He dared to fly high and beyond

With a will that burned hotter than the sun itself

Outstretched his hand

Just to feel a modicum of its light

Longing to possess its brilliance, power, legacy

Enveloped and overwhelmed

His wings of crystals cracked and he fell

Down into the heart of the sea

Just before the tides claimed him

From the skies, came down them

and reached a hand for his.

I would love to hear your thoughts about the fucked-up turtle (Terapagos)

"Now let's talk about the turtle. Can we talk about the turtle please, Mac? I've been dying to talk about the turtle with you all day."

Ok so. Short Answer Re: Thoughts About Terapagos:

WHAT THE FUCK. WHAT THE FUCK. WHAT THE FUCK. WHY DID IT DO THAT. WHY DID THEY [GAMEFREAK] DO THAT.

Long Answer Re: Thoughts About Terapagos [SPOILERS FOR THE SCARVIO DLC naturally. i havent seen Horizons so i dont rly know whats goin on with this little guy in the anime, just what we've got in the games]:

When the last little batch of new Pokemon in Indigo Disk leaked, about 12 hours or so-ish before the DLC dropped, I was at dinner with my bestie and we were looking at our phones like we were reading breaking world news. And I was looking at this tiny ass png of Terapagos's full Tera (Stellar) form.

And I immediately blurted out "holy SHIT it's turtles all the way down."

If you're not familiar with the phrase, check out its wikipedia page; here it's most relevant as a saying thrown around with regards to the philosophical concept of infinite regress, i.e. a series of elements (or questions begging an explanation) that that goes on infinitely with each member producing the next. So let's say the world rests on the back of a giant turtle--well, then, what does that turtle stand on to keep it from falling into the void? Why, another, bigger turtle, of course! But what about that turtle? Well, you're not gonna believe this, but it's turtles all the way down.

And here's the other thing about infinite regress: it's a logical fallacy, it's circular reasoning--honestly it's a little bit of a cousin to the "which came first?" chicken and egg argument. The question in these cases never truly gets answered, it just goes on and on forever. Bigger turtles on top of even bigger turtles.

It's a paradox. :)

So Stellar Terapagos, just look at that thing. Even its dex entries talk about how it looks like a planet, how it resembles "the world as the ancients saw it"--it's very much not only trying to evoke the World Turtle concept, but the symbolism of a classic paradoxical saying. So we've already got that going on with it, that already makes me bonkers. AND THAT'S JUST THE SURFACE LEVEL.

Cuz when we look at how Terapagos behaves, things start to go from "well isnt this guy a little weird" to "oh. oh this thing is kind of fucked up and terrifying, hello, what the hell is wrong with it" REAL FAST. Its two most stressed features we see in Indigo Disk are A.) its crystalline nature and how its the progenitor of Terastalization, but also B.) it is ferociously powerful and borderline uncontrollable. It's violent. It bursts out of a Master Ball and almost kills Kieran for daring to try and control it. Heath's illustration of its Stellar form in the Scarlet/Violet Book looks so otherworldly and almost cosmically horrifying. It has Weird Fucking Powers the game does NOT elaborate on (but I will; see more below.)

And also, hey, yeah, its Stellar Form looks like a stack of world turtles, but why the FUCK does its Terastal form also look like a goddamn dream catcher.

Personally I've been a big fan of the 'imagination theory' re: the Professors and the Paradox Pokemon and Area Zero, and folks have been arguing that Indigo Disk debunks that, but honestly I feel like we're loitering around some untold explanation that's even more bizarre. Terapagos is at least on some level tied to dreams and existentialism, and I really feel like there's more to Tera Crystals and Terapagos's relationship with them than what we've been told. Hell, its cry is even the noise we hear all game when we Terastalize our Pokemon, which produces its own myriad of questions (Are the Crystals some degree of alive? The Tera Crowns all do have Terapago's little turtle head at their base, too--does Terapagos physically or spiritually connect with a Terastalizing Pokemon? And what about that weird crystalizing the AI Professor does during its big boss fight? MUCH TO THINK ABOUT.)

