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've spread this earworm to my whole friendgroup XD

Text link if that doesn't work.
You can stream it on YouTube too. I'll update if Apple accidentally approve it.
Thankyou for all your messages, I'll get to them all eventually, promise!
It's BiteWing's superpower! She's just a regular dog, but she has the entire hero world backing her up XD
haley the dog getting passed around the superhero community whenever Nightwing is off on a long mission of off world or undercover. she is both beloved and a source of incredible anxiety for everyone because what if something happens to her Nightwing will kill us all and/or cry and those are both equally horrible outcomes
she was kidnapped Once and only once, some random goon ended up with the entirety of the Justice League, titains, outlaws, bats, and a good handful of villains storming his house. the riddler (said goons employer at the time) sent a written apology and fruit basket when he found out
Dick Grayson: so as you can see I definitely win the 'stupidest kidnapping' competition by virtue of having been abducted by a literal bird-brain :D
Other Batkids: HOW SMALL were you when you started crtimefighting?!?!
My favorite genre of image is plushies getting grabbed by hawks
A fantastic point! Never made the connection to the real world 'everyman' duelist, but it makes so much sense.
Although I did always think it was hilarious that in a universe where chance outcomes can be demonstrably affected by circumstances (morality, determination, rule of cool...), a guy with neither destiny nor money on his side pulled ahead of the competition by *building a deck around gambling.*
big fan of how much of a bitch he is
NGL, I would 100% wear a ladies version of this sadly I am too curvy for the original
Does anyone have a pattern for that cunty Spock outfit, you know the one, black velvet cape-shirt thing from the movie era.
This was a huge problem of mine when I started playing videogames XD
I could never be a protagonist because I'd just never move the plot along. "You have free reign of this castle, but don't go into this one area" Okie dokie. I mind my own business and hang out in the library. Queen of staying in my own lane. I'll never discover your magic curse.
Dangit I missed the window, gotta catch the next drop. (Never underestimate SH fans, they brought the guy back from the dead and haven't rested since)
WATSON'S SKETCHBOOK VOL 1 is available to purchase! 178 pages of black and white comics, illustrations, and occasional essays on Victorian queerness, covering the Watson's Sketchbook story from A STUDY IN SCARLET through SECOND INTERLUDE. Many of the comics have been updated and cleaned up from their online versions. Also they are signed and I drew a little guy inside!
Bonus points if the original wife was incidental enough (one line about a marriage added to a treaty, Airplane dropped the plot thread, etc.) that Bingge doesn't know this is OOC.
Just sitting there thinking 'my own kind shizun was here all along, languishing unappreciated because of my unceasing voracious ambition, what have I done?! I have to make this right!'
Meanwhile Shen Yaun was just chilling and helping out. Thinks it's neat to finally meet the protagonist but he'll probably forget wife #whatever immediately. 'Oh well back to my books...'
Bingge has been running himself ragged for MONTHS looking for HIS 'nice Shizun'.
What he doesn't know is that Shen Yuan transmigrated into wife #216 (the one from the sexy slime chapter...) the same night he came back and have been living his best life in the palace's library every day. He's been 'giving' his night with Bingge to the harem member who managed to sneak him in a 'Flower of Transing your Gender'.
It's kind of uncomfortable to wear a woman's clothes when he's just a totally normal straight guy, but he's FINE!! He's low enough on the totem pole that he is ignored for most of the harem drama and since he's a DUDE now he isn't pulled into any wife plots! Now he gets to study all the monsters he could ever want! Plus, just occasionally glimpsing the 'best wives' like Liu Mingyan, Sha Hauling, and Ningying is pretty cool, too!
Things are going GREAT until he passes by an upper courtyard one morning and finds a Beauty Devouring Harpy-Lizard has three wives cornered and is about to eat them! Oh no! Well, this is probably a wife plot, so Bingge will come any moment now to save them....
any moment now....
any moment....
...
WHERE is he???
Shen Yuan uses his new Beast Knowledge and his stolen body's mild cultivation to tame the lizard. Turns out it's just a juvenile and they can wean it off eating pretty women if they feed it enough regular meat! Now Shen Yuan has three women in his corner, too! They can help keep him off Bingge's radar while he stays in the palace!
Except... well... it keeps happening.
Beasts attack when Shen Yuan is nearby. Bingge doesn't show up. And then Shen Yuan has to deal with it! He's forming his own harem inside of the harem and he doesn't WANT that!!! Bingge will kill him!!!
It all comes to a head when one of the IMPORTANT wives, Ningying, is cornered by a Ravenous Rainbow Gem Tiger! Even using all of his cunning and smarts, Shen Yuan isn't sure he's going to make it! He manages to get Ningying out of there, but he's on the back ropes...
Then Bingge shows up just in time to save the day.
Oh and he looks BAD. Hair unkept, bags under his eyes, like he hadn't been eating; even with Airplane's shitty Cultivation rules the protagonist shouldn't look like this! Shen Yuan INSTANTLY starts fretting over him. Bingge doesn't seem that impressed, probably used to it by now and thinking that this is just gunna lead to The Usual Business. But he gets this little nagging feeling when Shen Yuan invites himself back to his chambers. Shen Yuan bullies him into bathing, brushes out his hair, makes him eat something, and gets him tucked all nicely into bed. And without a hint of papapa in sight!
In fact, Shen Yuan just... pats Bingge on the head and makes him promise he'll sleep and then leaves.
Bingge staring at the ceiling of his bed, taken care of, no sex expected... squints and has his 'wait a fucking minute' moment.
