This is adorable, I had no idea

one of the best things about Pokemon cards is that some of the illustrators have been at it so long that you can actively see their art improve and progress over time

for example, all of these cards were illustrated by Mitsuhiro Arita, just years apart (1999, 2005, 2017, and 2022, respectively)

I'll always maintain that this is the best duel in the series (manga or anime). Why? TLDR: narrative/trope subversion (and he is a MASSIVE bitch)

In a format where conclusions tend to be forgone it managed actual suspense. Practically no one, in-universe or out, expected Joey/Jou to win. Sure, his True Friends TM are rooting for him, but this is clearly a mismatch. Marik(extra spicy edition) is at this point undefeated and Joey won his last two tournament duels on technicalities, punching above his weight class via sheer grit.

As the audience, we KNOW he can't win. Joey is the Lancer; narratively it would make no sense for him to beat what is clearly a final arc boss. The Lancer is here to put up enough of a fight to make the Hero, Yugi, look extra cool when he beats Marik later.

We all know it's just supposed to be Joey putting up a good fight, but damn, what a fight! Stakes much more visceral than usual, turnabout after turnabout as the tides shift and we wonder if this is the one that ends the duel. All the while we get to see the snark on full and glorious display against an opponent outraged to even have to dirty his hands against someone other than the protagonist.

The big, properly climactic finishing shot…and then the reveal that Joey’s still standing. He’s won. Against all odds, and with strategy instead of luck. Everyone can see it. Even the thus-far unflappable Marik is reeling, because that was not supposed to happen. This narratively-doomed punching bag that spent the whole duel irreverently heckling was not supposed to be able to back it up.

And THEN Joey falls. He gets to have his victory and fill his role in the plot, all without undermining Marik’s threat. If anything, it makes the Bad Guy even more despicable and intimidating, since he’s clearly willing to cheat with magic murder powers if the cards don’t fall his way. Joey has all the best personal motivation, and free rein to be much more of a bitch than either protagonist (stoic and sweetheart as they are). We want him to win, we know that’s not what’s best for the story, and we get to have our cake and eat it too. With a LARGE side of ham

big fan of how much of a bitch he is

Well that part just makes sense. Easy come, easy go, right? XD

There are two kinds of people when they get superpowers... Amazing Spiderman 28

Some crossovers make you think 'huh, I guess that could work.' Then some deliver a beautiful glimpse into a world that never was.

It's probably been done before, but the urge to crossover my two favorite 60s shows won today

Illya's a bit grumpy rn, but no worries he'll come around once he learns the future is a communist utopia <3

Yapping vvv

Anyway, what *is* up with 60s us shows and having two male leads, one slutty bisexual american, the other a highly competent foreigner and repressed homosexual who doesn't show much emotions, having a string of romances with a different woman every episode that was intended to show how the slutty one was a womanizer and the epitome of heterosexuality, but ended up highlighting how the only deep and meaningful relationship in his life is his *friendship* to the second male lead ? Wild

Anyway you're a gay one mister Solo, dig it in there mister Spock, there is something about 60s implied queerness that compels me so much <3

Also we *kinda* got this crossover already with uncle's S1E9 and the first Nimoy and Shatner on screen appearance- too bad that was long before star trek

PS : this is barely disguised the man from UNCLE propaganda gkkfkf

I really do love the idea that Peter Parker's and Spider-Man's reputations are mirror images. The public thinks Spider-Man is a dangerous menace, and Peter Parker is a reliable nerd / source of photos. The hero community thinks Spider-Man is a stand-up guy and Peter Parker is a catty paparazzi. All anyone can agree on is that both are simultaneously the biggest dumbass to ever haunt New York

Harry: And why shouldn’t I blame Spiderman for your injuries?? He calls himself a hero, protecting civilians like you should be his priority! Give me one good reason why I shouldn’t kick his ass for letting you get hurt!!

Peter: Because-

Newscaster on the tv next to Harry: In this footage you can see Peter Parker, known freelance photographer for the Daily Bugle, actually shove Dr. Doom out of his way while yelling “move it or lose it,” as he runs with his camera, presumably to capture more pictures of the vigilante known as “Spiderman”

Harry:

Peter: -I’m a dumbass.

I always figured her mark was a metaphor for bringing out the beauty in the world.

She finds the diamonds in the rough.

rarity is the pony i most often think of when i think about a cutie mark's tie to a special talent. her cutie mark was gained through finding gemstones and her special talent that sets her apart is finding gemstones. even her cutie mark is diamonds

but she isn't known for that. she isn't a miner or geologist, she uses her gems to propel a passion she already had: fashion. it didn't change who she was or what she loved, but she used her talent to elevate what she already loved. it didn't matter that she didn't have a cutie mark's of thread or needles or a sewing machine. she had her special talent and used it for her art, and that's what she is known for. her art isn't her talent, it's a learned skill. she chooses her art as her destiny.

i love her. it's so neat to me

All of the Prehistoric Pride guys in one collective post to celebrate pride month. Choose your fighter and have an awesome time :D

More suggestions are always welcome, I sadly was not able to cover everyone, but I will do more of these in the future!

I am going to add more and more to the collection as I get them done :D

If you would like to support my silly little dinosaur art, then you can buy any of these Prideaurs as stickers from my Etsy shop, which I just set up recently. I am pretty new to this entire business side of art things, but I am trying my best :D so a like or a reblog would go a long way. Thank you guys so much for all your kind words and support!

When I was just a small girl this really solidified for me what real, healthy love should be. I idolized Holmes and reading that story absolutely drove home to me the difference between love and obsession. Amazing story, notable for the most bad*ss exchange in the series "You're too late, she is my wife!" "No, sir, she is your widow" *pulls gun*

How have I never heard this!? Amazing song, spectacular animation, and whatever the heck sort of tonal dissonance you get singing a song about avoiding supernatural threats while blithely picking a fight with nature and all its dangers.

Love this song so much, best in the whole franchise
