it's chaotic here

The most interesting question you can ask about any character is not what do they want. it's what do they believe they deserve. because those two things are almost never the same and the gap between them is where your entire story lives. a person can want love completely and believe they don't deserve it and that belief will destroy every good thing that comes toward them in ways they won't even notice they're doing. write the gap. the gap is the character.

I try not to judge too harshly, but reacting to a baby crying with "that's why I don't want kids" is, to use the tiktok vocabulary, such a huge ick.

ORAS haters are weak and will not survive the winter. How many other video game remakes have had the confidence, the guts, to ask challenging, pertinent philosophical questions like "if a giant doomsday asteroid is hurtling towards our planet in the remake-verse, then is it ethical to send it to a parallel dimension where it will destroy the world of those original games from 2002 instead," and even "hey what if actually ☝️ we just blow it up with a dragon 🐉"

being a kid and hearing adults say stuff like "woah 2011 was 4 years ago haha" didn't really convey the fucking horror of a youtube video crossing my recommended labelled "9 years ago" and it's from 2017. that's not true. 9 years ago is 2010 or something. don't lie.
