay so I answered this one already BUT. This isn't even really a crack ship because it ACTUALLY HAPPENED but clapdos is funny as like, exes, which is also canon (to poker night 2, at least). Glados and claptrap are like Jessica and Roger rabbit without the whole being madly in love thing--i just think glados thinks he's a funny little guy. But claptrap isn't down with her whole testing thing which by the way she is programmed to actually need to do, so she ditches him lol. I don't think they're good for each other though ultimately
I like to think about this stupid funny hypothetical scenario where glados is inviting a ✨ new test subject ✨ over and needs him to be on his best (turret mimicking) behavior and he goes "babe I'm starting to think you love testing more than me 🥺" and glados goes "shh be quiet she's coming in--omg hiiiiii long time no see [💛]" and chell appears in the elevator and is just. So amused glados is with this tiny little chatty robot. Maybe she goes along with testing just because she thinks it's funny to see him get jealous
