Pokemon is the only community where the competitive crowd is funnier than the casual one

I would argue that the quest cape is the closest we have to a "story end" for Runescape, the show didn't say anything about side content, but if we are talking side content. I want to see the Syntax try to teach the adventurer the "Perfect Theatre" CA, or hunt multiple 3rd age pieces. Could be a fun setting for a almost 'timeloop' scenario.

someone made a website where you can declare your favorite pokemon & why. let's all see if every pokemon is someone's favorite... Together

I agree with this post but also I have just been hit with the startling realisation that Chilchuck is who the dwarves thought they were hiring when they went to pick up Bilbo and now I desperately want to read *that* version of The Hobbit

being raised as a straight guy and then transitioning to a lesbian woman has given me a morbid fascination with certain flavors of romance media that are mainly targeted to straight women both because this type of content is something I never engaged with until very recently and because the genre expectations feel patently insane from the outside looking in. a lot of the male main characters in m/f romance, specifically romance novels, Wattpad fic, and Webtoons, are just straight up abusers. they're controlling, manipulative, violent, and sexually assault the female lead in many cases. "Dark Romance" is a massive trend on TikTok and the whole conceit of that genre is women falling in love with stalkers, bullies, serial killers, and on at least one occasion their own family members. If you already engage with this type of media none of this is surprising to you but for me it was genuinely crazymaking. people talk so much about the accessibility of internet porn damaging young men but the average dude's porn tastes consist of mostly straightforward sucking and fucking with perhaps a little choking here and there. meanwhile the booktok girlies are reading shit that makes the average Brazzers scene look like a convent. I grew up being told that Twilight is a negative influence on young girls because Edward Cullen stalks Bella in the first book. Edward Cullen is TAME by the standards of m/f romance. Edward Cullen is the blunt end of a stick that the average romance reader will beg and plead for the sharp end of. learning about trends in m/f romance makes me feel like I'm hearing my coworker complain about her lazy good-for-nothing husband who won't change a diaper or cook dinner and when I suggest she divorce him she acts like I'M the crazy one in this situation. Like I'm into BDSM so psychologically I can understand the appeal of this stuff but even WITH that knowledge it's shocking like what are we doing to our beautiful queens????

It kind of feels unfair that the Legend of Zelda franchise exists because it takes so many fun hypotheticals off the table. "Which video game series would be the worst if you had to invent a timeline where all games occur in chronological release order" no bet, it's Zelda. It's always fucking Zelda.

This might be the funniest reply I’ve ever seen in my life
