if you often like or reblog my posts i 100% remember your username and mentally go “oh yes friend” every single time i see you in my notes or on my dash 

The process of making these is:

Collect comics and beer labels, put the beer label on a piece of paper. (Peel it off while can is full)

Find comics and beer labels with similar themes or colors. This takes a while and involves comic book shopping.

Cut out comics into fun shapes.

To put it together I drink a ton of beer with my wife and sister listen to classic rock and do blow. It makes it a fun process and seems to dial in the art itself. Outlaw country!!!

Crazy good

 It was not at all by chance that Christianity, which grew out of Mediterranean culture, had adopted as its own alimentary symbols bread,  wine, and oil, of the Greco-Roman tradition. (The first two became Eucharistic symbols and the third an instrument of sacramental anointing.) - Albert Sonenfeld

For some reason, my ADHD brain decided to hyperfixate on Gorochu recently, and what a missed opportunity it was. Since Pichu basically robbed it of its potential place in Pikachu's evolutionary line, there's no realistic way for Gorochu to be reintroduced into the franchise without coming up with some brand new unnecessary game mechanic or something.

But then I started thinking "What if Gorochu was a brand new Pokémon altogether?" And I don't mean like another Pikaclone. This is Gorochu we're talking about, it deserves something better. I'm thinking a Mythical/Legendary Pokémon with a clear connection to Pikachu akin to Diancie and Carbink.

The lore would go something like this:

"Gorochu, the Thunder Mouse Pokémon. Legend has it Gorochu was once an ordinary Pikachu that was transformed after being struck by lightning from Arceus. Everywhere Gorochu goes, terrible thunderstorms follow as it drums its tail against the ground to psych itself up for battle. As the most powerful Electric-Type in the world, not even Thundurus, Zapdos, or Zekrom can stand up to its might."

I think it's a pretty cool concept even if it probably will never come to pass. At the very least I'd settle for a Convergent Pokémon. (Sigh) But a man can dream.
