i didnt realize it was the 20th anniversary of ppg when drawing this but heres some sugar, spice, n everything nice!!!
People keep saying that Detective Pikachu is going to have the obligatory almost-swear-but-cut-away-last-second joke, and it almost certainly is going to do that
But I can’t stop thinking about the fact that the movie IS PG-13
Meaning they can get away with saying fuck once and keep it PG-13
Reverse cut-a-way.
Detective Pikachu is in a room with normal humans who can’t understand him. He stubs his toe really hard.
We get like 30 seconds of very loud angry “Pi pika pika pipipika kakapika pipi-” then the main character walks in and we just hear the deep detective pikachu voice go “-FUCK!”
wait it’s PG-13?
random thing but i realized it might be helpful for some people so uh. theres this thingy where you can upload an image and it gives you a color palette based on it !
heres an example
and it also gives you the hex code values for them too its p neat !
pikachu being a cop means he’s not allowed at pride
Pikachu is a private investigator not a cop and thus allowed at pride and also was there when Marsha P Johnson threw the first brick at Stonewall so don’t you ever disrespect him for a Tumblr post again
at first i was like “why did they make those things in his head weird growths and not hair??” but then i looked it up on the Pokemon Wiki and
It was never hair and Mr. Mime has always been terrifying
That’s the only part of that entry you found terrifying?
HUH????
I love it when people try to claim representation in fiction is being taken “too far” to the point where it’s no believable. They’re like:
“What’s next, a mixed-race immigrant on the autism spectrum?” Hi, my name is Rachel, also known as Rachna, and I’m a mixed-race immigrant on the autism spectrum.
“What’s next, a transgender Latino man with chronic pain?” What, you mean my former colleague, Marco?
“What’s next, a Black Jewish lesbian?” Bitch, I know I three Black Jewish lesbians, WHAT’S YOUR FUCKING POINT?
im so tired of the argument being “what’s next? a feasible combination of human conditions other than straight white cis able-bodied dude? that can’t possibly happen!”
these same people ABSOLUTELY try to use their insular bigoted perspective to shut down voices of real people in the real world, too, so these attitudes carry over.
i frequently have been in conversations with people – both online and in person – where something comes up that is perhaps relevant to some facet of who i am, and i will mention it.
“– my experience as a trans person–”, “– growing up in a black household–” “–trying to get accommodation at my synagogue–” “–when native people speak about our experiences–” etc
and it’s truly wild how regular an occurrence it is for some person to pop up, like, GOTCHA, LIAR, just now you said you are [deaf/trans/black/bi/asian/autistic] BUT PREVIOUSLY YOU HAVE SAID YOU ARE [jewish/native/chronically ill/ace/mentally ill/nonbinary] so WHAT IS THE TRUTH,
like they have caught me in some clear and unambiguous fiction that they then try to use to invalidate my perspective, as if any or all of these identities are mutually exclusive. as if i’m somehow cheating by being too many things. and then there’s an interrogation, wherein because i transgressed the bounds of Normal People Identities, before i can continue having discussions and opinions, i have to be subjected to grilling about who i am until i have proved to their satisfaction that i do indeed exist.
it puts real actual people in a situation of frequently having to defend and justify our very existence, simply because we don’t fit into someone’s extremely narrow worldview of Acceptable Human. and that grinds you down, over time. it’s exhausting. it’s infuriating. it needs to stop.
