Man, lemme tell you, this transition was a TRIP to watch in realtime.
Now that i’ve met so many people and been through so much i finally understand that i need to change, even if just a little in unnoticeable ways, and i feel like being around you is helping me do that. I feel like i’m becoming a better person than i was before. i feel like i’m learning how to change for the better.
jessie from pokemon is such an upsetting character bc her life has been a failure since the very beginning
she is a broken person
unlike for james, who could quit at any time and return to a comfortable life, for jessie, team rocket is everything she has.
she lived in poverty, with a mother who was a criminal, and they were so poor they ate snow

her mother disappeared, looking for mew. there was never a mention of jessie having a father

she wanted to be an actress, and decided to take that route instead of going with a boy she loved, but she ended up losing both as her audition didn’t go through

she wanted to be a nurse, but failed

and now she keeps failing trying to catch that god damned pikachu
as much as i like dawn i almost want jessie to win all the ribbons because she fucking deserves to be happy and she deserves those victories and she deserves a friend like james

*wipes a tear* u go girl
this post is good except for one tiny detail, and that’s that james cannot just “quit at any time and return to a comfortable life”
james’ family has riches and luxury, yes, but his parents are neglectful & uncaring and have engaged him to an abuser. they refuse to let him live in the lap of luxury unless he marries her and spends his whole life miserable.
everything about jessie and james is, from where i’m standing, intended to be opposite. james is a soft-spoken boy from a family that knows wealth but not love. jessie is a headstrong and outspoken girl from a family that knows love but is dirt poor.
the thing they have in common is that neither of them found happiness until they found each other (and meowth, of course) i know this post is about jessie, and trust me–she fucking deserves it–but you can praise her like the queen she is without making it sound like her partner has it easy. neither of them could live the lives that were handed to them with a smile on their face, and they’re both amazingly strong people for continuing to work hard every day, even if it is as antagonists.
I cant believe there is finally an analysis on team rocket im so proud
I wanted to post some new art but then Clip Studio Paint froze on me after I’d completely finished it and was trying to export it. =)
This was the best quality image I managed to salvage, just, uh… don’t zoom in too much. Not too proud of how it turned out either way but hey practice makes perfect I guess. I’ll post a better-quality one if it decides to unfreeze. Now if you’ll excuse me I’m gonna go scream into a pillow.

It used to be that “stuff in your orbit” was a passive suggestion.
All day I’ve been trying to figure out why my dashboard flow has been stuttering and incoherent.
Turns out, they turned “stuff in your orbit” into the same damned thing as “best stuff first” and you have to turn it off in order to see your actual dash in actual chronological order.
Otherwise, you basically only see the feed as if it was a mishmash of your mutuals’(?) likes.
@staff NO ONE WANTS NON CHRONOLOGICAL DASHBOARDS. THAT’S NOT HOW MOST OF US USE TUMBLR
I’m not sure if it’s been rolled out to all mobile and non-mobile accounts, but if you notice that the dash isn’t moving as quickly as it once did….well, blame the new feature
At first I thought it was just tumblr being weird and laggy. But once I turned it off, there’s like, a lotttttt of things that weren’t there two minutes ago.
@hellsatmyfeet, on mobile at least, it’s under general settings >> dashboard preferences, and you can toggle it off and on
GUYS THIS SHIT IS BACK PLS GO UNBLOOP IT ^^^^^^
