Another round of potions on me

AKA the weapons carried by so. many. of my childhood Barbies.
I keep a box full of them. You never know when little plastic swords may come in handy.

I was not allowed to have them because they were for cocktails and both my sets of grandparents were teetotallers and would have fainted dead away from their baby girl having something that was subtly for alcohol. So instead my brother and I had a letter opener that looked like a cutlass and we fought over the REAL STEEL SWORD TINY SWORD. Because that was a great idea!

A new Poketoon dropped and it's EVERYTHING I have ever wanted out of the anime. It's a story of a girl daughter of two once active Pokemon trainers going out finding a pokefriend and getting to go be a Pokemon trainer. It's got ton of small moments that make the Pokemon world feel more real. Like the Pokemart

Like the absolute energy this imbues into how buying a fuck load of potions and balls would look. But that's nothing compared to what happens when she gets chased into town by the anger parents of her Nidoran friend.

Alarms go out in the town and everyone with strong Pokemon come running. It's just a small detail and an excuse to have her go get Charizard but it's the closest we have gotten to the question of "What happens if an angery Dragonite just fucking marches into Saffron city"

AND THEN THEY END IT BY DOING THE THING

Caught in a rather good romance
It sounds like I’m playing a video game and someone is trying to sell me potions. :D
…that is exactly what it sounds like
lush employee: hello, how can I–
me: hello, potion seller. I am going into battle and I need your strongest potions.
my mom is 61 and her bf is a huge nerd and he’s teaching her to play magic the gathering and he had her watch avatar the last airbender with him and his ringtone is terra’s theme from final fantasy 6 and he paints pictures of sephiroth. my mom’s bf is nerdier than i’ll ever be.
and she does all these pinterest crafts and now she makes little bejeweled vials of healing potions for him and his buddies. my little geek heart can’t handle all this.
edit: just picture a 60-something woman with a VERY thick minnesotan accent saying “mike is having me watch the naruto”
just fyi my mom is now 62 and they finished watching “the naruto”
if i had told my 13-year-old self that this is what my mom’s hallway would look like when i was 30 i wouldn’t have believed me
