History of Detective Pikachu

2013: "Too bad this game is never going to be finished"

2016: "Too bad this game is never going to get an English translation"

2018: "Oh my god, they actually released it outside of Japan? Oh, it ended on a cliffhanger. Too bad it's never going to get a sequel."

2019: "Ex-fucking-scuse me??????"

2023:

"WHAT"

#pokémon #detective pikachu #detective pikachu returns #I still can't fucking believe the nearly cancelled weird Motion Captured animation Pokémon detective game I watched videos about in 2013 #GOT TURNED INTO A BIG BUDGET HOLLYWOOD MOVIE STARRING RYAN REYNOLDS????? #The live action Pokémon movie people dreamed about for years came out then nobody in the Pokémon fandom ever talked about it again #Seriously the history of this spinoff is FASCINATING. I feel like it should be a bigger deal than it actually is #Btw anyone remember Jwittz? He was one of the earlier PokéTubers #Idk if he still post videos but he was an icon in my early Pokémon fan days. Plus he introduced me to Hoppip :)

moodboard for this past week ❤️

#they should invent a grad school thats not fucking insane #i'm hanging in there but im the most unwell i've been in AWhile #this week was just horrible #there was already the freezer food incident but it also started off with a very severe pain episode thats putting me in constant woe #even mundane motion has been agonizing which is McAwesome bc we had a lab inspection which involved moving hundreds of pounds of equipment #during which we found a blackwidow and rats which we had to deal with and was a whole thing psychologically on top of the physical toll #the new class fiasco is still popping off and i had to respond to at this point over 400 emails in the fleeting moments outside of lab #AND A STUDENT TRIED TO FINANCIALLY BRIBE THEIR WAY INTO THE CLASS ? ?? ?? ????? #then the instructor wanted to use me as a guinea pig and i had to test new circuit boards but I wasnt given any time to do so properly #i had to test them plus get them operational and deal with my incoming students all in a frantic 10 minute window #im in charge of running our meetings too but the instructor was interrupting and having side conversations that made it really hard- #to train the other people on the new equipment in a smooth manner #which meant that a bunch of people had to keep me after to ask questions which made me late for my drs appointment #where i found out i cant get the new covid vaccine bc my heart and blood levels arnt stable enough #and joanns lost an expensive+critical fabric order of mine+i had to give a big presentation this week on my research that was stressful #and my inbox is still blowing up from being needed all over the place between teaching lab and classes and yall i am. so so tired. #im in so much pain and so stressed out #debating the ethics of turning into a pile of lint to escape my responsibilities and mortal frame

okay depression cancelled. I GOT INTO A MASTER'S PROGRAM!!!! I got a full ride on tuition, and they're paying me a solid salary to be a graduate assistant both years. they are literally paying me to go to school here. I FUCKING DID IT!!!

#it's not at either of my top schools... those are the ones i DIDN'T get into. #BUT STILL!!! a full ride plus a stipend is a big deal #it's actually at my alma mater. which i'm not upset about either. i love this town with my whole entire heart. #i actually can not shut up about this i'm so excited

[pansyfemme]

kinda hyped going to a musical theatre confrence tommorow and i fucking love those even tho 9/10 readings ive seen at these things suck ass

#i think readings and preproduction stuff only sounds like a cool thing to have seen in retrospect after a show gets big #because if you’ve ever been to an early production of a new musical you know they can be kind of a chore #they’re always way too long and changing songs around constantly #people make a big deal about ‘cut songs’ but any musical you’ve seen likely has many many cut songs its just how it is #new musicals tend to be rougher than new plays just by nature #but i still love seeing early stuff just bc its kinda fun tbh #this is a weird confrence because while there are a lot of professionals there its also like. a rich person event #so like there always forms a little divide between the press (and ppl like me. the plus one) and the professionals and the ppl who just #gave a lot of money to the theatre #appriciate their donation but we do stick out #but yeah. i loooove seeing stuff in progress and also attending panels #(theres one on trans actors in musical theatre im excited about) #but its gonna be like a 12 hour day bc the place is a bit of a drive and then its all day panels and readings and then a cabaret #im glad im not in highschool anymore bc getting home at 1am used to KILL me lmao

Happy Easter!

