acolyte spoilers under the cut
I just wanna talk about that whole plaguis thing again.
Now, what I HAVE seen some people discuss is that the mystery planet where Qimir lives is actually the same unknown planet where Luke buggers off to in ep 8 to die in exile. The origin for all the jedi, etc.
What I HAVEN'T seen discussion about is how the shot with Plagueis looks a LOT like the sequence from ep. 8 with Luke telling Rey that the jedi need to end.
First, you have the inside shot from the crevice. inside, looking out. the shapes of the rocks seem pretty similar to me anyway. plagueis's claw-hands come creeping out.
then, you've got the outside looking in shot, where we see Plagueis's face. looking out at the one thing (Osha) that not only spells his eternal future, but also the end of jedi (since a. Osha directly turns against the jedi and b. the whole vergance thing would allow him to rise to power in opposition to the jedi eternally). The quest for that power would almost destroy the jedi through palpatine and vader, you know?
idk. something about the fall of the jedi beginning in that shot with Plagueis's first glimpse at hope for immortality and the end of the Jedi juxtaposed with Luke eventually ending up framed in almost the same way, wishing the jedi would just end. . . it seems intentional to me.
maybe it's just random brain sauce, but I think there could be something significant there. I don't think i'm capable of fluent literary analysis though so I probably didn't explain it well.
tbf he's gonna need it
I finished Legends Arceus recently but I have not finished sketching stupid things
(Yes I managed to misspell a five-letter word. I would love to use “english is not my first language” excuse but sometimes I make even more stupid mistakes when I write in my native language. So I think I’m just not that good at using human languages in general)
Playing Legends for the first time years after it was released I of course knew about Volo and his cute little mischiefs. I still ended up in this situation due to my brilliant idea of creating a perfectly round team and a bunch of other bad decisions. Believe me or not this didn’t end well.
While I was prepared for Volo I certainly was not prepared for Kamado and his unique ways of making decisions and solving problems. I was not prepared for the whole exile situation or the last cutscene where this amazing man just gracefully plopped all his responsibilities on Cyllene’s shoulders. The woman is two piplup tall and probably one mishap away from murdering someone, give her a break.
I’m a little sad now because it’s time to say goodbye to my morning routine of sketching whatever questionable ideas visited my head while playing.
But if you woke up today thinking “wish there was a children’s book illustrator somewhere on the other end of the world with half an hour to spare so I can ask them to sketch my favorite PLA character or pokemon” then hi hello i’m here welcome to my ask box. Apart from PLA i still have some residual knowledge of gen 2, 4, 6 and 8 (I’m also allergic to odd numbers apparently)
figuring out how to get rid of screen addiction is like trying to figure out how to stop a nicotine addiction while also having a job centered around smoking cigarettes and having half your social life be in smoke breaks
Fucked up that you have to go to work during the winter. Should be curled up in a little nest with several months' supply of food stocked up right now.

torbin from the acolyte looks like linguini from ratatouille. no, i will not elaborate, nor will I take criticism.
'People are panicking about AI tools the same way they did when the calculator was invented, stop worrying' cannot stress enough the calculator did not forcibly pervade every aspect of our lives, has such a low error rate it's a statistical anomaly when it does happen, isn't built on mass plagiarism, and does not obliterate the fucking environment when you use it. Be so fucking serious right now
Before there was Moo Deng, there was William.
This little blue hippopotamus, known affectionately as William, has been a fan favorite at The Metropolitan Museum of Art for over a century. Dating back to Egypt’s Middle Kingdom (c. 1961–1878 BCE), William was likely placed in tombs to offer protection in the afterlife.
His bright faience glaze and lotus decorations connect him to the Nile’s waters—but don’t let his charm fool you! Ancient Egyptians knew that hippos were both revered and feared, making William a powerful symbol. He epitomizes the Egyptian craftsmanship of the era.
Take a closer look at William on JSTOR.
