I feel like everybody who's freaking out over the Typhlosion folklore story from the Teraleaks needs to be introduced to this video

HAD TO DO A DEEPDIVE INTO FINDING IT BECAUSE I DID NOT BELIEVE IT. IT'S REAL.

I need someone to informedly comment on the typographical choices being made there.

To my lay-person eyeballs it seems like either a not fully developed brand identity or just. The didn’t see the need to define the entire ad with the brand identity. Or they had a specific idea and it’s just different from later aesthetic choices.

Specifically someone comment on the script/calligraphy starting letters. That’s so interesting to me. Was it a design trend at the time??

Like I’ve definitely seen text where the first letter of a word is differentiated from the rest of the letters but. Usually it seems less stark to me

Fancy hates Dried Pickle Man a lot so I don't even know why she came to lie beside him in the first place.

iD: two cats lie on a bed side by side, a one-eyed longhair colorpoint male, Dried Pickle Man, and a slightly smaller medium-hair gray female, Fancy. Fancy is getting scritched and petted on her little bastard head.

Human: No screamin'?

There is a short pause. The little cat turns and slaps the bigger cat in the face and emits a satisfyingly weird-sounding scream.

The larger cat is totally unbothered and merely turns to sniff at her as though to make sure she's okay. Neither get up.

It doesn't even sound like a fucking cat noise. It's a 16-bit video game noise. It's a modem. It's a ray gun sound effect. It's not a cat.

It’s a Pokémon cry

(Armadillidae sp. Rubber Ducky)

I’ve been giving these the same care as I give P. scaber and all the rest, and they’ve bred fairly well so far with just a handful of age-related deaths. anyone who says they need special care either is lying to keep the price unreasonably high (got these for a good deal) or really needs to take better care of their common isopods. expensive setup for fancy Asian species is a scam, they eat trash and live in dirt just like the guys outside

This creature reminds me of a Pokémon. Idk if any in particular but.

I like it.
