shit that actually happens in pokemon:

  • a giant castle rises from the ground around the main government building. this is basically peta’s fault.
  • you ride a dragon-god into space to fight a meteor alien. this is plan b. plan a was to send the meteor alien to another dimension.
  • one guy tries to get rid of the oceans. one tries to get rid of dry land. What Happens Next Will Shock You.
  • a dude jumps straight out of the water onto an evil pirate ship, lowers the gangplank, then swims off to let a teenager deal with it.
  • there is a 1/3 chance that a runaway 11-year-old yakuza/mafia prince broke into a laboratory to steal an adorable plant creature.
  • you can buy a useless fish for several thousand yen from a shady salesman. this is actually a very good investment.
  • the devil, the god of death and the bringer of eternal nightmares all really really really like cake.
  • the space cultists would have won if dragon lucifer hadn’t showed up.
  • god is a goat, and if you take it to the right place, it will make you a baby god.
  • the most powerful trainer in the world (a 14-year-old with a pet rat) went up a frozen mountain for no apparent reason. he only comes down after you beat up his rat. this is absurdly difficult.
  • the effective ruler of the unova region is a magical catgirl space princess with a bunch of pet dragons. 
  • there’s a nine foot tall guy wandering around. his height is the least interesting thing about him. and his best friend is a flower fairy.

•Guy refuses to put on a shirt even atop a freezing mountain because he thinks it’ll make him less cool looking

•The actual child of the stars is a little shit

•Lady disowned her kids for a jellyfish

•The boss of the region’s local crime organization has a pet isopod

•Actuals aliens come to earth to protect it from other aliens

•Girl was raised to become the master of a dragon, dragon chooses random 12 year old

•Super model tells a 14 year old girl’s dad to fuck off

•An entire underground system full of valuable fossils and gems is completely open to the public as long as they have basic digging tools

•An over powered bird showed it’s self after hundreds of years just to revive 3 dogs

tbh you’ll never be able to convince me that humans shouldn’t be spending an inordinate amount of time outside and in the wilderness. this is probably where I’ll find myself agreeing with primmies a lot but I’ve seen it in myself and others how something as simple as a camping trip can be emotionally and socially transformative in a way that you can’t get from Mass society. mass society is fundamentally incapable of filling this hole, this gap, in our needs and then we all wonder why we’re anxious and depressed and how there’s numerous studies showing even taking a 15 min walk in your neighborhood is effective at alleviating the effects of depression

When we feel a strong emotion, such as the urge to cry, it is translated as stress to the ‘autonomic nervous system.’

The stress triggers the autonomic nervous system which acts to increase the flow of oxygen and sugar to the muscles to give us the much needed boost in dire situations. Consequently, in order to get more oxygen to the body, one biological response is to expand the glottis in your throat.

I know our bodies are trying to help us when they do stuff like this, but I wish they would go about it differently.

People who ‘love nature’ but violently hate their native coyotes, spiders, snakes, and scavengers are fake.

Here’s the thing about the post. You don’t have to love or even like every animal. You can dislike things! Humane, intelligent pest control is fine and necessary.  This isn’t the issue and never has been.

It’s violent, blind hatred and hypocrisy that’s the problem. People who gush over foxes and owls and hawks but want coyotes and snakes dead in the next breath. People who will rescue prey from predators because predation is mean. People who find it appropriate to leave sadistic comments on pictures of spiders or snakes someone is appreciating or owns. People who insist on labeling species as ‘good’ or ‘evil’.  This is the sort of behavior that bothers me.

People who only appreciate nature when it’s aesthetically pleasing to them and want to destroy the parts they find ugly and unpleasant don’t truly understand or love it. They love an ideal that isn’t actually representative of reality.

You ever think about the fact that Josie and the Pussycats (2001, dir. Harry Elfont and Deborah Kaplan) was torn apart by critics calling it stupid and feeding into the girl group/boyband craze of the late 90s-early 2000s, when in all actuality, it was a satire of how the music industry uses impressionable artists to manipulate young people into becoming mindless consumers? And how it had an amazing soundtrack featuring the vocals of Kay Hanley (lead singer of Letters to Cleo, which you may recognize as the main band from 10 Things I Hate About You), and the soundtrack went gold and everything but you can’t even buy it digitally? And how the movie criticized the inherent racism found within the music industry? And one of the boyband songs is about anal? And it was marketed as a kids movie? I do. I think about that movie a lot.
