goombuds are like the waluigi of goomba subspecies if you think about it

a graph showing goomba subspecies.

on the top left is the regular goomba an arrow beside it points right to the goombrat, and another one below it points down to the galoomba. another right arrow coming from the galoomba and another down arrow coming from the goombrat both point to goombud

a similar graph to the previous image, except it's now for the 4 main "plumbers" of the mario series (goomba->mario, goombrat->luigi, galoomba->wario, and goombud->waluigi)

This implies that the people of Karut are too smart to find themselves getting stranded on PNF-404

So, when it comes to Scooby-Doo ships (that don’t involve the fucking dog) we all gotta agree that Shaggy x Daphne is the weirdest one right?

Every other pairing has a solid niche, even Shag x Fred (for the gays), but why would you pair Shaggy and Daphne specifically?

what the fuck do you MEAN you can evolve eevee into jolteon in gen 1 by getting into a trainer battle, levelling eevee up, switching to growlithe, and finishing the battle with growlithe, because growlithe's pokemon index is the same as thunder stone's item index. WHAT. WHATTT

Related to a post I saw today but IMO I hate this rug pull approach to informing people about certain issues.

Even if you’re in the right, it’s just a sudden, obnoxious way to try to pull people onto your side by suddenly saying this thing they like is problematic

There’s better ways to do this.

Something about the creation or reception of Super Mario Bros 2: The Lost Levels must have made something in Miyamoto snapped, because Nintendo would NEVER AGAIN make a purely difficult Mario game EVER.

Artwork for the Japanese version of Super Mario Bros 2, or the Lost Levels

To prevent further misunderstandings...

I'm saying: Use alt text when you can, don't bully or ostracize those who can't, and pressure coorperations and websites to look into better ways to make providing alt text more accessible for everyone.

What I'm NOT saying: alt text bad dont use poopy tool

𝓢𝓮𝓷𝓪 𝓗𝔂𝓮𝓵𝓮𝓽𝓱🌙🌿| Vgen @hyeleth.bsky.social · 1d

It's important to continue talking about this because there are many people on Bsky, who will refuse to engage with art that has no ALT text.
Meaning disabled artists who, for one reason or another, couldn't include it will get less chances to make money to afford a meal. Does this sound accessible?

*sighs*
Got blocked cause I tried to educate someone about the ableist nature of their POV, cause I thought they cared about disabled people. My bad, I guess.

Friendly reminder that there are other disabilities and villainizing people for not using ALT text isn't going to help anyone.

it's not FOR us

edited comic panel. Batman is breaking a lump-with-handle cow tool over his knee and saying "this is the tool of the cow. we do not understand it. we will not use it."

fiction is a safe space to think of unsafe things

if you feel it's messing you up, step away. don't assume it's messing everyone up and you need to eradicate it because you caught a case of the feel-bads from something. go sit with that and think about why instead of pissing in everyone else's cheerios.

We’re just 6 days away from Pokémon Legends Z-A. Been a long journey from its uncommonly early reveal, but we’re closing in now!

That day threw such a curveball at us. No one was ready for the reveal that Legends "Pokémon Z" was next. I was honestly ecstatic to be so surprised.

People who criticize transgender people say there are only two genders.

For that one drawing of Erö cutting her hair, does that actually happen at any point in your story, and if so, what was her reasoning for doing so?

I will gladly draw all of the frogs as a symbol for the movement, explicitly to take them back from the fuckers who co opted Pepe for their nazi shit.
