This isn't goodbye or anything and I'm not gonna just leave you guys in the dark like last time.

I'll leave my DMs open if you want to share awesome fanart/customs or exciting news about media. 🧵(2/2)

Heyo, guys.

I'm probably gonna take a week or two break from social media i.e. Bluesky, Discord. It's clear that I haven't fully gotten over the negativity from this week, and I think touching grass would help clear my head. 🧵(1/2)

Because Blueksy's character limit is 300, I'm sharing it via a screenshot from my new Letterboxd account, WildcattReviews.

Before I take my break, I just want to get this out there. This honestly applies to any controversial piece of media these days, and I feel like it needs to be said.

I couldn't stop thinking about Iono and Canari beefing online, I had to draw it ⚡️⚡️✨

I’m so tired. 😫

If you love the game, that is valid.
If you don’t, that is also valid.

But between bad actors that haven’t even played the game to people spoiling it for everybody else it’s been fucking tiring being a Pokémon fan this week. 😑

I’m just staying in my corner enjoying myself now. 😅

Today marks 26 years since I began the site that became Serebii!

Every passing year I get more flabbergasted by the site's continual support and growth. There are times when I thought its peak was behind us but this year continues to break records.

Who knew inflation has made people turn into contending dicks over a gaming company?

Look, Nintendo’s not above criticism and they deserved to be called out every once in a while, but let people have their fun. Gaming is supposed serve as our escape from real life tomfoolery

The grenade has been cooking since Pokemon Sword and Shield alongside the National Dex controversy.

This game is where it all blows up.

It's times like this that make me feel ashamed to a fan 😔

Be honest with me, am I a stupid "sheep" for buying and enjoying Pokemon Legends Z-A? I am part of the problem Pokemon in the current state it's in?

I can honestly relate to Ragatha about putting too much pressure on myself and not wanting people to hate me. 🥺

Say you haven't watched the show, without TELLING people you haven't watched it.

Does this show have it’s issues? Yes. But I wouldn’t rank it a 0/10.

But to me Planet Sheen is easily the worst Nickelodeon show. I mean Sheen is annoying and doesn’t even miss his family and friends.

people sending voice actors/actors death threats for playing a character who’s a bad person genuinely needs to go touch grass

When you guys get the chance, please go give these three videos by ‪Enchanted a watch. They're very well made, and I feel they're relevant in today's society.

Their criticism of Z-A is around a black character in the game of all things.
MY criticism of it is Nintendo locking crucial game aspects (two evolutions and Mega Stones for the Starters) behind paywalls.
We are NOT one and the same.

The state of YouTube ads:
- rewind a few seconds so you can look at something more closely
- ad plays
- skip the ad
- video plays again for like a second
- ANOTHER AD

i don't care how bad the bluesky discover tab is i am not moving back to twitter

Please keep going, bro. Take breaks if you need them. Take care of yourself. Shut things down for a bit. Surround yourself with your favourite things. Just keep going. I get it's easier said than done. I've been through this. It's crushing sometimes. Please don't give up. Don't let anyone else win.

Hmm, that's funny. Last time I checked, MLP: FiM didn't teach people to groom minors or incorporate their fetishes into their content!

Mega Emboar singlehandedly made me a fan of the Tepig line. ##pokemonlegendsza

The general tone of the discussion around Legends ZA, on YouTube in particular, has been so vile and toxic that it's honestly really hard to read even their numerous VALID complaints about the game in good faith... it feels like lots of people are getting joy from festering in their own bile atp

This meme can apply to gaming in general tbh

I have never been so disappointed in the Pokémon fandom until today.

If this is the direction where future Pokémon discussions are going to be, then I don’t wanna be a part of this community anymore.

I hate how gaming discussions have devolved into this “Us vs. Them” moral crusade where even saying something is fun or poking fun at a flaw could be seen as a controversial statement. Feels like it’s become a flaw to just turn off your brain and have fun

Just wanna have fun playing Pokemon here

If you say anything positive about Nintendo, you’re a shill.

If you say anything negative about Nintendo, you’re a grifter.

You can’t win.

Nobody can win.

Everyone is a loser!

I swear that Sword & Shield was Pokémon's The Last Jedi with how much it broke fans' brains and made it so none of them are ever able to be normal about the IP again.

My Totodile came a long way

First started out small, then became a Croconaw, and now it became a Feraligatr