#I'm wearing a dress today for only the second time in about 10 years #and i feel really pretty so that's a huge plus #easter isn't as big a deal to me as Christmas is #(...mostly because spring is the harbinger of summer and i loath them both lol) #but it's still a lovely and wonderful celebration of my faith and I'm really looking forward to church today #I'm even singing a real choir piece with the choir which i haven't done in AGES #singing yes. choral pieces not as much #my faith journey over the last year or so has been rocky to say the least #just in the last two weeks there have been two... incidents with my dad in particular #but i feel like I'm growing toward the sun like a determined dandelion and my roots are deeper than ever #and what better time to celebrate that than Resurrection Sunday? #... anyway i may be getting deep on main but at least it's in the tags lol #not mcyt #redwintertalks

i actually gave up earlier because yt was so laggy, but there was one more missing bit in part 4, prem walking to the cafe where he finds ten sleeping

i don't know why it was cut, because it's nice to see just how affected prem is by their big moment the previous night

and i like that dy is calling prem because dy needs support, but he's immediately concerned as soon as prem says he's not doing okay. i like how these pals support each other! (really wish we'd seen metha and ten giving fire the support he needed this episode, but you can't have everything i guess)

unrelated: anyone else fighting for their lives on yt lately? on firefox with adblock plus and HOLY SHIT it's SO FUCKING BUGGY and the algo recommends SO MUCH MORE unfiltered hot garbage :/

<prev ep 07 missing bit 💚

#cooking crush the series #cooking crush #cooking crush missing bits #idk i wasn't quite feeling it this week? maybe it is simply The Depression but something just felt kinda off #i think it genuinely bugs me that fire had to deal with his big feelings alone? the friend group dynamic is a big part of what i like here #like ofc it's realistic! people aren't always available! just feels unbalanced. and dy having to take care of drunk fire is kinda weak #plus so much of what made me curious about the show was the parent/child dynamics and what it means to be a Good Child #fire is very much a Good Child! but being gay does not a Good Child make! would've been nice to see him work through this with his FRIENDS #but i expected too much for a side character's storyline i suppose #not saying the show sucks ass like i'm still enjoying it and still along for the ride! #i just have some Feelings i guess #OMG ALSO ten's dad WILL slap him but won't take his phone away lollllllll like what a week for bl parenting

[pepprs]

im home and already swallowed by despair. can you believe i was in CHICAGO a few hours ago. and now im here. lol

#i know i know. and i need to let the anguish motivate me to get out of here. but it feels like i dreamed it all #purrs #chicago #i had a rough time getting out of the hotel and through the airport to my gate and also im bad at math so i fucked up the calculation about #when my flight lands bc of the time zone change and i gave my parents the time in central time not eastern time so my dad was waiting for m #for like a half hour and texting me and i wasn’t answering bc i was still in the air and he was pissed at me and snarky in my texts with hi #and i was sitting there on the plane and could just feel his words ripping into me and the horrors rushing back in and i still haven’t #recovered from it honestly. it wasn’t that big of a deal he just said something that i misunderstood as him saying he was giving up waiting #for me and going home bc id already wasted his time and even though that was not what he actually said it just kinda burrowed into me that #my parents were mad at me and were probably also mad at me for not communicating with them AT ALL the entire time i was in chicago. and it #just was eating me alive. im home now and we haven’t talked about it but they did say things disapproving of the fact that i did a lot of #stuff by myself which i probably shouldn’t have told them. idk. it’s not even that bad i just am torn apart by their rejection of me and #utter inability to just like be happy for me without criticizing some part of it or restraining me. plus the house is just as much of a #biohazard as it was when i left and all the broken things are still broken and it’s like. a lot. i miss the hotel LOL #i think im just sleep deprived and not in my head right today but i do not want to be here. sinking in quicksand unable to breathe. but i #have to be the one to get me out of it and i should have learned how in chicago but i didn’t it was just a break and now im stuck again #delete later #kind of terrible that instead of being so proud and happy about what i did my immediate reaction is to be miserable that im home now lol

It's really funny how Tommy has had a pretty successful year, and yet no inniters argued that he deserved a streamy. It's almost as if most of the inniters are just dteam antis and don't actually care about Tommy's and his content 🤷‍♀️

But yeah, Tommy is taking L's from every side. I almost wanna feel bad for him, but I really can't

I'm sure there are inniters who care but it does seem like they've all been kinda quiet lately. like they were all celebrating when he made the skit but now? idk. maybe hes just been too much drama lol.

#i think its partially because all of them are now either still c/tommy stans living in 2021 or they are q smp/lovejpy stans and dont really #care for tommys content anymore #plus i mean usually with award stuff people just say its not a big deal and oh of course dream won hes the most popular #askies

DEAN: Cas, I just can't...

