💜PLUM’S DIARY💫

It's not clear to me how often that ever actually happens holistically, but it's certainly a tool the series uses constructively.

What I mean by that is, it doesn't seem to me like characters are designed specifically in conjunction with a specific Pokémon, where the mon and character act as extensions of one another's character designs. Giovanni has his famous Persian (in the anime anyway), and that Pokémon suits him well, but Persian wasn't designed to complement Giovanni. Ghetsis has his Hydreigon that uses Frustration at max power, which certainly tells us something about what he's like as a character, but Hydreigon was not initially designed for Ghetsis.

And I'm sure someone who's more into the weeds of trivia than me would know if I'm wrong here, but to my knowledge, while there are plenty of human characters who are designed to reflect Pokémon, there are barely any Pokémon that were designed specifically to reflect a human character. The one example I can think of off the top of my head is Nihilego and Lusamine, where Nihilego's shape design matches Lusamine's, and they seem designed specifically to fit together.

Nihilego acts as both an isolating bubble, shutting Lusamine further away from reality and her children, as well as a "crown" or royal mantle, and acts as an extension of Lusamine's devouring mother archetype with the many staring eyes and enveloping tentacles. Surveillance and constriction.

And of course, Llilie's initial design at the start of the game has more than a passing resemblance to Nihilego's shape language, which again raises this idea of Lusamine trying to figuratively climb inside of her daughter, to make her child an extension of herself, which is familiar to certain kinds of narcissistic parental abuse narratives.

If you live in a household with restrictions on the WiFi that prevent you searching for the vpn, all it takes is one café, pub, library, or friend's house with free WiFi, and you'll pull it off. VPNs do not take that long to download.

I didn’t want to get arrested so I just never asked my mom for spaghettis after that. Lesson, learned. Don’t ask mom for spaghettis or she’ll call the damn police on you. 

So I have this memory in my head, and it goes unquestioned until I say it outload for the first time a few months back and as soon as I say the words “When I was six, my mom called the cops on me for asking for spaghettis” My adult logic slams into place and is like “Hang on. Your mother definatly did not call the police on a 6 year old for asking for spaghetti.” 

So obviously that’s not what really went down. I call up my mom to tell her how I remember it and on top of her figuring out why her kid has always been really cagey around spaghettis for the last 3 decades she tells me what really happened. 

So on that night, a man tried to break into our house through the front window. It was just my mom, and her kids so she did what she felt she had too and shot him in the head. He’d been wearing a helmet, which landed on the floor under the window.

Now I just want ya’ll to put yourselves in my moms shoes for a minute here. This woman has just taken a human life. The trauma of that- the instant agony, the panic, the guilt, the fear- all of it hitting her at once, her only solace the knowledge that her children are safe. She protected her daughters. No matter the cost to her soul- her children are safe.
