i had a dream i went to nintendo and they revealed to me that all this time the real pokemon designer was this Russian guy named Vladimir Pokemondesigner and i asked him why he named jigglypuff that and he said “is puff. is jiggly. are you a jokester?” and crushed my head like an empty soda can

The person I reblogged this from is awesome as fuck.

I need to be on my meds if I ever want to explain this in detail but shoutout to Reverse 1999 for being the only media Ive ever seen where the “People with magical powers are an opressed group” trope is done right. The jist of it is that its not a case of “White pretty elves are put in identical conditions to what black people have experienced” or a “This group is clearly the superior race and they are only opressed because they are rightfully the rulers of the world.” That these plots fall into 99.9% of the time, but a story where a very ethnically and culturally diverse set of people are stigmatized in the way that the neurodiverget, certain cultural practices, and non abrahamic spirituality have been historically repressed and hurt all over the world. The repression of arcanists is not only a analogy to real world opression, but also a sincere depiction of it. For example Isolde is both a magic user that summons ghosts but also genuenly canonically mentally ill. There is racial mixing and diferent types of opression presented, from beurocratic to verbal abuse. There is aknowledgement of the complexities of gender. Its very good stuff. If you dont feel like playing the game I would go as far as to recomend watching the cutscenes on youtube.

I’d have to wait months or even years for another chance to reblog this, so why the fuck not?
