I’ve never liked this meme. You train your cute little Machop to grow stronger, to take care of itself and to take care of you. You cuddle it at night because, no matter what else it is, it’s your pet, and you love it. But it trains so well it freakin’ evolves, and its reward is supposed to be… checks notes withdrawing your affection and closeness? Nah, fuck that with a rusty spatula.

Seriously though, Howl is a very dateable crowI’m surprised in the year of our Lord, 2025, we’ve still only had a couple of serious interspecies relationship pieces in popular media. You would think with the tech we have no there would be so many science fiction stories and romantic comedies about people and odd sapient creatures or monsters in wacky romances.
And I mean fucking daring stuff. Even Shape of Water was almost tame, dude just looked like a jacked fishy man. But going in the right direction.
I genuinely think it would be good for society to mentally play with the far edges of our social constructs.
We need to save the whales!
One sexy husk at a time.
I often think about the humble cashier who said to me in early 2020: “I don’t know about this whole Corvid 14 thing”.
I believe he spoke for us all
Rick and Morty did it already.
