for clarity i am not doing this i just came across a fanfic which did this and i am like “ok”

[lists their canon ages]

🖼

the rotom phone is an iteration on the smartphones in alola which is an iteration on the Xtranceiver which is an iteration on the pokégear which is an iteration on the pokénav which was a GPS device which also just happened to have communication capabilities

telephones in the pokémon world are an extension of the LAN/WAN/Internet systems that they developed for pokémon transfers and PC access there was no predecessor system afaict

they just sent Mail by carrier pidgey

they never had widespread non-internet-based telephony

and there is SO MUCH fanfiction potential in like every episode

i think it takes them a season to really work out the formula but master journeys and ultimate journeys especially are just consistently good

is the series which pivoted me from “why does anybody write pokémon anime fanfiction” to “why isn’t everybody writing pokémon anime fanfiction”

have i been active on it longer than any other social media? (i joined in november)

A) they act basically on instinct and lack the planning skills to think ahead and determine the flow of battle

B) they lack encyclopedic knowledge of the >1K pokémon species which exist in the world that trainers can provide

C) the free food and healthcare provided by trainers allows them to really focus and excel in training

D) lol, lmao, they're not even really trying

is it better to:

A) fuck pokémon that are within your egg group because they are broadly sexually compatible

B) fuck pokémon that are outside of your egg group because there’s no chance of producing an egg

« “We may be both girls, but have you forgotten that I… have only recently discovered I like girls, too? Or that we have been dating for several weeks now?” »

« Neither girl seemed to notice that the clouds above them were beginning to grow in size and darken significantly … Before she could inquire further though, she felt something hit her head. Then another thing, then another. Tiny little plinks. The girl looked up, finally noticing the dark clouds as more water began to drip out of the sky. »

« Practitioners and proponents of OER can be viewed as paralleling the captive maternal dynamic in that they are trying to stabilize an educational system that has been systematically hollowed out through neoliberal practices. In their efforts to care for students, OER practitioners are creating mechanisms that enable the neoliberal state to continue implementing austerity measures. The labor of creating and deploying OER is, per James, labor that is being expropriated by the state. »

article is kind of loudly and inelegantly stating the obvious but this was a good paragraph

i have the skillset to create “just run this on localhost and do your work there” kinds of workflows but instead i do everything in raw plaintext in a simple text editor and maybe run GNU Make at the end

unsure whether i have an actual stance against “rich” editing experiences or just can’t be bothered to create them
