It’s A Donghua (动画) !! It’s From China!!

Some Pokémon characters that are my absolute favorite.

recently realised how utterly bonkers the adult protagonists of treasure island are.

you've got a doctor who's a former soldier who carries parmesan in his snuff box (???). his best friend is a mildly unhinged squire who has a personality adjacent to a reality TV star when he's upset/angry (which is fairly often but thankfully not for long) and yet is an incredible marksman for someone who seems like he'd go limp-wristed at the sight of a gun. and then there's your captain who of all things goes Ah I Know What I Should Bring To This Island of Horrors! A British Flag! and then he proceeds to fit that - and more! - under his coat.

what's going on with these three. they could have an adventure-comedy show all to themselves.

One of my favorite things Pokemon did with it's characters is with Hops battle animations. Like most special characters, he has his own battle animations separately distinct from the other characters. Except for when his is in battling in a stadium. In a stadium, all of his animations mimic Leon's animations. Leon, his big brother. The one he aspires to be. The one whose never lost a battle. All animations are mimicked, besides one. Hops losing animation in his gym uniform is entirely different from Leon's. Hop has watched all of Leon's matches, and Leon has never lost. Hop has never seen Leon lose, so in the stadium battle with him, Hop truly shows himself when he loses. He has no-one else to mimic. All other battles outside of Wyndon stadium are completely different animations to. I find it really nice.

I LOVE THEMM

Congrats to Klapollo for making it into the top 100 ships of the year despite not appearing in a game together in over a decade

I watched Markiplier's gameplay and the way he reacted to the Nuke Ending was just so damn funny and relatable

I remember getting like, REALLY into the story of Captain Nemo when I was maybe 18, and honestly he’s a very interesting character… for one thing, he straight up HATES imperialism/fascism in all forms, to the point that he has no loyalty to any place or government, but IS extremely compassionate toward any people who are oppressed in any way/shape/form. He basically just wants to live underwater and go on fin sea adventures because he is just so DONE with people, but he’ll also maybe overthrow a dictator and redistribute the wealth. Y’know, if he feels like it, and isn’t too depressed. As much as he, let’s say “extremely dislikes”, other people, he’ll be distraught if any of his crew dies… and even grieves enemies who die. Oh, and his ship, the submarine Nautilus? It was built secretly, but putting together different parts all over the world, and finally assembling it. The other really cool thing that I don’t most people are aware of, his name? Nemo is a variation of a word that can mean “nobody” or “no one”. There was another famous mythical sailor that once introduced himself as “nobody”, Ulysses/Odysseus (when speaking to the Cyclopes). Because stories with him are fictional, somebody might try to argue that we don’t “know” where he was from… but to be real, he was from India. His real name was Prince Dakkar. He’s a genius, a scientist, speaks multiple languages, and just pretty dang awesome in general. Despite him LITERALLY being Indian, so many TV/film adaptations make him European and white-wash him. There is a small handful that didn’t; in the 1916 silent film he was Indian, Omar Shariff played him in the mini-series The Mysterious Island (1973), in a 3-part TV film called Captain Nemo he was depicted as Indian but played by actor Vladislav Dvorzhetsky. Ironically, I don’t care much for the movie itself… but the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (2003) had perhaps my favorite Captain Nemo, played by Naseeruddin Shah, and he just looked COOL-

Anyway, I wish we’d gotten half a dozen ACCURATELY AWESOME movies about Captain Nemo (like, I would trade all the Pirates of the Caribbean films for ones about Captain Nemo)
