And in fact one of the most important panels regarding Dick period.

It looks mundane. It’s not common to see in the wild at all. Barely circulated. So: Why is it important, you ask?

Well, there’s this classic conception of Dick during New Teen Titans as, well, an asshole. And he was. Point to how he handled the marriage in Tamaran, or other relationship conflicts. Point to the decrease in his quippy humor and personability, in NTT and in other books. Point to his uncharacteristic struggles to empathize.

All of these things were out of character for the Dick Grayson that had been established nearly a half century prior, up to and including the early issues of NTT itself. But these changes are some of the most common examples used to paint Dick as a cold, sometimes mean, dickish (no pun intended) guy.

So, isn’t it very very funny that he was partially mind controlled this entire time, SINCE HE WAS CAPTURED BY BROTHER BLOOD LIKE 40+ ISSUES AGO, OR MULTIPLE YEARS WORTH OF COMICS IRL, with the DIRECT CONSEQUENCE OF MAKING HIM LASH OUT.

DO YOU UNDERSTAND???

DO YOU UNDERSTAND HOW IMPORTANT THIS IS? HOW MUCH THIS CHANGES THE CONTEXT OF EVERYTHING??? DO YOU????? I DON’T THINK YOU DO. THINK ABOUT IT AGAIN.

After battle Obi-Wan turns around, completely horrified because this newly promoted-non force sensitive-commander just JUMPED on General Grevious and came away unscathed.

Or forces Cody to go to the medic after kicking a droid-no Cody he doesn't care if you have weight enforced boots, it's still a safety concern.

The further into the war they get the more convinced Obi-Wan is that his partner has some kind of force-sensitivity because how do you survive this long doing all the stupid shit Cody has done without it. But after while Obi-Wan just finds it devastatingly attractive

I would like to propose: Cody likes to think he's the responsible one. He's the Marshall Commander of the 3rd Systems army! The Vod'alor! Ori'vod supreme!

You know who is feral? "My jetii's insane, vod'e. He keeps doing these rediculous plans!" As the rest of the CCs nod along at first, they have crazy jedi too, after all. But Fox is dead eyeing him.

"You sure Kenobis the crazy one, vod'ika?"

"We're the same age!"

The rest of the CCs think about it. And yeah, actually. Kote was the one to (insert crazy stories on Kamino).

In truth, he's just as feral as his jedi. He's in denial. If you ask Obiwan, he's also in denial. (Anakin's the crazy one, my dear.)

i went over and was about to put in “single” or “it’s complicated” and, well..

Would you please add the ability to marry the Cloistered Diatomist into Fallen London?

But Pokopia fully does not do that. The world is lonely without humans and lesser for humanity's absence. So much of the game is about how Pokemon miss humans and are struggling to make sense of a world without us, how the ecosystem is just as hurt by our absence as any other species, and how the things we left behind, even in ruins and burned shells, are often beautiful and strange and helpful to the Pokemon who find them.

Pokemon have always been this allegory for the natural world- back to the original idea of the games inspired by children who caught bugs and kept ant farms- and thus the relationship between Pokemon and humans becomes this allegory for the relationship between nature and humans. And Pokopia looks you dead in the eye and says "the world would be poorer without humans, and if we all vanished tomorrow the echoes of who we are and the things we did would still ring out for eons uncountable. We would be missed and mourned and searched for and the wound of our absence would be deeply felt on this earth for the rest of its turning. The actions of a few greedy short sighted humans will never change that."
