I've been meaning to write this post for a hot minute, but the thing about the Winged Lion is that he's like a triple religious fakeout. When he's first introduced, it's a "Oh, of course. The prophecy thing that means well." or whatever. Then he treads on the line of "Demons/Satan/what have you present as beings of light/angels," ie "Oh, he's tricking you for his own benefit and acting like a creature of pure intentions," which he then subverts in that he genuinely thinks what he's doing is good. He genuinely wants people to be happy all the time. While it is for his own gain, ie him being happy, it still is for the perceived sake of others. "Don't you want this? You can have this. I'm sorry that you've been through so much, here's a solution."
The Winged Lion's shtick lacks the free will/rebellion that's crucial to being Lucifer. There's nobody to rebel against to land him where he stands in an eternal state of dissatisfaction. It's just the plain and simple circumstances. You could also argue about lines to draw to the Old Testament God, especially with "Humans wished to worship me with sacrifice, and who was I to stop them" type shit. The reason my detestment of the Winged Lion runs so deep isn't because he's "The Devil," it's because he's God, especially with the idea of "He just wants to help, he thinks he knows what's best for everyone."

More Pokémon Horizons Episode 25 spoilers under the cut!
As much as I laughed from how this played out like an unintentionally comedic moment---can I mention how much this actually does to separate Amethio from the rest of the Explorers; how he's actually honorable and respects Friede as a rival of sorts?
The rest of the Explorers tend to use underhanded tricks to get what they want (Spinel brainwashing Liko and attempting to wipe her memory, Onyx and Sango trying to overwhelm the others against direct orders whilst causing the destruction of everything else around them), but Amethio has been unique in how he's regarded as 'by the books' (by Friede) and constantly tries to be on equal footing with his opponent- even if it means putting himself at the disadvantage when he has more resources to utilize.
He could've very easily overwhelmed Friede by having both of his mons attack at once (given how Captain Pikachu hadn't arrived yet)---and yet he- doesn't. Which is just so interesting to me as he's meant to have a similar goal as the rest of the Explorers (which is to retrieve the pendant/Terapagos by any means necessary).
So in this case, was it really a matter of defeating Friede so that he could easily confront Liko afterwards,,, or,,,,, was he trying to prove himself somehow? 👀✨✨✨

It’s so funny to me seeing like very obviously uncomfortable straight ppl try to address welcome home with like an ‘objective’ lens with theories like..,,.. totally ignoring the queerness that it was crafted from.,,.. like bro the entire reason for uncomfort that these characters feel in this seemingly ‘perfect’ world is BECAUSE THEY CANNOT BE THEMSELVES! THEY ARE NOT THEMSELVES BECAUSE THEY ARE IN A SHOW!!!! THE FORCED HETEROSEXUALITY BECAUSE SHOW WRITER COULDNT JUST WRITE IN A GAY COUPLE INTO A KIDS SHOW IS??? LITERALLY A PLOT POINT????????? Like if you literally ignore the inherent queerness of the storytelling and ways in which these characters feel “not right” and “out of place” then I feel like you’re missing the entire point of the media bro

Would you be open to selling prints of your work?
I’ve actually been looking into it for a while! I’m gonna be honest, might even try and open up a shop sometime this or next week if anyone is interested 👀
so yeah, probably really soon! keep an eye out, I’ll keep y’all updated :]
(I’ve been kinda stuck on deciding if I want to go with a print-on-demand service like inprint or something of the sort, or go for the print everything myself route. for now though print-on-demand is the option I’m probably going to go with!)

It's a bad idea me and you.
It's bad idea me and you.
Let's just keep kissing till we come to
April and Donnie had always been best friends through thick and thin. The change in leadership and the cracking of the bro's dynamic? Just another thick and thin they're gonna work through together... Just, they do it differently this time.
The first step into stepping in uncharted waters is recognizing that this isn't a good idea... and then endlessly ignoring that.
New Apritello fic is up and alive on ao3, read it here, darlin♪( ´▽`)
