I need to vent, it's been really tiring trying to look for Pokémon content recently. Ive been trying to avoid the Palworld stuff as much as possible but it's really annoying since the Palworld fanbase is starting to hijack EVERY SINGLE recent Pokémon post on Instagram and YouTube and starting fights in the comments section with the Pokémon fans.
I'm getting second hand embarrassment because some Pokémon fans haven't even heard of Palworld and those arguments are usually just people being completely confused by (from their perspective) the totally unprompted shouting/insulting matches from the Palworld fans
I'm just sitting there like, Just…. Holy shit shut up, go away, I'm trying to enjoy Pokémon stuff. Palworld fans, you're not making your game look good if you're going about being toxic to other people. Maybe try saying "If you like Pokémon, you should try Palworld" and describe what's cool about it instead of kicking the door down on unsuspecting people and screaming "YOU'RE ALL SHILLS AND BOOTLICKERS FOR PLAYING POKÉMON!!!!"
That is embarrassing. What the hell? I've seen some of those people on the Scarlet/Violet sub Reddit but they're usually lambasted for being so off topic. Otherwise I just block people for comparing the two because they're always being so disingenuous about both Palworld and Pokemon. After the shit that has been spewed towards me for simply saying that I like the games I'm just fucking done.
I've seen my husband play some of it and it really doesn't look like any Pokemon game I've played before. (I specifically saw a Liligant thing in a cage and a bunch of dead bodies. One of them had their heads stuck underground.)
The only thing that's comparable to Pokemon are the stolen assets and the Pokeball system. So comparing the gameplay for both games doesn't make any sense. Game Freak haters are just trying anything to justify their extreme hatred for the company.
About your Next Gen AU, I need to know what Rhea's relationship with her parents is like. The idea of Rhyme and Reason being a mom and dad is too adorable to me 🥺
they're pretty doting parents towards Rhea and dotting towards each other. Also the type to give out nicknames.
nicknames range anywhere from snowball to crystal
rhea pretends she's annoyed by all the lovey-dovey stuff. and wants nothing to do with it. meanwhile she stuff romance novels under her pillow to read later-
"lookat our child looklook!🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺"
I hope you all know that I think of you as your profile pics. Like, that's how I picture what you look like IRL. @crazywolf85, I think of you as a tiny lugui with internet access. @toonycatuwu, I picture as Tobey. @melonthesprigatito, I think of you as a sprigatito with internet access who somehow knows English.
And I hope everyone here pictures me as a roblox man with a gun wearing melon skin as clothes
Okay so funny story- I recovered and re-did that little animatic I started months ago for a school project just because I didn't want that one neat animated bit to waste. It's not perfect but I figured I'd post it anyways
(Also I'm tagging @melonthesprigatito bc I figured they'd want to see this-)
Ok word girl fandom i need your help, i don't know if I dreamt this but I have to assume it's a real post even though it's been a literal hour and I cannot find it but if any of y'all remember a fic where Reason proposes to Rhyme but does it in a way where she can't rhyme a 'Yes' and goes on a tantrum can you PLEASE PLEASE LINK IT. Or write it, if it turns out I really did dream it?
My brain: F*ck you *Eeveelutionizes your favourite Word Girl bad guys*:
AKA @melonthesprigatito gets a new drawing app on her phone and immediately decides to car crash her two favourite fandoms into each other.
Introducing GlaceRhyme and Reavee, they're here to steal your shit and look adorable while doing it
(Originally I was going to draw Reason as a Leafeon to match Rhyme's Glaceon, then I remembered the "I wanted to call us Super Strong Woman With Freeze Breath and Normal Guy. I would be Normal Guy" gag, so Normal Type Pokémon it is. (Plus it means he's automatically shorter than Rhyme, so it works out)
It's like the character designers were like "Let's take this horrifically powerful supervillain and make her look as adorable as humanly possible by giving her glasses, buck teeth, pale blue anime hair and a bubbly, hyper personality". I want to hug her, but she'd probably accidentally break all my bones in the process. It would be worth it though.
Miss Power is probably going to be like "Wow, who are these two clowns? Eh, never mind, I beat every single villain in this city single handedly, what are two extra bad guys gonna do to me?" And then Rhyme just wrecks her. It's literally ice queen VS cold blooded lizard lady. Miss Power doesn't stand a chance. And god forbid Miss Power tries to hurt Reason first. Rhyme would be like "So you have chosen death.”
They have a great concept, with their hyper girl/ down to earth guy dynamic and Rhyme's superpowers (and the rhyming obviously) and their friendship is so adorable. The writers really wasted their potential by only adding them in the very last episode.