[youtube]

dean's perspective on godstiel arc. the way cas failed him. the feeling of abandonment. the obligation to control. affection for cas souring on his tongue as the imaginary idol he built in his mind shatters. the trials and tribulations of being the center of the universe.

that is not my lover and that's not even my friend.

#spn #vid #so. director's commentary. this video is mostly about dean's control issues with a couple of other themes. #like it's both about how dean feels responsible for cas (see: 'clear my name' over 'cas you child why didn't you listen to me' and also #death blaming dean for godstiel (????)) but it's also about how cas used to be someone dean felt he could control and that's no longer true #like cas used to be someone dean felt like he could just get to do anything. and now he's not and that's kind of a shocking revelation that #renders cas mysterious and unknowable and scary #like when dean felt he could control cas. when he felt like they were in it together. then it could just be the two of them against the #rest of the world (we made love in the tower of babel and it fell down). but now cas isn't doing what dean says #and worse: he has other loyalties. loyalty to god/heaven which is NOT acceptable in dean's book. it means there's a part of cas dean can't #have and dean can't deal with that. it's also bound up with another theme of this video which is: dean and cas' relationship is on the #rocks in s6 because sam died and cas didn't and cas didn't fix it and also he's still loyal to angels/god (very different things for cas #but the same to dean) and dean blames them for sam's death. and then sam continues to be not really back for most of s6 so dean's still mad #plus cas and dean haven't seen each other for a year so dean has had tons of time to massage his memories of cas to be more pleasing #so dean has all these idealized memories of cas and a cas who obeyed him when he threatened to withdraw affection and a cas who was alone #in the world and only his and now he's faced with the real cas who values other things higher than dean's approval and has other commitmnts #and he hates that cas for not being the cas in his head who is perfect. and also now that they're having this big conflict dean is denying #that cas was ever anything but his enemy and the object of his hatred. because he's so angry and also because he blames himself for #anything his loves ones do that's outside his control because he has huge control issues so the only way to assuage the guilt is by #denying that cas was ever one of his loved ones #oh and also the montage of dean refusing to help cas/helping very grudgingly/demanding things of cas is there as a contrast. to show that #the ideal cas who needed nothing from dean and did everything dean wanted never existed. he's an invention in dean's mind #and also that sequence is the explanation for WHY cas didn't go to dean (which is what dean's maddest about because it takes away control): #he had no reason to think dean would help. and if dean actually thought about it he'd realize that. but dean's self-image is OFF the WALL #and cas in 4x18 is THEE idealized image of cas because he's breaking ranks to be with dean he's choosing dean and doing what dean wants #because dean is able to get through to him EMOTIONALLY ('we're done') which is what dean likes. rationality is nothing to dean #and dean denies 'are you god' not only because he's denying any former affection for cas. he's also denying that he would ever put anyone #(god. heaven. cas.) in an authority position above himself. only he can be the authority. because he's angry and so all the cracks in his #shell close up. he has to maintain his identity as a Real Man invested in Freedom and Power harder than ever. he can't be told what to do #oh and 'under the bridges of fame it's always nighttime.' that's about dean being The Protagonist. & the consequences cas suffers from that

marvel should hire me to write bc i'd pull the funniest thing on earth where i am wiping his catholic slate CLEAN and i would explcitily have him go ehhhh i've never really been religious me and my dad went some easters and christmases and attended a few services outside of that but that stopped by the time i was around 10 and my dad just kinda gave up on it because he didn't particularly want to go by that point either. and even then we hadn't gone every year for easter and christmas in that time frame. and then we never bring that shit up again in the story. he is only catholic in the sense he went a few times and it's the only church experience he knew and his dad probably grew up going to church more in his youth being dragged in by his family but he never felt particularly compelled to go back to it once he moved out on his own. catholic only in the fact that his family was irish catholic but his dad is a lapsed catholic who did not give a fuuuuuck

