Pokemon - Imperfection

Perfection isn’t real. Perfection isn’t human. And Carlos is not perfect, no. Even better: he is imperfect.

Everything about him, and us, and all of this, is…it’s imperfect! And those imperfections in our reality are the seams and the cracks into which our out-sized love can seep and pool. And sometimes we are annoyed, and disappointed, and that too is a part of how love works. It is not a perfect system, but…

Oh, well.

-Welcome to Night Vale: “Condos”

Drew some more Sycamore, this time colored to test out arting in FireAlpaca. Not my best work, but then again I’m pretty rusty. This picture is based on a submission I made to imaginesycamore (that hasn’t been posted yet) with a random headcanon I had about Professor Sycamore discovering Welcome to Night Vale and falling in love with Cecil’s voice and identifying with Carlos. So he recommends it to Lysandre, who hates it because it’s so weird and bizarre and “ugly.” After Lysandre’s disappearance, Sycamore consoles himself with Night Vale’s weirdly comforting message that the world isn’t perfect, and that’s okay.

(this can be taken as perfectworldshipping or friendship, whichever way you interpret it)
