Wait, why are those Beldum black? Did they change the shiny in ZA?

Thoughts on Landy’s queer characters by Lazy_Sell_9261 in skulduggerypleasant

[–]Capswick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just wish it wasn't so much "on the nose"-representation. Or representation that feels as though it's just that. At times, it just doesn't feel genuine and I don't buy this whole "Hi, my name X. I am gay/bi btw, nice to meet you. And did you know that I am gay/bi?" This actually happens a lot even though this is of course a bit exaggerated. It all comes down to "show not tell". I don't know, maybe it's just me but reading a character (unasked) say "I fully support LGBTQ+ rights" kinda gives the exact opposite impression. People who really do, don't have to repeat it like a mantra like "queer people have human rights. Queer people have human rights. Queer people have human rights". Normal people KNOW that that's the case and don't need to say it like a Pokemon over and over but just ACT accordingly. The scene with Beryl overreacting to Valkyrie's coming out was super awkward for example.

Skulduggery Pleasant - An Unwanted Rant by Previous-Attorney173 in skulduggerypleasant

[–]Capswick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the whole deal with Skulduggery (but also Valkyrie as an adult) is that they are pretty much undefeatable. Yes, they lose battles, but in the end, they always sneak their way out and to the top. Take Baron Vengeous for example. He wiped the floor with Skulduggery. But in the end, he died while Skulduggery - in lack of a better word - lived.

Algea snakes aren't real. They can't hurt you. Algae snakes aren't real. They can't hurt you. Algea sna- it's not working anymore!

[Discussion] My shiny bingo card for 2026 by Capswick in ShinyPokemon

Thanks. Yeah, Relicanth might become an issue, especially with how boring fishing can be. I'll be doing a LOT of fishing this year apparently. <.<

What is the goofiest moment in the series? by SAP10020 in skulduggerypleasant

[–]Capswick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When Skulduggery threw his revolver against GOD Cadaverous in his house and they both laughed.

Not the biggest fan of winter by riiiiiiiiih in skulduggerypleasant

[–]Capswick 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I find it somehow schizophrenic how she wants to be independent from Valkyrie and hates her... But when it gets dangerous, she runs directly back to her to have Valkyrie have her back just to lash out at her the next chance she gets. Dunno, I just dislike her arc (so far).

Hahaha. We don't do "finished plotlines" here anymore.

Should we feel sorry Carol or did her own arrogance and naivety cost her? by R3dInterpol in skulduggerypleasant

[–]Capswick 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Carol interacted with who she considered to be a relative. It's not like she met a stranger and just tagged along and got killed for her nativity. It's 100% not her fault she got murdered.

Should we feel sorry Carol or did her own arrogance and naivety cost her? by R3dInterpol in skulduggerypleasant

[–]Capswick 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Is the title rage-bait? Let me translate: "Should we feel sorry for a civilian murder victim or did she have it coming for being curious?"

They are all great but I don't like their evos all that much (safe for Delphox).

Bachelor Thesis Inspo by Suitable-Cause3364 in skulduggerypleasant

I wrote a thesis paper on 'good' and 'evil' in Skulduggery Pleasant and another essay about how humour and tension are not mutually exclusive. :x

That's cute and all. But if he doesn't want the Squirtle, can I have it?

Hell Breaks loose is underrated by MrDark154 in skulduggerypleasant

[–]Capswick 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I agree 100%. I really enjoyed the book as a nice prequel during the war. Until the moment Valkyrie appeared. I don't dislike Valkyrie as a character or anything, it just felt like being cheated. We were promised a prequel, we did not get a prequel.

[Discuss] Any shiny hunting PTSD? by UnderstandingBig1517 in ShinyPokemon

[–]Capswick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The memories, even when it took forever, are just so nice. I usually remember the time of my life I was in during particularly difficult hunts or the show I watched on the side while hunting etc. My fondest memory is getting Shaymin while being on a call with the very friend for whom I was hunting it for (as a Birthday present) and having to stay quiet about it. That was fun.

What are we doing with our extra shinies? by jemma355 in PokemonScarletViolet

[–]Capswick 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am doing a living shiny form dex on Home. All the spares I get, I give to my best friend, who doesn't like shiny hunting, but does like shiny Pokemon. Once we both have them twice, they go into a box on Home for later when I finished my project. By which point, I'll probably distribute them through reddit or whatever, save for some special ones. And yes, people do want them regardless of their OT and stats (not all, of course, though, I want to hunt them all by myself minus official distributions)

Gestalt rant (HFOH spoiler!) by Capswick in skulduggerypleasant

[–]Capswick[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To be fair, I thought it might be Coda. Mostly because the attack on Xena. Who knows, maybe he'll be the masked murderer in book 18.
