"But see, she HAS to because poor Team Rocket are staaaaarving!! We have to make absolutely sure they eat and get the bestest foods ever!" :P Of course. They totally value nice food over NON-PERISHABLE FOOD THAT THEY CAN ACTUALLY TAKE WITH THEM SO THEY WON'T STARVE!
(Sorry. Pet peeve in Corific.)
"OH FOR FUCK'S SAKE." XD You're not used to it yet?
"Cori's TR is doing the equivalent of peeing their name in the snow then acting like they created a work of art!" We have MERCIFULLY not hit any such point. But it gets awfully close after Break from Canon, doesn't it? With them gloating over teaching a BABY Articuno to swear like a sailor...
"...oh, yeah, this is also the one where Misty breaks off her "secret friendship" with TR because she doesn't publicly kiss their boots. D: "Friends never criticize friends" is a stupid "rule" anyway. I mean, okay, no one LIKES to be criticized but not all criticism is meant to be mean. It's a word that SOUNDS harsh, and some people would rather call it guidance, but I feel like true friends will just plain be HONEST with you. If they honestly have no issues or things they feel they need to poke you about, that's fine. If they feel the need to remind you to kick certain bad habits or cultivate better ones, that's fine too." *NOD NOD NOD* Exactly my point!
"STOP CURSING TEAM ROCKET YOU'RE MAKING ANDREW DICE CLAY LOOK LIKE A PRUDE." I got very tempted to link the Tourette's Shitcock Syndrome page at one point. D|
"Aaand Ash's Pokemon side against him, as if Cori really needed to drive the point home that Everybody Hates Ash and Team Rocket Is Pure And Right. Great." -_- Subtlety is verboten in Coriland.
"Yay, Callout Culture! Never used when it's actually necessary (Jessie, James and Meowth ROBBING PEOPLE) and always used when it's not (Ash not trusting the people who TRY TO ROB HIM ON A DAILY BASIS)." :\ You just summed up all Corinteractions with Ash in a nutshell. Here, have a nut. *proffers Cori!Meowth*
"Really? REALLY?! God, did Cori get things thrown at her a lot when she was a kid? Cause she always makes it sound like a fucking trauma. "Wah! Those kids almost hit me with a rock!" "Eep! A little plastic cheeseburger whizzed by my ear!" *shakes head*" Perhaps they threw suggestions for new haircuts at her. :P
"That's a good name for it. And I hate it, too, so fucking much. "Whaddaya MEAN you don't think my babies are precious lambs of Jesus?! YOU MUST BE A MONSTER WITH NO HEART OR SOUL!!". Fandom in general often does this, too, when they put in examples for The Woobie or Tear Jerker on TVTropes they'll say "if you didn't sob helplessly when X thing happened, you have no soul" or "if you don't want to give Y character a big hug, WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?!"" In all fairness, I tend to read the ~no soul~ stuff as hyperbole. ...Unfortunately, I admit that I might give people too much credit. D:
"If he could, he would be in therapy forever for constant guilt complexes and self-loathing for shit he never did wrong." *winces* Yes. Precisely.
"God, if I didn't wanna read your sporking comments I'd just skip through the whole part." ...Sorry? :D;; "We get it, Cori, Ash is an unrepentant shitweasel of a turd-shit-fucker-fucktard-bitchcake-cowfucker-asshole-bastard-shit-heel-dickfart with no soul because he has the fucking cheek to distrust the people who rob him on a daily basis and deserves to be put in his place by your Author Avatar who is good and right and loves Team Rocket for who they are Inside." ...Basically. D8
"Suddenly I'm glad I made Essie so unrepentantly unsympathetic. Because otherwise her behavior would trigger genuine rage from the people behind the socks instead of hilarity when she got what was coming to her." It helps that Essie is OBVIOUSLY a histrionic, short-sighted brat. The holier-than-thou, from-my-point-of-view-I-AM-St.-Woobie-the-Perfect behavior is what sets off my genuine rage here. D: D:< D8<
"...really? Because last time I checked Cori thought comic relief teasing was Very Mean and felt the need to use her fics to make it into a big deal so they could have sobby apology sessions." *nodnod* Yep. Pointed that out back in Thorns, I think.
"Aaand of course the Secret Friendship is ~over~ and it's so sad and dramatic and I actually feel sorry for Misty. She's the one who tried to be the bigger person by giving KNOWN CRIMINALS a chance, and when she didn't kiss their asses all the time they gave her a lecture." *sigh* Yes. Sums up Corific, as I keep sayin'...
"And there's still more left, isn't there. D:" I think it's either 1/2 or 2/3rds over by this post. @_@ MEANING THERE'S STILL OVER 1/3RD LEFT
