Fandom Meme and NZ earthquake

[bay_alexison]

Fandom meme stolen from aztecravemonkey because like her, I have a lot of headcanon stuff going on in my mind.

Give me a topic, preferably a fannish topic that I would be likely to have something to say about, and I will attempt to write you a few paragraphs of meta on what I think about the subject.

In other news, there has been an earthquake at New Zealand recently. I have two friends there and am glad they're okay. I thought the earthquake is at their city, but it's at Christchurch. Still pretty tragic and woah to me. I do hope the people trapped in the buildings and rumble will be saved in time.

Where Red/Gary's Raticate went after you battle him just before Lavender Town.

OT - This looks fun! May I steal?

That earthquake is awful news - as though Australasia hasn't been hit enough this year :[

You know, that's one of the things I haven't thought about. I was banging my head over it while at work today, haha.

Pretty much I think Raticate died. XD I can't remember if I read it from a random website or there was a discussion in livejournal one time, but there was a mention of how Gary's Raticate didn't appear when you battle him before Lavender Town. I admit, I don't keep track which Pokemon are in Gary's team when playing Red (haven't played FR/LG yet sadly D: ), so what happened to Raticate didn't cross my mind until recently. The more I think about it, the more it makes sense Raticate died. How? Probably from sickness or a serious injury that even the medical staff at the Pokemon Center couldn't handle.

Yeah, still need to think through more of that Raticate. XD

As for the earthquake, indeed. Huh, I just checked my NZ friend's twitter, and the death toll dropped. O.o; But yeah, Australasia has ben through crazy stuff lately. D:

Am I allowed to link you to the part creepy, part sad picture story about it? That's probably where you got it from.

There's some creepypasta stuff out there. "The Legend of Pokemon Black" still creeps me out.

Haha, sure! You know, now you mentioned it, I think I saw a creepypasta picture story about Raticate. D:

Hotlinked because I don't wanna save this image on my comp. D: Lol.

Oh yeahhhhhhh. I remember reading that creepypasta long ago, haha. Indeed, quite sad. ;_; Makes me want to play my Red game again and see for sure he indeed didn't have his Raticate, haha.
