thebrokenarrowsi'm watching Kyurem and the Swords of Justice again. that's gotta be one of my favorite pokemon movies, right up there with the 5th movie with Latios and Latias. the latter is the first pokemon movie to actually make me cry since the first one. i never expected i'd be so touched by another one again!
this will probably be a shorter entry since my volunteer job took longer than expected, and i'm trying to watch this movie... yeah, bout that... today might be the last time i volunteer there for a while?? when i got there, this woman was nearby on the phone, and i thought at first she was looking to adopt a cat, but it turned out she was with the rescue that owns the cats. she told me she was here to get them all out of here by tonight, apparently the boards under the floor of the cats' cubicles were damp and there was a roach problem, people had reported seeing the cats eating roaches or getting climbed on by them?? ugh. and i saw one young female have bloody diarrhea while the lady was there. not good.
she told me they were getting the cats out of there, and they might have to rip the whole cat area down and rebuild it which could take a month or more. so, idk if i will be back next week, or ever. poor kitties. :/ she's right though, many of them are quite unhappy there. i hope this will be for the better. i'll be ok with not volunteering anymore, i just couldn't quite find it in my heart to stop coming even though i know i have been there far longer than anyone expected me to. i also kinda hoped it would help me get a job at petsmart? maybe it will still, a lot of the staff knows me and likes me by now, after almost a year of coming in there twice a week.
so yeah, there's that... poor kitties. i think this will help them. i'd gladly foster one if i thought i could help, but that would involve quarantine and stuff that i don't think i can manage with my family being the way they are.
man, Keldeo gives me so much hope. the way he fights Kyurem even though it's totally hopeless, even when he knows he's going to lose, he never backs down. i've gotta be like that at work. "i'm not through!!"
as for headspace, Hiccup has continued to be closer than usual. it's always nice to have him close by <3 he's such a good friend to me, has been since he tumbled headfirst into this world, starry-eyed, confused and full of purpose. Forbidden Friendship came on when he was already close to the front, and - I felt it like a gentle wave washing over the body - he found himself in the front without even meaning to. he fronts so effortlessly sometimes, stronger than almost anyone else. i think he's just got an incredibly strong spirit and force of will. [insert joke about stubborn Vikings here.]
it's just really nice having him around. it's interesting, how strongly the soundtrack for his own source material seems to affect him. i haven't had an outspacer [i like that term far better than fictive, thank you Lightrayes] who's come from a movie before, maybe this is typical? i have no clue.
tentative list of outspacers that i either suspect or know are somewhere within the bounds of the System or its associated worlds:
- Hiccup [HTTYD]
- Raditz? [DBZ]
- Richeson Francis Chamblee [Ghost Soldier]
yeah, i think Rich is still around!!? i read Ghost Soldier as a little kid, and then in march of 2010 or 11, i read it again and had an obsessive spell about ghosts and the american civil war because of it. he 'ghosted' around outside my head with me for quite a while [lol], but once that stopped and the spell passed, i figured he was gone. but maybe he isn't? every time i smell oranges out of nowhere, i feel a chill and i know he's somewhere near. even though it doesn't make a whole lot of sense for him to be there, i think he is.
back to pokemon... i really love the Swords of Justice. Terrakion seems like a great friend, Virizion seems like a wonderful patient teacher, and Cobalion is just a badass and worthy of respect for sure. i would love to meet them all.
oh, the end of the movie really touches me, when Keldeo unlocks his Secret Sword and his stronger Forme [i can't remember its name lmao]. [edit: Resolute Forme] when he leaps through the ice gate and says, "That's it... I've never, ever been alone... My friends have been with me the whole time!" and there's just shots of him playing with Terrakion, eating fruit with Virizion, running with Cobalion... and him standing at the edge of a cliff with the other three gathered around by his side... man, it reminds me of the System so much. i may be stuck up here in the front a lot of the time, and shut myself off easily when stressed out, but i'm never, ever alone. i have so many good friends, and they're beside me everywhere i go. <3 <3 i have to remember that when i'm stressed out at work or something, feeling like this is my whole life... it's so totally not. no matter what enemy i face, even if it seems helpless, even if there's Black Kyurem bearing down upon me... i'm never alone. <3