Oh, speaking of Crystals--yeah. I can't NOT talk about the Indigo Disk Crystal Pool Postgame Secret when talking about Terapagos. ONE MORE SPOILER WARNING FOR THAT--SERIOUSLY GO TO THE CRYSTAL POOL AFTER GETTING THE DLC CREDITS. IT WILL BLAST YOU TO BITS. anyway.

Yeah so that's what I mean with Why Did It [Terapagos] Do That. The fact that you dont even need to have it in your party for the postgame Crystal Pool cutscene to trigger and for Terapagos to just pop out of the PC boxes on its own accord and warp space and time (and maybe even reality itself) to irreversible consequence, implying once again some great and uncontrollable power within this beast. Crazy Ass Moments in Pokemon History for CERTAIN.

And the thing that makes me most insane, thinking about Terapagos twisting time to allow you to meet the Professor, the Real Live Professor, to swap notes with them so to speak, the way it facilitates all of that, is the position it now puts the player and Scarvio itself in. If the Professor's research rests on the back of a white book given to them by a child, then what does the research of that white book rest upon? Ah, well, the expedition of Area Zero spurred forth by the fallout of the Professor's research. And what did THAT research rest upon, again...?

Turtles. The whole way down. Chickens and eggs and a paradox you're now responsible for. At the hands of a Normal Type Pokemon that tried to kill a 14 year old.

Terapagos scares the shit out of me. I love it so much. Why Did They Make It Like That <3

breaking free from neotwewy is a very Kieran song i think

#pokemon #pokemon sv #pokemon scarlet and violet #pokemom indigo disk #pokemon indigo disk spoilers #pokemon kieran #clai's art #tbh. i'm not too happy with this but the concept is cool enough that i want to post #keyframes are stupid HDJBF JUST DONT LOOK AT MY TRANSITIONS TOO CLOSELY THANKS #fun fact i thought about using florian for this instead of my trainer #but i thought it was sickeningly poetic for my final two pokemon left to be Ogerpon and Zoroark #the latter being an illusionist. a Liar and master of deception #i mean even worse the pokemon before zoroark was ceruledge which is made of ''malicious will'' and ''lingering resentment''#and yknow what i had meowscarada another trickster pokemon and farigiraf which is literally two-faced. horrifically on-theme team

#HELLO me from the future again. more explanation relating to the thing i talked about on the phantump post #that one had the same situation as this one‚ with the shininess. though for this one‚ instead of using a scarlet/violet screenshot #i ended up using the PSMD model‚ like i used to do for megas. this made it pretty crunchy‚ but had no shading‚ which i wanted #i've since unshinified the original model from xy and it should look better now. i've left the original crunched up version under the cut #and the original tags of the post below:#trevenant #using the crunchy psmd model for this one again for the same reason as phantump. they both only have OpenCollada variants #which means they're super shiny apparently and when they're facing the camera you can barely see their eyes. so. i'm using the psmd model #the low-poly.. ness… is a bonus don't worry

I’m gonna say this but wow. Pecharunt’s backstory is similar to Momotaro’s but with the dark twist is that it gained the old couple’s affections by using its Binding Mochi

But however, deep down, Pecharunt wants to be loved by the old couple, despite the fact that they’ve been controlled by its poison, by bringing in gifts for them which makes them happy.

The same could be said for Okidogi, Munkidori and Fezandipiti. He really cared for them and genuinely treasured their companionship despite doing the same thing he did to the old couple.

All in all, I guess you can say that Pecharunt is kind of a misguided Pokèmon that wants to be loved but thinks that by giving their ‘loved ones’ the mochi they produced, it’ll create a bond between them.

#rubi’s post #pokemon scarlet and violet #meta #musing #pecharunt #okidogi #munkidori #fezandipiti #not defending pecharunt btw #but this is something to think about #I think it wants to be loved in some sense #but doesn’t know how to express it without using the mochi
