This is not for you.

i know in my heart of hearts that within the pokémon universe it’s all the really cute popular marketable pokémon that have the most irresponsible trainers. small dog syndrome ramped up to a whole new level. that is not a toy that is a lifelong commitment. ma’am please keep your untrained sylveon in its pokéball inside the store. no that is not a service pokémon it wouldn’t be using moonblast on everything if it was

sir! sir!!! your pikachu is decimating the ducklett population at the pond and you aren’t even looking! you are NOT ash ketchum you are NOT gonna catch ‘em all because that involves trade evolutions and you have NO friends!!!

if one more middle aged mom tells me that i should’ve kept my raichu a pikachu because ‘she’s much cuter that way’ i’m sending out my full team and throwing hands right there in the starbucks

a fun wrinkle in moira quirk's performance of the locked tomb audiobooks is that she is a comedian and very good at delivering jokes ("you are now up to the standard of a bad cavalier, one who's terrible" "oof, ouch, my bones" "you've got the face of a rat. and the body of a dead person.") but also by her own admission she is completely unfamiliar with internet memes and just delivers them all as regular lines. it's a beautiful auditory experience. this blog remains and will always be a "none houses with left grief" fan page.

psychic beam blast. none of you understand the late victorian eugenics/determinism/orientalism/scientific history/racial-sexual-class great chain of being unity of affect enough to be talking about what dracula does and does not represent

dracula serving as a synecdoche for european aristocracy is in no way at odds with his widely recognized status as a gross antisemitic stereotype, because in the late victorian (especially english) literary mind medieval aristocracy = regressive = disabled/malformed = irrational = feminine = catholic = eastern = jewish = romani = queer = underevolved, which in turn smacks of irishness and spirituality. these are all linked together—explicitly in the scientific and literary worlds of the 1890s and more covertly today—in a web of emotional associations that smooth over all contradictions, and all adds up to: we have moved into the rational, masculine, blue-eyed light called modernity, but something is clinging to our ankles and wants to drag us back into the dark. are you one of the things on my ankle? prove to me that you are not. step into the light and assume your proper place under me, or i will defend myself by slicing you away
