I usually feel like it's an unnecessary and possibly rude detail to mention I picture Phoenix chubby and Miles fat, but I assure you when I talk about them that is how they look. I am beaming it directly into your head. You can visualize them however you want otherwise, but for at least as long as it takes you to read my writing they are fat, and you don't get a say in this
I'm half joking but like. At the same time I'm dead serious about this and I'm not entirely sure why I'm so defensive. This is just Very Important to me as a fat person
The eternal struggle of "if I mention this it'll throw people off since it's just a headcanon" versus "I need people to understand my interpretation of these characters EXACTLY"
And like, it's usually fine if it's something widely accepted, or a fic centering around the headcanon, but you can't really off-handedly mention chronic pain, or a mental disability, or a body type that directly contradicts canon, without worrying about people being caught off guard and asking questions
...did this just accidentally turn into a commentary on ableism and fatphobia in fandom. i don't know enough about that to pick a fight or something fuck go back
Unfortunately I tend to assume people are gonna be obtuse, because more often than not there's at least one or two people that demand to know why I've made this character neurodivergent or fat or trans. And it's just... why shouldn't I. If that seriously ruins the experience for you, then I think you might need to reexamine yourself, because these people do exist in everyday life, believe it or not
I think it's important to have casual representation, but I still have internalized ableism and fatphobia and transphobia I struggle with, and that hinders me from adding things without justification because I've needed to go my whole life justifying my not being skinny and cis and neurotypical. But the thing is I don't have to justify the existence of those things, in myself or the characters I write about. They're just things that happen, conditions that exist, and more people need to get that through their heads
I’ve finally finished this. I started this about 2 years ago but put the
animation on hold for a long time because I couldn’t figure out how to
continue it for some time. A lot of the animation I did last year and
finished up this year. Anyway, I like Braxien a lot and felt it would be
decent practice to try to animate something interesting involving it so
here it is.
WHY does team rockets pokedex talk like this ???
Pokédex: dreadnaw, the BITE Pokemon! A water and rock type. And I don’t- I don’t know?
Powokedex: Drednyaw, DA BITE Powokemon! A wata and wock type UwU. And I dwon’t- I dwon’t know? ÓwÒ
I saw some other vids and good god I love their rotom dex. They’re so sarcastic and theres even a scene where they’re like “oh that’s a dark typed pokemon named, honestly I’m just not feeling it today. Night” or something like that
Happy Pokemon day, everyone! In celebration of Sinnoh, have a sweet little buizel.
how the fuck is this even real
it looks like ridely and isabelle are snake and cloud’s fursona’s
If i knew like 5% less about video games and you tried to tell me which of these characters were named Snake and Cloud and which ones were named Ridley and Isabelle i would NOT believe you
the funniest thing about zim is that in many ways, hes exactly what irkens idealize: hes driven by the mission, worshipful of the tallest, unable to accept failure, and an absolutely ruthless and vengeful little dude. hes exactly what they want from a soldier and its probably why he made invader at all in impending doom 1.
and yet... hes so goddamn incompetent, and almost entirely because hes so eager to please and unwilling to accept failure (and dont forget that petty streak). he has to lie and reframe his failures, because the irken empire doesnt fail. he has to take revenge on those who hurt him because the irken empire does not let insolence go unpunished and is quick to make an example of those who do not perfectly fall in line (remember when the tallest threw the wrong guy out an airlock for saying he didnt remember what a fuck-up zim was? and then theyre just like ehhh you all get the message)
hes like gods funny little joke on the irken empire for their massive hubris and war crimes. he internalized alllllll their ideals perfectly, and then he went and fucking set his own planet on fire. even sending him off to earth on a fruitless "invasion" couldnt save them from the empire's most loyal servant
irk absolutely deserves all the chaos zim brings them, and i hope one day he serves them to death
all of this is double funny when you realize that the cure for all their zim ills is for the tallest to disband the empire and stop invading other planets. thats it! zim would go along with whatever they said because the only reason he wants to be an invader is because its what his tallest say the best irken are meant to be. if they said only the best of irkens learn to tap dance hed break his legs learning how to please them
god i love this little green punishment to his people
The idea that Invader Zim is some perfect Greek tragedy was not the take I expected to hear today