#based off my own father's filipino catholic experiences. and my own religious experiences in general. bc my mom's protestant but still didnt #raise me religiously. i've been to church a handful of times and it was never bad but it never ever stuck. i just kinda remember some stuff #and what i do know it's more from the general cultural osmosis of american christianity than anything #plus i grew up in a known for its religiosity suburb. but again. that still didnt really rub off on me. #in my mind jack is a guy who when entering a church will still dip his fingers in the holy water and cross with it #and matt watches and maybe mimics but he doesnt really get it still bc their service attendance has been so extremely infrequent. #so i imagine it's far more like that for matt than the insane bs they've been pullin the last few years. given the you know. #50 somethings years of established only really culturally casually catholic matt. bc well. why wouldnt he be new york irish catholic. #i imagine is the thought process. but i will never be a fan of how it's a big deal now. bc it just never has been. ever #and that's not to say a character cannot become religious or be religious or have it become more of a thing in their life! #very much it can be done. but i think it's been done piss poor. from all i've seen and what i've read of recent stuff. so it's just bad. #like it isnt done in a meaningfully way or sensical to my understanding. it's like. pure show pandering fanon appeal. #so it's utterly meaningless as a whole with no point or purpose aside from it #can we go back to just using it for cool art visuals bc i think we can all appreciate a cool splash page of a church fight and stuff #but please. dont try to make it more than that if you arent going to do it well #SORRY I KNOW EVERYONE ON PLANET DD HAS MADE THIS POST BUT I REMEMBER AND GET SOOOOO IRRITATED!!!!! IT'S SO STUPID POINTLESS DUMB I HATE ITT #static.soundz

i need someone to hold a gun to my head every time i consider an unnecessary purchase fr 🤡

#unemployed but i stay silly #anyway....bought two hydrangeas.... #they're pretty..... #<3 #the reblooming kind 🥰 #i could not afford them but they were a good deal #not as much as the flowering trees i bought two days ago #but much bigger!! #in the two gallon pots #so i dont have to wait for them to get big to start looking nice #they're big enough i can probably take cuttings also :) #im gonna make the pond look so pretty!! #rn it looks really sad and swampy lmao #but w a little landscaping it will look like a feature :) #plus is has pretty fishies in it #and im ripping out all the invasive stuff and i need plants to replace them with to stabilize the soil #thats my story and i'm sticking to it #also if there's nice bushes that will take up space so the weeds dont come back #hopefully #anyways this is a cheap time of year to buy stuff bc its all dormant #and its going to be 60f tomorrow!!!! #so my garden fever is crazy rn #i have literally two crocuses in bloom rn and thats it lol #but my daffodils have visible buds on some of them so soon i will hopefully not be insane #this warm day should speed things up a lot #anyway #i will share pics of my garden when its pretty <3 #going for koi pond vibes #but idk if i can add koi in w the goldfish #the goldfish are pretty big but possibly still small enough that the koi would eat them

[yioh]

:0 i didn’t know there were people complaining that 23.5 is boring ???? i was so entertained for the entire episode i thought it literally flew by😭 the characters and acting is so fun idk i just loved the general tone of the drama and the pacing was just perfect… like the show is just so silly and light hearted and perfect to watch when you wanna de-stress 🥺 icb ppl are being this “critical” about it 💀 i get that media is subjective but all the negative reviews cant rly justify why it’s boring lol maybe they just don’t like it??? idk

#the only complaint i have is they didn’t introduce ongsa’s family properly bec im still confused why ongsa just moved in and how they’re #all related #but that’s a minor issue imo #like i fully enjoyed the entire episode and it has me excited and anticipating the next ones sm 🥺🥺🫶🫶 #plus i’m REALLY picky w my shows man so that’s a big deal lol i haven’t watched and enjoyed a bl/gl drama in ages sooooo #even dropped my school president lol

“hey so there’s been a bunch of exposures recently but we’re gonna have the volunteer party this week bc it’s outdoors so we’ll be fine. yeah it’s a bunch of people all talking maskless face to face in relatively close proximity but we’re outside so any transmission would of course be impossible” be so fucking for real

#i love this place i love volunteering there. they have air purifiers around the center and tell people in no other words that if they’re #feeling unwell in the slightest they shouldn’t come in. they’re offering free tests to anyone exposed. they’re doing so much more than so #many other places and a lot of times it’s a place im able to relax a bit #but im just. exhausted. a week from tomorrow will be the three year anniversary of my dad dying from covid so im already in a bad place #plus covid in general is a trigger for me because. yknow. i watched it slowly strangle the life from my father until he was a grey #breathless husk who couldn’t walk three steps or say three words without panting. and that was when we made him go to the hospital #and then the next time he came home it was just his ashes in a bag #but it’s been four years. five if you count the early cases that popped up in 2019. and we’re still dealing with this shit #im just tired of it. im too exhausted to have a full sobbing shaking breakdown so ive gone to the other end of the spectrum and just feel #heavy and hollow. i should probably have a big cry but i don’t have the tears or energy #vent tw #im just hoping my n95 and the air purifiers were enough to keep me from contracting it at all. the worry is the n95 could’ve been loose and #sometimes the metal on the nose loosens slightly but the mask was pretty new overall so im hoping it worked to its full capacity and kept #out any covid molecules so that i didn’t contract any #only time will tell i suppose. in the mean time #im just praying a lot bc that’s the only control i have. i will be saying the shema whenever i get too stressed about it

