I dont really think they where meant to be villains, because when push comes to shove they really do the right thing. I remember that in a few movies they damn near killed them selves to help Ash, it even happens a few times in the series. This is why I will always love these two, because their not evil, just confused, its like their suffering from peer pressure or something to impress their boss. Sad choices.
I could write an essay on why Jessie, James and Meowth shouldn’t be considered the villains and why they’re perfect people and why they’re perfect for each other in the family sense, including Meowth. I mean sure in B/W they’re a lot more threatening, but the other like 14 years worth of the anime? No. They’re just… too soft. They both have extenuating circumstances when it comes to why they’re in Team Rocket. Neither of them joined purely because they were mean people and wanted to steal or hurt Pokemon. Jessie was an orphan and her mother was in Team Rocket. James ran away because his parents tried to force him into getting married to a girl he hated. Meowth was abandoned by the rest of the Meowth because he learned to talk. They all joined because it was really the only place they felt like they belonged.
And I could also go on and on and on about how they’re NOT failures. They fail at being bad. There are plenty of episodes where they show them all having special talents. Jessie is amazing at contests, James can do a ton of stuff they never show except in certain episodes (PokeRinger, Orienteering, poetry?, contests). Plus James is just a total sweetheart omg don’t even get me started on him alone okay. Neither of them are actually bad at Pokemon battles unless they’re up against Ash & Co. MEOWTH CAN TALK. WITHOUT TELEPATHY. If that doesn’t prove how freaking SMART he is then what does?
I JUST LOVE THEM OKAY.
look at the emotion on their faces i
That and they have such GREAT attachments to their pokemon, which often get emotional, like with James’ Cacnea, and Jessie’s Dustox (which watching them give them up made my cry a bit more that the oh-so-classic Bye Bye Butterfree)
We cannot ignore the episode where Jessie and James give up Arbok and Weezing.
A poacher…..keep this in mind that Team Rocket is an organization built around stealing pokemon and occasionally mutilating them (Slowpoke Tails) to use as soldiers and for profit….a POACHER is hunting down a herd of Ekans and Koffing. We will ignore how convenient that is….
This Poacher has a high level Fearow and a fucking TYRANTITAR that spams Hyper Beams. And what does Team Rocket do, despite Arbok, Weezing, and even WOBBUFFET getting torn apart by this guy?
To rescue the Ekans and Weezing trapped in these electrified cages, Meowth uses his claws to pick the lock, getting electrocuted CONSTANTLY in the process, stating that he can take it due to his constant encounters with Pikachu.
Then, realizing that there’s no way for Arbok and Weezing to win against this Tyrantitar, Jessie and James plead for them to lead their respective herds to safety. They have to beg, as well, as Arbok and Weezing have been with them since the beginning. With tears in their eyes, they flee, leading the others to safety.
The poacher orders the Tyranitar to Hyper Beam the herd, and MEOWTH leaps in the way, slashing it in the eyes, but takes a full on Hyper Beam regardless. Arbok and Weezing turn around, wanting to help, over and over. And Team Rocket, using only THEIR BARE HANDS, leap onto this Tyranitar, taking hyper beam after hyper beam to shield their pokemon, and in the end while they lose. Beaten, broken, they still muster the strength to hold on to the Poacher’s legs to keep him from walking.
These are the perfect characters. The most human of the entire cast in all of Pokemon. They starve with one another (sharing a single bean), they fight for one another, they always support one another. James even gave up his prized bottle cap collection to save Meowth’s life, hurling them to fake a Payday attack, a move Meowth unfortunately could never learn (making him useless in Giovanni’s eyes).
The best characters.
Shit, man…
Just a friendly reminder that they got a happy ending.
i have reblogged this 6 times now
Reblogging because that last part makes me so fucking happy.
So, pretty frequently writers screw up when they write about injuries. People are clonked over the head, pass out for hours, and wake up with just a headache… Eragon breaks his wrist and it’s just fine within days… Wounds heal with nary a scar, ever…
I’m aiming to fix that.
Here are over 100 links covering just about every facet of traumatic injuries (physical, psychological, long-term), focusing mainly on burns, concussions, fractures, and lacerations. Now you can beat up your characters properly!
Wound assessment: A huge amount of information, including what the color of the flesh indicates, different kinds of things that ooze from a wound, and so much more.
