this is the pokémon game that fans all claim has the best story

Show thread

remember when pokémon decided to make a region based in america and its backstory was a civil war between truth (white) and ideals (black)

american patriotism is
- abhorrent
- still better than the other american religion

i like the newest pokémon tcg expansion

so thankful to live in a time in which the Wikipedia page for Bird contains the phrase « Birds are feathered theropod dinosaurs »

you do not need to justify the existence of link it’s not your job

« Link was always a supporting character in Zelda's story. Now the story doesn't need him, » why are you writing him then

here in the states the verb would be “shot”

it's interesting reading canadian news because they're not afraid to say “yeah the U.S. police killed him”

@aescling is this like minecraft villager speech noises

@alyssa @aescling usually instead what (bad) authors do is try to break up the scene with sincerity, like characters looking each other deeply in the eyes and saying how beautiful they are or how much they love each other, and i think this is almost always a terrible choice imo, it’s just alternating between one kind of intensity and another

@alyssa @aescling maybe a bit of both? i think with writing it would be less person-oriented and more just like “hey. this is a fun scene, it’s supposed to be fun, i’m having fun with it.”

and not to say writers don’t have fun with their sexy scenes, but i never see it used specifically as a pacing device to break up the intensity, and that kind of pacing is something i do think is important in written smut

@aescling this is something i recently had to research because at work we have this same problem