#i can’t believe this conversation is still happening and i can’t believe just how difficult it is for some people to accept that he was #reacting positively to being addressed as daddy jokingly like the sign said daddy? As an address and he replied yes? #reacting to being addressed like that and probably thinking he’s just going to be fun #plus making it a point he’s reacting to a guy’s sign like that while im pretty sure he ignores a lot of women with these #like what’s the big deal why the denial and the mental gymnastics #and he literally repeated it several times bc he was like yes im listening bc the guy was just laughing #ANYWAY apparently im going to be voicing opinions today

#is it weird to say that I want more friends that look like me #like in the sense that all my friends are of average/skinny body types #and so when I talk about any struggles about being physically bigger they can relate to some feelings but #they are not classified as mid or plus sized #so they don’t relate to a lot of things #and I just want someone that understands what I go through both in trying to date and in just regular life as well #not that they don’t try to understand #but it’s not the same if that makes sense #like I appreciate them trying and being there #but I have one friend that is still not understanding some of my frustrations with certain things #and she’s like well just don’t talk to those people or just ignore it or it’s not that big of a deal #or things along those lines #and she never realized how hard it is to find someone even slightly attracted to #to me #like we sat there and I explained some of my experiences #and she never knew #and then she’s like well you don’t deserce that #and like yes I know that but you’re not understanding the fact that there is a very small majority that would even look in my direction #like we talked over an hour and she still thinks it’s just as easy as ignoring people etc #like I had to explain how the people that I talk to on apps that I’m on plus size and give that disclaimer and hope they don’t unmatch or #just stop talking to me #I don’t know #just like I want more friends that can closer relate to how I feel without having to explain it #I’m not saying my friends can’t or don’t go through similar things #but they are still skinny/average to society’s standards #and that makes it hard to talk about my struggles #if that makes sense #anyway rant over #idek if that made sense #Sams feelings

It kinda feels like when the Owl Crew were all saying their goodbyes to working on the show again.

Nearly everyone in the tags is getting ready for The End.

Like. Damn. It really is the end as far as we know for the entire franchise of The Owl House.

Man.

#its also giving SPoP and SU flashbacks #except its happening in the evening and not during the afternoon like SU or at an all-at-once-release deal like SPoP #getting p emotional #I do remember early in the days. like when Ms Dana Terrace was still in the dt team and doodled Luz #alongside Rebecca Sugar Ian JQ and I think alex hirsch #and ofc the first real poster #and watching it on youtube when it first aired. and even watching it on TV. #I remember a lot of it with twitter too. that viney cult thing. the hype for Understanding Willow. the pic of lil Luz smiling going around. #I remember tons of fics. The Lumity azura actor au thats been LOONG abandoned lmao. the one where Luz was the author of tgwa. tons more. #Of course the excessive hype for Grom. #The hype for the S1B trailer was huge too but Grom. You cannot replicate that. And yknow what? Id go as far to say #not even Hollow Mind had that much hype behind it. #Plus the huge amounts of news coverage and hype after Grom aired. #Like the show was fairly popularish. Nothing too big and was about even with amphibby. But after Grom. BOOM. Huge amounts. #I could really go on. I just cant really believe that its kinda unfairly going away. Possibly never to return. One of The most talked about #animated shows in the past couple years (similar to the likes of Steven Universe! Which was HUGE.) even worldwide. #Nothing lasts forever. It just is unfair the time spent was taken away tho. Happened to others too. Happens so much to animation #and we just Have to accept it because higher-ups are either to proud to their stupid ideals or simply for no real good reason. #This show has had a good impact on animation. I'm always gunna be glad for that. And I'm glad that so many have been touched and loved. #Here's hoping to the future. Maybe more Owl House. Maybe more creativity by the crew. Maybe for better. To The Owl House! #The Owl House #TOH #Owl House