Location pain chart: Originally intended for tattoo pain, but pretty accurate for cuts
General note: Deeper=more serious. Elevate wounded limb so that gravity draws blood towards heart. Scalp wounds also bleed a lot but tend to be superficial. If it’s dirty, risk infection. If it hits the digestive system and you don’t die immediately, infection’ll probably kill you. Don’t forget the possibility of tetanus! If a wound is positioned such that movement would cause the wound to gape open (i.e. horizontally across the knee) it’s harder to keep it closed and may take longer for it to heal.
General notes: If it’s a compound fracture (bone poking through) good luck fixing it on your own. If the bone is in multiple pieces, surgery is necessary to fix it—probably can’t reduce (“set”) it from the outside. Older people heal more slowly. It’s possible for bones to “heal” crooked and cause long-term problems and joint pain. Consider damage to nearby nerves, muscle, and blood vessels.
General notes: If you pass out, even for a few seconds, it’s serious. If you have multiple concussions over a lifetime, they will be progressively more serious. Symptoms can linger for a long time.
Dislocations: Symptoms 1, 2; treatment. General notes: Repeated dislocations of same joint may lead to permanent tissue damage and may cause or be symptomatic of weakened ligaments. Docs recommend against trying to reduce (put back) dislocated joint on your own, though information about how to do it is easily found online.
some of these came out meh BUT YOU KNOW WHAT, I SPENT AN ENTIRE MONTH ON THIS, ENJOY (also panels w/o lyrics are supposed to go with the piano beat thing, youll know what i mean)
AAAAH THIS IS AMAZING YOUR WORK WAS WORTH IT AND YOU ARE A DEDICATED, BEAUTIFUL HUMAN BEING.

Dunno why I decided to do this, but I`ve noticed some helpful ways to tell if a YouTube channel is fake or not, so hopefully they`ll help other people… ¯_(ツ)_/¯, eh it might…anyways…
First up is the Verification tick/check.
Ok so this is literally the BIGGEST give away to whether a channel is real or not.
So here is PewDiePie`s real account (Notice the small tick/check beside his username)
And here are two fake accounts (with a lack of the tick/check)
(Oh and the amount of videos and subscribers should be a dead give away)
Next up is the comments, the easiest way to tell if the comment on a video is from the real youtuber is if the username is highlighted (The highlighting however Only happens when they comment on their OWN video, not someone else’s.
As an example, here`s PewDiePie replying to a comment on one of his vids.
Then there`s the about section, the first thing to look at is the date they joined…
so here`s the joined date from Markiplier`s real account
and here the date from a fake account
(Basically the real accounts dates will be older than the fake ones)
Then there`s a really big give away, the makers of the fake accounts are very unlikely to be fans of the youtuber they are attempting to steal views from (cause if you like art, you`re not gonna steal the Mona Lisa), so they`re bluff can be called quite quickly, since they have no interest in the youtuber they just copy and paste stuff and leave their screen capture on to copy the videos.
And surprisingly not being a fan means a lack of attention to detail such as, if you look at JackSepticEyes real account or are a fan you`ll know he`s Irish, but a fake account I came across listed his country as America (That is some quality channel copying right there) luckily though the fake channel has actually been closed down due to being flagged for copying another channels stuff (Serves them right :P)
Final piece of advice, if you come across the fake accounts, DO NOT COMMENT ON THEIR VIDEOS(They are getting attention when you do that, you are giving them EXACTLY what they want) DON`T LIKE OR DISLIKE THEIR VIDEOS(Wait, why the hell would you like them? it`s still more attention for them no matter how positive or negative).
IN FACT DON`T EVEN WATCH THEIR FAKE VIDEO, MOST OF THEM ARE GETTING PAID IF YOU WATCH THE VIDEO FOR A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF TIME(or something like that) THE LITTLE FUCKERS CAN GET PAID FOR IT, SO JUST FLAG THAT SHIT, LEAVE THE FAKE VIDEO AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE AND GO WATCH THE REAL YOUTUBERS WHO DESERVE YOUR VIEWS MORE!.
Hope this was helpful (ノ◕ヮ◕)ノ*:・゚✧
(Oh and another helpful way to stay away from fake accounts is to subscribe to the real ones)
(Oh and if anyone asks why I used Pewds,Mark and Jack as my 3 examples, it`s cause they have active fanbases on tumblr so people will have a higher chance of seeing this, oh and I freaking love those guys 😀 )
Good post! I just had to report 4 fake channels of me that uploaded the FNAF 4 footage already. One of the fake channels I got removed recently had 32 million views across all videos which is ridiculous for a fake. It also took 9 reports to get it removed too.
Youtube is in a very bad way with fakes right now and I really hope it’s stamped out soon
