sympathetic reading: most tankies are fine actually and care more about organizing and helping people than your average liberal, despite having politically‐incorrect authoritarian takes

less‐sympathetic reading: the desire to avoid appearing bourgeois sometimes prevents the people who do good things from speaking about them in good ways, because they conflate cultural sensitivity with liberalism

common reading: the insight that words and actions don’t always line up goes both ways

don’t take “communist friends” too literally; i’d say “comrades” if i meant my actual crew

• Amanita is also “old friends” with Bill in Johto

*pokémon black 2 and white 2

pokémon black has like five different people who all canonically knew each other in college and it's like the marauders only they’re all milfs or cat ladies in the present day

(the answer is because nobody else has, for some reason)

why do i want to write about lesbian Gen Xers in pokémon graduate school in the 90s

ugh help i came up with more story ideas

« I think I'll have a little ice cream to cool my head... Ice cream... That ice-cream cone Fennel brought was sure delicious. » this is clearly a prompt

pokémon fans have zero imagination

i can’t believe there is not a single Professor Burnet / Fennel fanfiction

this is a question about professor juniper
