did you hear grimsley fell down the steps of the unova pokégala? 😩
Some thoughts:
Gen 5 was all about giving their gym leaders some star power, SO it only makes sense they’d have flashy galas and “red carpet” events every year.
Famous Pokemon trainers are considered celebrities. Ingo and Emmet might just be “the train guys” but they’re definitely up there in popularity — have ya SEEN the polls???
Would love to draw it sometime but I can only imagine Burgh does “artistic” and “interpretive” entrances with his bugs and insane clown posse.
Elesa’s outfit is inspired by Emolga, and it just so happens she matches with the twins. Toooootal coincidence that they didn’t plan for uh huh uh huh.
Skyla crinkling and crackling every time she moves from the sheer amount of snacks shes got stuffed in her dress. Shes more stacked than a 7-Eleven.

Sometimes I feel like I'm the most chill person in this fandom when it comes to ships and characters. Like I can find reasons as to why each ship would work and wouldn't.
Pandalily? Academic rivals FOR SURE.
Jegulus? HELLO??? Bestfriends brother? Grumpy x Sunshine?
Partyvan? Peter deserves ALL that love.
Marylene? Not friends, not lovers, but something. It's so heartbreakingly cute.
I can even find stuff for ships I don't even ship.
Jeverus? After he saves his life? Hell yeah!
Dramoine? ENEMIES TO LOVERS! REDEMPTION ARCS!
Prongsfoot? Best friends to lover? Sure, man, go for it!
Regulus x Sirius?.......... You... You do you bro???
Snily? That "always" line was cute, I gotta admit.
I genuinely won't judge like if you ship them - if you see them working out; GO. FOR. IT. THEYRE FICTIONAL!! Have your own opinions, it's okay!
AND THE CHARACTERS!!!
Yes, they all have their flaws. Yes, James bullied Severus. Yes, James repeatedly asked Lily even though she'd already turned her down. Yes, he changed!!
Yes, Severus called the love of his life a slur. Yes, he bullied children. Yes he cared for Harry to some extent! Even if it's only as a tribute to Lily, that's better than nothing.
Yes, Dumblewh*re raise Harry for slaughter.... That's it... I have nothing more to add for him.... Bitch.
Yes, Regulus is a death eater. Yes, Regulus was obsessed with the dark lord since childhood. Yes, he stole the horcrux!!
Sorry for the rant but like I'm seeing so much hate for so many characters and ships and I don't understand it. There's as much to love as there is to hate. It wouldn't be fair if they were perfect flawless characters. They're designed to be insufferable and loving and idiotic and a little crazy.

really fucking sick and tired of people who really fucking love the eddie book jumping on people who don't like or are even remotely critical of it's posts and like crusading their opinions around from the top of their high horses and shoving it down our throats.
if you like the book, great! that's awesome! love that for you! i am genuinely glad that you were able to find good in it and enjoy it!!
but not everyone did, and not everyone is going to agree with you. so, instead of going on some grand crusade where you find every single post that includes anything even remotely negative or negative adjacent or even neutrally critical and spending ALL this time and effort trying to provide unwanted rebuttals to every single thing, maybe you should just stay in your lane and find people who DO like the book and chat about it with them.
because i can PROMISE YOU, none of us appreciate it when you come onto our posts and start accusing us of "hating on" the author or "being rude" about her and her work and RIDICULOUS shit like that.
being critical of something and pointing out it's flaws is NOT inherently hating on it. i, frankly, do not know where people got that notion, but it's not fucking true so can we fucking quit assuming it is? and, critiquing something is also NOT the same as saying this is shit and it sucks and the author is a piece of garbage. again, where the fuck that came from is beyond me. you can be critical of something and still enjoy it. as soooo many of you love to point out, it's not perfect, why should it be perfect? so D U H. of course that means criticism can and should arise???
also. hot take (by which i mean ice fucking cold because it's NOT a fucking hot take), but going around toting FALSE facts as part of your "defense" does not make you or your argument look good. you, like the author, should maybe do a basic fact check first. 🙃
tldr, if you like the book, that's genuinely great, but stay in your fucking lane and stop seeking out posts from people who didn't like it to start shit in the notes.

i love going to tumblr and seeing actual valid critiques of the live action (writing is bad, female characters are written poorly, certain changes fuck too much with the story, etc) and then go to the rest of the internet and the critiques are (azula’s actress is too overweight, mai isn’t thin enough, zuko is too ugly??). so weird to me that people are so obsessed with how these young actors look (especially when they are all still very conventionally attractive people). it’s almost like when actual poc play characters y’all have the most to say about it (unlike for ian ousley who could still very well be a white man playing an indigenous character 🤔)

Something that really bothers me with Clawdeen redesigns, second to the racist implications of making the black character overly animalistic, is like, I get wanting to go further with the design, but Clawdeens Monster inspiration while listed as generic “werewolf”, her actual monster parent is very clearly “The Wolfman”.
All the G1 ghouls monster parents are “Legendary Monsters” ie the Univeral Monsters, save for Ghoulia who is the daughter of Zombies since there isn’t a specific zombie character. Frankie to Frankenstein, Cleo to The Mummy, Draculaura to Dracula. Despite their parent monster being listed differently, Lagoonas parent is The Creature, and Clawdeens is The Wolfman.
(The proof of Lagoona Blue to The Creature from the Black Lagoon. The highlight is not mine, I grabbed this screenshot off Reddit to keep on hand)
So Clawdeen is the daughter of The Wolfman, a type of werewolf that’s more humanoid with minor wolf features. This is why the werewolves don’t have tails in Monster High, why they aren’t beastial or overly wolf-ish, they’re based on wolfman type werewolves
So that’s why they don’t have tails, paws, or wolf anatomy. The addition of the noses in G3 actually bring them closer to their inspiration.
So like yeah anyone can draw whatever they want, I just feel like the humanoid wolfman style werewolf is underutilized when redesigning or interpreting Clawdeen so I just wanted to bring this up.
