glad max friendly road
I talked a lot last year about how the "main" artwork (faux sugimori style) for Pokemon had gotten miserably stiff and boring - many of them just exactly the lifeless idle poses from the game - but a new book apparently just revealed the alternate internal art of every current Pokemon, what fans call the "dream world art" that they use on a lot of stickers and coloring books. This is the first time the public has seen this art for the last couple hundred new Pokemon.
These tend to have their own original poses and god WHAT a fucking improvement
Toxtricity's "main" illustrations were even fairly decent but the alternate art STILL shows off what they should have been:
This is the book:
It's got all the megas and gigantamaxes in it too
It was sent to me as a mediafire link that was apparently already shared on 4chan anyway so you might as well grab it for yourself while it's still up:
i think if you're going to complain about "problematic queer representation" in media you have to clarify what type of problematic you're talking about. is the bisexual character implied to be only "doing it for attention" or perpetuating homophobic stereotypes? yeah, you have a point, that's not great. is the lesbian "problematic" because she eats people? oh no that's fine, lesbians are allowed to do that if they want
"redemption arcs are toxic, you shouldn't try to fix someone!"
actually it is so important to me that being in community and experiencing human connection can save people. thanks
I just love the way the table is arranged so that they can't attack each other
I should search for my soulmate by being like "yeah sorry I'm asexual and don't particularly even like being touched... but I do own a house. Soooo......"
The Ballad of Bella Buttons (based on a true story)

I watched a bit of a Japanese Skies of Arcadia playthrough last night to hear the Japanese voices and good lord. I've never heard anything more annoying in my life. Vyse is a shrieking maniac and everyone is fucking yelling nonstop. Gilder sounds 100. ALFONSO??? Has a DEEP VOICE??? Completely unhinged. 2/10 gave me a headache.
Enrique was fine he sounds cute. Hard to fuck that up.
I knew what the main 3 sounded like from the demo but having those memories unearthed felt like violence against me, lol
Ex: I love the color green. My room is green, my hair is green, my phone background is green, etc.. If I can get an item in green, I will. I don’t wear a lot of green, but it’s like “my color” yk?
Black is separated specifically because I have a feeling a lot of tumblr users will align with that
Just curious :)
I just realized that I could share this flash game ad I saved off of MySpace in like 2005 to tumblr.
It’s so important to me. It makes me feel like I’m losing my mind even after 20 years.
this is more y2k than 1000 gifsets
You'd really think that "the teacher from jimmy neutron but there's a gay flag in the background and she has hair photoshopped onto her that actually belongs to Dain from Deltora Quest of all fucking people" would be an insane thing that I would either dream about, or make up on my own, but no. I found this image approximately 900 years ago and I stared at it like. Wait a minute. is that Dain's fucking hair.
Here is the image.
And like. Yeah. That's Dain's hair. Why? Who would make this? What was the point? Did they know how funny they were being by using a gay flag and also the hair of a very gay anime character? Did they google "purple haired anime lesbian" and get a picture of Dain, who is a horrific shapeshifting monster created by the Shadow Lord boy?
Look. I think this is the exact fucking screenshot the hair was taken from. Because of course I'd have that. It is a screenshot I took myself.
I feel like I'm going fucking crazy it's definitely this screenshot
this post brought to you by being tortured by this image and knowledge of its sourcing for eleven years
This is still one of the greatest things ever made.
If you got enough money to live happily and comfortably for the rest of your life, but everyone who saw you immediately knew what fandom you are in and understood what that means, would you take it?

It's really funny that I got out of jury duty a few months ago by telling the judge and lawyers that I hate cops
