shit that actually happens in pokemon:
a giant castle rises from the ground around the main government building. this is basically peta’s fault.
you ride a dragon-god into space to fight a meteor alien. this is plan b. plan a was to send the meteor alien to another dimension.
one guy tries to get rid of the oceans. one tries to get rid of dry land. What Happens Next Will Shock You.
a dude jumps straight out of the water onto an evil pirate ship, lowers the gangplank, then swims off to let a teenager deal with it.
there is a 1/3 chance that a runaway 11-year-old yakuza/mafia prince broke into a laboratory to steal an adorable plant creature.
you can buy a useless fish for several thousand yen from a shady salesman. this is actually a very good investment.
the devil, the god of death and the bringer of eternal nightmares all really really really like cake.
the space cultists would have won if dragon lucifer hadn’t showed up.
god is a goat, and if you take it to the right place, it will make you a baby god.
the most powerful trainer in the world (a 14-year-old with a pet rat) went up a frozen mountain for no apparent reason. he only comes down after you beat up his rat. this is absurdly difficult.
the effective ruler of the unova region is a magical catgirl space princess with a bunch of pet dragons.
there’s a nine foot tall guy wandering around. his height is the least interesting thing about him. and his best friend is a flower fairy.
The idea of being a villain in Pokémon is SO FUNNY like youre in this word where you have little creatures that are powered by good vibes and friendship and you can bond with them and play with them and stuff and you’re like no I think we need to establish an organized crime ring or blow up the planet or both

This is the best thing I’ve seen in ages. Trust me, just watch it.

Things that Dazai is Officially Not Allowed to Do at Meetings, a By No Means Comprehensive List Assembled Over the Course of Several Months - by Kunikida
1. Refer to the collective members of the Armed Detective Agency as “Fukuzawa and the Fukuzawettes”.
2. Attempt to chime in to discussions by quoting the battle speech from Braveheart.
3. …Or any other, completely unrelated scenes from Braveheart.
4. Underscore anyone’s speeches by shouting “Amen!”, “Can I get a witness?”, or “Cowabunga!”
5. Underscore anyone’s speeches by waving one of those giant foam fingers from sporting events.
6. Underscore anyone’s speeches by playing dramatic music in the background.
7. Okay, who the hell gave Dazai a kazoo?
8. Giggle every time someone uses the word “duty.” Seriously, are you five?
9. Make a series of straight-faced, somber-sounding comments designed to include the word “duty” as many times as possible.
9a. [Amended, after the giggling proves contagious.] Okay, now nobody is allowed to say “duty”, are you happy?
9b. I wasn’t laughing, I was coughing, and anyway, that’s not- look, can we move on?
10. Anything involving sock puppets, for any reason.
11. For the purposes of 10, “sock puppets” also includes puppets not made of socks.
12. Okay, who the hell gave Dazai his kazoo back?
