Harp the Wigglytuff @wigglytuffitout@computerfairi.es

jk rowling: doesn't even read the wikipedia entry about american history before writing canon

me: carefully looking through the streets of Mannevillette, France so i can make sure my half-sentence about the architecture of the town is accurate for a fanfic

I'M JUST SAYING

WE KNOW WHO'S THE BETTER WRITER Y'ALL

me: oh i wonder why the #ffxiv tag is aflame with fury on birdsite

me, 15 minutes later, now knowing more about korean history than i did before, and feeling a melodramatic moment that might result in a soliloquy about man's inhumanity to man that my white ass does not deserve: i'm... going to... close.... that tab for a bit....

(for reference: https://twitter.com/cheche_dotharl/status/1128279381900779520 is a very important read that i commend to all of you)

my catgirl is now.... A CARGIRL #ffxiv

now uhhhhhhhhh does anyone have a phonebook she can sit on or something

apparently people are listening to music and there was a harpist at some point but let me tell you, as somebody who goes by 'harp' online, i was confused for a hot minute there,

@brainblasted y'know, i'm just a layperson, but there's some rich irony in purism/libre one billing themselves as a totally new ethical company - and still saying that they will bow to every law of every country a user is in, even when it is unjust censorship.

for one thing, ain't that displaying a willingness to rat out users that means the data purism says it won't touch is absolutely fair game if a government asks them nicely...?

me: jeez i wonder why i'm feeling awkwardly anxious and jittery today in a way that's unlike me

me: man this is a puzzle

my shoulder: has gotten an injection of steroids into it yesterday, which are likely sinking in properly today

me: boy........

me: it's just a mystery that will never be solved i guess

carbinks are very cute and make adorable noises. we should appreciate them more as pokemon, sez i

@monorail

1. lapras

2. alolan form ninetails

3. alolan form sandslash

4. sneazel which is the one that fucks everyone up when they least expect it and flummoxes nuzlocke runs

5. carbink that is wearing a glaceon hat. the player character objects to this and gets told "no no it's totally a glaceon, that's an ice type right there, not a rock/fairy type. anyway I'M the gym leader not YOU so"

6. glaceon OF COURSE, but a horribly OP one that is ready to steamroll teams left and right

@monorail i accept your hard mode challenge instead of my original joke of "glaceon, glaceon 2 electric boogaloo, return of the glaceon" etc

you would be an ice type gym leader, and give a glaceon badge (bc this is like. eevee region or something where badges are themed around eeveelutions and those are the different gyms to beat). and you would have, on a seperate post bc i'm runnin out of characters....

i would post that same meme but we know the answer already and it's

1. wigglytuff
2. wigglytuff
3. wigglytuff
4. wigglytuff
5. wigglytuff
6. wigglytuff

or alternatively, one wigglytuff and just as many eeveelutions as you can cram in there. my destiny in pokemon world would be to become a crazy eevee lady. no regrets.

i'm both interested in seeing what janelle monae does with it, and perplexed that disney feels the need to include it in a modern remake

yeah it gets stuck in your head easily but it's not like the siamese cat song is a groundbreaking work of art that must be preserved

...i mean that's aside from my (admittedly white) confusion that they're combatting racism against asians by sending in a black artist. like... was nobody from asia available at all, disney? no? ok then

i still have no idea why disney is sitting on live action treasure planet and instead doign like... live action alladin. live action lady and the tramp. live action lion king.

the only redeeming factor in all of those for me is that apparently they hired janelle monae to do the lady and the tramp soundtrack re-do, but even then it's like... why isn't disney cleaning its own shit instead of just going "uhhhh the black lady is woke and can scrub clean the racist mess that is the siamese cat song"
