I'M CAPTAIN KIRK

kitty, from Black, never has a fit of teenager so much as she goes 'actually i'm sick of all this and I want to become my own person and also kick N in the nuts, and also maybe kiss him on the mouth'

 

Pomona is already going on forty-five and is too dignified for teenage rebellion
Carlos is due a breakdown circa about twenty-seven when he suddenly starts feeling like his youth is escaping him
Bunny just becomes twenty times more pouty and uses thirty times more eyeliner

 

By the time Jin gets around to teenage rebellion, he's already pretty much just living in pokemon village and avoiding as many humans as he can

 

Ngl Bunny is a mood. I also fix any fleeting trace of rebellion by wearing double the amount of eyeliner any sane person deems necessary.

 

I mean Bunny is all of fifteen/sixteen when the game starts (one of the ones i most def am playing as older) and has already begun to weaponise her looks, sexuality and the fact that she can be sweet as sugar when she wants to
she's not malicious with it or anything, she's just 90% more calculating than most of the people she runs into think she is.

 

i hate... rotomdex... i hate... rotomdex... i hate... rotomdex... so much

 

the single best thing to come out of sunmoon thus far is that cones of shame are known as heliolisk collars in the pokemon world because they look like a heliolisk's frill

...which is not to say it's bad, it's perfectly good really, even if rotomdex deserves to be thrown into the fires of mount doom. sophocles still irks me, ash still looks Not Like Himself, but lana is my small perfect round child and lillie is much less annoying than she is at the beginning of the games at least, she manages to have some backbone already. mr. grouchy the fire-type trainer whose name i forget is also awarded the Seal of Approval.
mallow... exists. she reminds me a bit of shauna in XY. mostly there to be peppy.
it's easier to watch when i'm using it as background noise and not per se actually looking at it, because the change in art style still bugs me. though jessie suits it. james not so much, but jessie yes.

rotomdex joins kevin the carrot from the aldi xmas ads as Inexplicably Alive Inanimate Objects That I Would Like To Campaign Against The Existence Of, even though i guess rotomdex is technically totally explicable, i just hate it.

 

i hated it in the games as well but at least there it doesn't have a voice, and doesn't interrupt people to insist on giving information that turns out to be stupid and/or incorrect.
fuck off rotomdex

 

this week has turned into Mirrors Spends All The Money, Eats All The Things and Gives None Of The Fucks week

 

slight side-eye at anyone who claims to be a book lover and then says 'i've finished my last book and need recs'
where's your enormous pile of Books To Get Round To, huh?

 

i'd play in the 'give me a word and i'll post a snippet of wip it appears in' sandbox but i don't have the brain to reciprocate asking other people for words so it feels unfair.
my wips are all on one big google doc anyway which many people have already read, so i wouldn't hardly be posting anything new.

 

does anyone mind if i do the WIP meme without reciprocating words?

 

do it!!!!

 

i mean i'm pretty sure you've read my entire wip document loq lmao but yeah okay hang on

 

"hand"
alternately, "star"

 

"fire"!

 

song!

 

39 results. Some of those were words like 'handle' and 'handsome', but not as many as i'd like lmao
Here's one from some origfic.

Apparently only in the plural, but close enough.

 

"hair" ?
