Oh my god I just got reminded of that thing I really friggin hate

you know those curly spiral telephone cords?

or you know, similar springy cables that usually are in landline wired phones (I mean if anybody still has those) or occasionally connecting handscanners to self checkout or main bank tills at supermarkets??

those.

i fucking hate those

I hate how they invariably get all tangled and twisted and knotted and reverse or some shit and I can't untangle them aaaaarrgh

@Fennel@snouts.online also maybe put down some cool fresh water for them, cryptiding is thirsty work

@Fennel@snouts.online if you're hot, they're hot. bring them into the shade

@pupy@chitter.xyz @monorail @lugh which tbqh is a bit MORE of a stretch to say they're "pikachu-clones". I mean I can sorta see Plusle and Minun, and Dedenne, but Emolga's a flying squirrel c'mon just cause it's got the same eyes and wide smile as Pikachu and i guess the cheek pouches thing... huh...

@pupy@chitter.xyz @monorail @lugh There's actually a non-official term of "Pikachu Family Pokemon" in that the members of it that people class as such all have similar defining traits:

Must be electric type in main capacity
Must be rodent of some kind
Must have cheekpouches or other similarities to pikachu.

That's basically it. Predictably the entire pikachu evo chain is there, of course, as is Alolan Raichu, and Plusle and Minun, and Dedenne, but weirdly they ALSO put pachirisu, emolga and Togedemaru in

@pupy@chitter.xyz @monorail @lugh Oh yeah Dedenne is the other chubby smol raichu-esque pokemon! I had no idea of the name of that one but yes Dedenne is <3 <3 <3

@V "Eccleston outta Tennant?... I ... huh. I don't quite-wait. wait wait..." *googles* "...ohfucksake."

@pupy@chitter.xyz @monorail @lugh I eman they are very pikachuish. Both electric mice types. They're p. much like... I dunno, an offshoot species I guess?? def related one way or another I'm sure, like the other electric mouse they made that's like... pikachu. but raichu colooured... and smol/round. also spikier.

me reading the *ation saga: megatron is a total despot, how could he so willingly ruin cybertron like this?
me reading Megatron Origins: *holding back tears* DESTROY THEM ALL MEGSIE MAKE THEM PAY

Megatron: *accidentally knocks over a cup of coffee* AAAH, FATE CONSPIRES TO MOLEST ME AGAIN! SOUNDWAVE, BEGIN OPERATION "DESTROY THIS ENTIRE HOUSE"

@lugh when I played Pokemon Rangers I was like "huh I'm not sure i like the idea of having to cart around one of these two bootleg pikachu's like why can't i have a cool pokemon like vulpix or something" and then I really, really got into it and now minun and plusle are valid and wonderful and good and cute and i love them

@Siphonay@octodon.social my brain: haha that's pretty funny
