    Pokémon Broken Things

    what's up youtube this arc is named "dark" and that's a sign of only good things, I'm sure (for chapters 5.1-5.10) I admit I’m always curious when there’s a big change in format to fics–here’s an arc with half the chapters that are roughly twice the length, what happened to bring that about...

    Pokémon Broken Things

    This arc starts with such a good header quote. Most of them are really good but this one feels deeply, uncomfortably on point. Mostly because I find it incredibly wrong, and yet also incredibly right. Because, goodness, does family not work out for a lot of people here. Perhaps it’s because I...

    Pokémon Broken Things

    It would appear that this fic has roughly doubled in length since I last said anything that wasn’t a shitpost; I’m sorry lol. It’s been a good read! Bear in mind this review is in this weird schrodinger’s state of trying to pretend not to know some of the lategame stuff, and also knowing what...

    Pokémon Broken Things

    3.7 It's been 3000 years so I can't pin down the exact differences, but I think this version works a lot better. Lyra seems a lot less prickly/antagonistic in this version, and we're able to see what makes her tick + how her fear of psychic manipulation basically permeates through her entire...

    Pokémon Broken Things

    It's been 3000 years and apparently I haven't actually reviewed in literally forever. Which was also big brain since I predicted the rewrites, incredible. Smaller chunks since I know if I try to review too much at once the anxiety of trying to make a perfect review will mean I won't see you for...

    I FOR ONE AM GREATLY EXCITED THAT YOU HAVE CUT OUT THOSE BORING EXTRA CHARACTERS WHO ARE ABLE TO DO THINGS LIKE INTERACT WITH NON-POKEMON NARRATORS AND IN GENERAL HAVE ABOUT 5% MORE AGENCY IN THE WORLD. THEY ARE UGLY AND BORING. DEEPLY LOOKING FORWARD TO THE THIRD BOOK (WHICH WILL OFC BE SPLIT...

    Pokémon Broken Things

    is catch-up week, and by that I mean we delve into silly chapters where it's revealed that Cuicatl's worst nightmares involve Pix and a room full of ketchup. haha just kidding This chapter has a really good through-line of apathy, the cost of caring about others, the tiny sacrifices we make at...

    "welcomes her back with unconditional love" mmmm yes nothing to see here Young Genesis and chronology fuckery! Fun fun. Arc 3's narrators have been interesting to me in the sense that they don't really delve in any of the directions I thought we were going to go in--Selene's a fresh pair of...

    Pokémon Broken Things

    anyway, cool, I can finally stop my very bad masquerade that I haven't been intently studying this fic and the rest of your body of work for like two months to imitate and steal your prose quirks I guess At some point I sort of gave up on line reactions and ended up just pulling bigger picture...
